SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration is providing notice that 

Nemko-CCL, Inc. (CCL), is applying for 

expansion of its current recognition as 

an NRTL. CCL requests the addition of 

two 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 CCL, 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. 

CCL currently has one facility 

recognized by OSHA for product testing 

and certification, with its headquarters 

located at: 1940 West Alexander Street, 

Salt Lake City, Utah 84119–2039. A 

complete list of CCL’s scope of 

recognition is available at https://

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

II. General Background on the 

Application 

CCL submitted an application, dated 

June 30, 2014 (Exhibit 1), to expand its 

recognition to include two additional 

test standards. 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 below lists the appropriate 

test standards found in CCL’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 CCL’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

ANSI/AAMI ES60601–1: 2005/

(R)2012.

Medical electric equipment—Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance. 

UL 60601—1 ................................... Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1: General Requirements for Safety. 

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

CCL submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of its scope of 

recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file, and pertinent 

documentation, indicate that CCL can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding its 

recognition to include the addition of 

these two test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed above. 

This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of CCL’s application. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether CCL 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 

in this notice, as well as comments 

submitted to the docket, contact the 

Docket Office, Room N–2625, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, at the above address. These 

materials also are available online at 

http://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2013–0016. 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner and, after addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, will 

recommend to the Assistant Secretary 

for Occupational Safety and Health 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

whether to grant CCL’s application for 

expansion of its scope of recognition. 

The Assistant Secretary will make the 

final decision on granting the 

application. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

Curtis-Straus LLC (CSL) as an NRTL. 

CSL’s expansion covers the addition of 

one test standard 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. 

CSL submitted an application, dated 

February 12, 2014 (OSHA–2009–0026– 

0023, Exhibit 14–1—CSL Expansion 

Application for AAMI ES 60601–1), to 

expand its recognition to include one 

additional test standard. OSHA staff 

performed a comparability analysis and 

reviewed other pertinent information. 

OSHA did not perform any on-site 

reviews in relation to this application. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing CSL’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

August 29, 2014 (79 FR 51616). The 

Agency requested comments by 

September 15, 2014, but it received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

OSHA now is proceeding with this final 

notice to grant expansion of CSL’s scope 

of recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to CSL’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–2009–0026 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

CSL’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined CSL’s 

expansion application, its capability to 

meet the requirements of the test 

standard, and other pertinent 

information. Based on its review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that CSL 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 CSL’s 

scope of recognition. OSHA limits the 

expansion of CSL’s recognition to 

testing and certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standard listed in Table 1 below. 

TABLE 1—APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN CSL’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

AAMI ES60601–1 ........................... Medical electrical equipment—Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance. 

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
