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 expansion of its current 

recognition as an NRTL. SGS requests 

the addition of nine test standards to its 

NRTL scope of recognition. 

OSHA recognition of an 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 its scope of recognition. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition 

includes (1) the type of products the 

NRTL may test, with each type specified 

by its 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 

an 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 its preliminary 

finding. In the second notice, the 

Agency provides its 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 the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

OSHA Web site at http://www.osha.gov/ 

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

SGS currently has one facility (site) 

recognized by OSHA for product testing 

and certification, with its 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 http://

www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/sgs.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

SGS submitted three applications, 

dated March 13, 2014 (Exhibit 14–4— 

SGS Request for Expansion), May 15, 

2014 (Exhibit 14–5—SGS Request for 

Expansion) and May 28, 2014 (Exhibit 

14–6—SGS Request for Expansion), to 

expand its recognition to include a total 

of nine additional test standards. OSHA 

staff performed a detailed analysis of the 

application packets and reviewed other 

pertinent information. OSHA did not 

perform any on-site reviews in relation 

to this application. 

Table 1 below lists the appropriate 

test standards found in SGS’s 

applications for expansion for testing 

and certification of products under the 

NRTL Program.

UL 783 ..................................................... Electric Flashlights and Lanterns for Use in Hazardous (Classified) Locations. 

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

SGS submitted acceptable 

applications for expansion of its scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application files, and pertinent 

documentation, indicate that SGS can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding its 

recognition to include the addition of 

these nine test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed above. 

This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of SGS’s applications. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether SGS meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its 

recognition as an NRTL. 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 obtain or 

review copies of the exhibits identified

for Occupational Safety and Health 

whether to grant SGS’s applications for 

expansion of its scope of recognition. 

The Assistant Secretary will make the 

final decision on granting the 

applications. In making this decision, 

the Assistant Secretary may undertake 

other proceedings prescribed in 

Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA 

will publish a public notice of its final 

decision in the Federal Register.

NRTL Program (see http:// 

www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

index.html). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

SGS North America, Inc. (SGS), as an 

NRTL. SGS’s expansion covers the 

addition of eight test standards to its 

scope of recognition. 

OSHA recognition of an NRTL 

signifies that the organization meets the 

requirements specified by 29 CFR 

1910.7. 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 properly approved by the 

NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require testing and certification of the 

products. 

The Agency processes applications by 

an NRTL for initial recognition, or for 

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 its preliminary 

finding and, in the second notice, the 

Agency provides its 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 that details its scope of 

recognition. These pages are available 

from the Agency’s Web site at http:// 

www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

index.html. 

SGS submitted an application, dated 

June 26, 2013 (OSHA–2006–0040–0010, 

Exhibit 14–1—SGS Request for 

Expansion), to expand its recognition to 

include five additional test standards. 

SGS submitted an amendment to the 

application on July 17, 2013 (OSHA– 

2006–0040–0011, Exhibit 14–2—SGS 

Request for Additional Test Standards), 

requesting three additional test 

standards for inclusion in the expansion 

request, for a total of eight additional 

requested test standards. OSHA staff 

performed a detailed analysis of the 

application file and reviewed other 

pertinent information. OSHA did not 

perform any on-site reviews in relation 

to this application. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing SGS’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

July 24, 2014 (79 FR 43097). The 

Agency requested comments by August 

8, 2014, but it received no comments in 

response to this notice. OSHA now is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion of SGS’s scope of 

recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to SGS’s 

application, go to www.regulations.gov 

or contact the Docket Office, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., 

Room N–2625, Washington, DC 20210. 

Docket No. OSHA–2006–0040 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

SGS’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined SGS’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 SGS meets 

the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of its recognition, subject to 

the limitation and conditions listed 

below. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding 

with this final notice to grant SGS’s 

scope of recognition. OSHA limits the 

expansion of SGS’s recognition to 

testing and certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards listed in Table 1 below.
