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.

STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN

Test 

standard Test standard title 

UL 65 .......... Wired Cabinets. 

UL 73 .......... Motor-Operated Appliances. 

UL 153 ........ Portable Electric Luminaires. 

UL 482 ........ Portable Sun/Heat Lamps. 

UL 507 ........ Electric Fans. 

UL 508A ..... Industrial Control Panels. 

UL 60335–1 Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances, 

Part 1: General Requirements. 

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, an 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, we may use the 

designation of the standards-developing 

organization for the standard as opposed 

to the ANSI designation. Under the 

NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA 

Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix C, 

paragraph XIV), 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. 

A. Conditions 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, SGS 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

1. SGS 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 an NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. SGS must meet all the terms of its 

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. SGS must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

SGS’s scope of recognition, in all areas 

for which it has recognition. 

Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 

1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope 

of recognition of SGS, subject to the 

limitation and conditions specified 

above.
