expansion applications in the Federal 

Register on June 25, 2021 (86 FR 33779). 

The agency requested comments by July 

12, 2021, but it received no comments 

in response to this notice. OSHA now is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion of TUVRNA’s scope of 

recognition. 

To review copies of all public 

documents pertaining to TUVRNA’s 

application, go to www.regulations.gov 

or contact the Docket Office, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor at (202) 693–2350. Docket No. 

OSHA–2007–0042 contains all materials 

in the record concerning TUVRNA’s 

recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined TUVRNA’s 

expansion application, their capability 

to meet the requirements of the test 

standards, and other pertinent 

information. Based on its review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that TUVRNA 

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, 

subject to the limitations and conditions 

listed below. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant TUVRNA’s scope of recognition. 

OSHA limits the expansion of 

TUVRNA’s recognition to testing and 

certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards listed below in Table 1. 

TABLE 1—LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST

STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN

TUVRNA’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 399 ...................... Standard for DrinkingWater Coolers. 

UL 1973 .................... Standard for Batteries 

for Use in Stationary, Vehicle 

Auxillary Power 

and Light Electric 

Rail (LER) Applications. 

UL 2054 .................... Standard for Household and Commercial Batteries. 

UL 2271 .................... Standard for Batteries 

for Use in Light 

Electric Vehicle Applications. 

OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for 

a particular test standard is limited to 

equipment or materials for which OSHA 

standards require third-party testing and 

certification before using them in the 

workplace. Consequently, if a test 

standard also covers any products for 

which OSHA does not require such 

testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope 

of recognition does not include these 

products. 

A. Conditions 

Recognition is contingent on 

continued compliance with 29 CFR 

1910.7, including but not limited to, 

abiding by the following conditions of 

recognition: 

1. TUVRNA must inform OSHA as 

soon as possible, in writing, of any 

change of ownership, facilities, or key 

personnel, and of any major change in 

its operations as a NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. TUVRNA must meet all the terms 

of its recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and 

3. TUVRNA must continue to meet 

the requirements for recognition, 

including all previously published 

conditions on TUVRNA’s scope of 

recognition, in all areas for which it has 

recognition. 

OSHA hereby expands the scope of 

recognition of TUVRNA, subject to the 

limitations and conditions specified 

above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration is providing notice that 

SGS North America, Inc. (SGS) is 

applying for an expansion of the current 

recognition as a NRTL. SGS requests the 

addition of five test standards to its 

NRTL scope of recognition. 

OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies 

that the organization meets the 

requirements specified in 29 CFR 

1910.7. Recognition is an 

acknowledgment that the organization 

can perform independent safety testing 

and certification of the specific products 

covered within the scope of recognition. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition 

includes (1) the type of products the 

NRTL may test, with each type specified 

by the applicable test standard; and (2) 

the recognized site(s) that has/have the 

technical capability to perform the 

product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards 

within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is 

not a delegation or grant of government 

authority; however, recognition enables 

employers to use products approved by 

the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require product testing and certification. 

The agency processes applications by 

NRTLs or applicant organizations for 

initial recognition, as well as for 

expansion or renewal of recognition, 

following requirements in Appendix A 

to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix 

requires that the agency publish two 

notices in the Federal Register in 

processing an application. In the first 

notice, OSHA announces the 

application and provides a preliminary 

finding. In the second notice, the agency 

provides the final decision on the 

application. These notices set forth the 

NRTL’s scope of recognition or 

modifications of that scope. OSHA 

maintains an informational web page for 

each NRTL, including SGS, which 

details that NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/ 

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

SGS currently has nine facilities 

(sites) recognized by OSHA for product 

testing and certification, with the 

headquarters located at: SGS North 

America, Inc., 620 Old Peachtree Road, 

Suwanee, Georgia 30024. A complete 

list of SGS’s scope of recognition is 

available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/ 

otpca/nrtl/sgs.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

SGS submitted an application to 

OSHA to expand recognition as a NRTL 

to include five additional test standards 

on February 5, 2020 (OSHA–2006– 

0040–0066). OSHA staff performed a 

detailed analysis of the application 

packet and reviewed other pertinent 

information. OSHA did not perform any 

on-site reviews in relation to this 

application. 

