SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) is giving notice 

of the denial of renewal of recognition 

of Electrical Reliability Services, Inc. 

(formerly Electro-Test, Inc.) (ETI) as a 

Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). OSHA is taking this 

action following its requirements under 

Subsection I.B. of Appendix A to 29 

CFR 1910.7. 

OSHA recognition of an NRTL 

signifies that the organization has met 

the legal requirements in Section 1910.7 

of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations 

(29 CFR 1910.7), OSHA’s NRTL Program 

regulations. Recognition is an 

acknowledgment that the organization 

can perform independent safety testing 

and certification of the specific products 

covered within its scope of recognition 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products in the workplace that are 

properly approved by the NRTL to meet 

OSHA standards that require testing and 

certification. 

Subsection I.B describes the 

procedures that OSHA must use in 

deciding an NRTL’s application for 

renewal of recognition. In order to 

approve such an application, the NRTL 

must meet all of the requirements for 

recognition in 29 CFR 1910.7. 

Subsection I.B sets out the steps OSHA 

must follow in reviewing each renewal 

application and provides the NRTL 

opportunities to correct or respond to 

any perceived failures to meet the 

requirements. 

OSHA followed the process set forth 

in Subsection I.B and is denying 

renewal of ETI as an NRTL. OSHA 

found that ETI’s ownership by Emerson 

Electric Company resulted in ETI’s 

failure to satisfy the requirement of 29 

CFR 1910.7 that NRTLs be independent 

of the manufacturers and vendors of the 

products for which OSHA requires 

certification. This failure constitutes a 

cause for non-renewal under OSHA’s 

NRTL Program regulations. 

OSHA has notified ETI of its final 

decision to deny its application for 

renewal. The effective date of nonrenewal is shown in the DATES section 

above. As of this date, the Agency no 

longer accepts product certifications 

done by ETI. 

Docket No. OSHA–2007–0038 

contains all public materials in the 

record concerning the recognition of 

ETI. You may obtain or review copies of 

these documents by contacting the
