SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

TUV SUD America, Inc. (TUVAM) as a 

NRTL. TUVAM’s expansion covers the 

addition of three test standards to the 

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 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products properly approved by the 

NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require testing and certification of the 

products. 

The agency processes applications by 

a NRTL for initial recognition and for an 

expansion or renewal of this 

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 TUVAM, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

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

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

TUVAM submitted an application, 

dated July 12, 2021, to expand their 

recognition as a NRTL to include five 

additional test standards (OSHA–2007– 

0043–0042). This application was 

amended on February 12, 2022, to 

remove two standards from the original 

application. The expansion will cover 

the addition of three test standards to 

TUVAM’s NRTL scope of recognition. 

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. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing TUVAM’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

May 27, 2022 (87 FR 32192). The agency 

requested comments by June 13, 2022, 

but it received no comments in response 

to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding 

with this final notice to grant expansion 

of TUVAM’s scope of recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to 

TUVAM’s application, go to http://

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2007–0043 

contains all materials in the record 

concerning TUVAM’s recognition. 

Please note: Due to the COVID–19 

pandemic, the Docket Office is closed to 

the public at this time but can be 

contacted at (202) 693–2350 (TTY (877) 

889–5627). 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined TUVAM’s 

expansion application, its capability to 

meet the requirements of the test 

standards, and other pertinent 

information. Based on its review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that TUVAM 

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, 

subject to the limitations and conditions 

listed in this notice. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant TUVAM’s scope of recognition. 

OSHA limits the expansion of TUVAM’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 TUVAM’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 104 ............................................ Elevator Door Locking Devices and Contacts. 

UL 583 ............................................ Electric-Battery Powered Industrial Trucks. 

UL 61010–031 ................................ Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use—Part 031: Safety Requirements for 

Hand-Held and Hand-Manipulated Probe Assemblies for Electrical Measurement and Test. 

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. 

The American National Standards 

Institute (ANSI) may approve the test 

standards listed above as American 

National Standards. However, for 

convenience, the use of the designation 

of the standards-developing 

organization for the standard as opposed 

to the ANSI designation may occur. 

Under the NRTL Program’s policy (see 

OSHA Instruction CPL 01–00–004, 

Chapter 2, Section VIII), only standards 

determined to be appropriate test 

standards may be approved for NRTL 

recognition. Any NRTL recognized for a 

particular test standard may use either 

the proprietary version of the test 

standard or the ANSI version of that 

standard. Contact ANSI to determine 

whether a test standard is currently 

ANSI-approved.

conditions of the recognition: 

1. TUVAM must inform OSHA as

1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope 

of recognition of TUVAM, subject to the 

limitations and conditions specified 

above.