Table 1 lists the test standards found 

in SGS’s application for expansion for 

testing and certification of products 

under the NRTL Program. 

TABLE 1—PROPOSED LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN SGS’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 355 ............................................ Cord Reels. 

UL 1576 * ........................................ Flashlights and Lanterns. 

UL 1977 .......................................... Component Connectors for Use in Data, Signal, Control and Power Applications.

UL 61800–5–1 ................................ Adjustable Speed Electrical Power Drive Systems—Part 5–1: Safety Requirements—Electrical, Thermal 

and Energy. 

* Represents the standard OSHA proposes to add to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. 

III. Proposal To Add a New Test 

Standard to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards 

Periodically, OSHA will propose to 

add new test standards to the NRTL list 

of appropriate test standards following 

an evaluation of the test standard 

document. To qualify as an appropriate 

test standard, the agency evaluates the 

document to (1) verify it represents a 

product category for which OSHA 

requires certification by a NRTL, (2) 

verify the document represents an end 

product and not a component, and (3) 

verify the document defines safety test 

specifications (not installation or 

operational performance specifications). 

OSHA becomes aware of new test 

standards through various avenues. For 

example, OSHA may become aware of 

new test standards by: (1) Monitoring 

notifications issued by certain 

Standards Development Organizations; 

(2) reviewing applications by NRTLs or 

applicants seeking recognition to 

include new test standard in their 

scopes of recognition; and (3) obtaining 

notification from manufacturers, 

manufacturing organizations, 

government agencies, or other parties. 

OSHA may determine to include a new 

test standard in the list, for example, if 

the test standard is for a particular type 

of product that another test standard 

also covers or it covers a type of product 

that no standard previously covered. 

In this notice, OSHA proposes to add 

one new test standard to the NRTL 

Program’s list of appropriate test 

standards. Table 2, below, lists this test 

standard.

PROPOSING TO ADD TO THE NRTL 

PROGRAM’S LIST OF APPROPRIATE

TEST STANDARDS

UL 1576 * ....... Flashlights and Lanterns. 

IV. Preliminary Findings 

SGS submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file and pertinent 

documentation preliminarily indicates 

that SGS can meet the requirements 

prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expanding its recognition to include the 

addition of the five test standards listed 

in Table 1, above, for NRTL testing and 

certification. This preliminary finding 

does not constitute an interim or

temporary approval of SGS’s 

application. 

OSHA also preliminarily determined 

that the test standard listed in Table 2, 

above, is an appropriate test standard 

and that this test standard should be 

added to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards. 

OSHA seeks public comment on these 

preliminary determinations. 

V. Public Participation 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether SGS meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the 

recognition as a NRTL and whether the 

test standard listed in Table 2, above, is 

an appropriate test standard that should 

be included in the NRTL Program’s List 

of Appropriate Test Standards. 

Comments should consist of pertinent 

written documents and exhibits. 

Commenters needing more time to 

comment must submit a request in 

writing, stating the reasons for the 

request. Commenters must submit the 

written request for an extension by the 

due date for comments. OSHA will limit 

any extension to 10 days unless the 

requester justifies a longer period. 

OSHA may deny a request for an 

extension if the request is not 

adequately justified. 

To review copies of the exhibits 

identified in this notice, as well as 

comments submitted to the docket, 

contact the Docket Office, Occupational 

Safety and Health Administration, U.S. 

Department of Labor. These materials 

also are generally available online at 

http://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2006–0040 (for 

further information, see the ‘‘Docket’’ 

heading in the section of this notice 

titled ADDRESSES). 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner and, after addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, will make a

Secretary for Occupational Safety and 

Health whether to grant SGS’s 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition and to add the test 

standard listed in Table 2, above, to the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards. The Assistant Secretary 

will make the final decision on granting 

the application and on adding the test 

standard listed in Table 2, above, to the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards. In making these 

decisions, the Assistant Secretary may 

undertake other proceedings prescribed 

in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. 

OSHA will publish a public notice of 

the final decision in the Federal 

Register.
