August 29, 2014 (79 FR 51615). 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 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. 

TABLE 1—LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST

STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN

SGS’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test 

standard Test standard title 

UL 982 .... Motor-Operated Household Food 

Preparing Machines. 

UL 1026 .. Electric Household Cooking and 

Food Serving Appliances. 

UL 1028 .. Hair Clipping and Shaving Appliances. 

UL 1431 .. Personal Hygiene and Health 

Care Appliances. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Many of OSHA’s workplace standards 

require that an NRTL test and certify 

certain types of equipment as safe for 

use in the workplace. NRTLs are 

independent laboratories that meet 

OSHA’s requirements for performing 

safety testing and certification of 

products used in the workplace. To 

obtain and retain OSHA recognition, 

NRTLs must meet the requirements in 

the NRTL Program regulations at 29 CFR 

1910.7. More specifically, to be 

recognized by OSHA, an organization 

must: (1) Have the appropriate 

capability to test, evaluate, and approve 

products to assure their safe use in the 

workplace; (2) be completely 

independent of employers subject to the 

tested equipment requirements, and 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

75842 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 244 / Friday, December 19, 2014 / Notices 

manufacturers and vendors of products 

for which OSHA requires certification; 

(3) have internal programs that ensure 

proper control of the testing and 

certification process; and (4) have 

effective reporting and complaint 

handling procedures. Recognition is an 

acknowledgement by OSHA that the 

NRTL has the capability to perform 

independent safety testing and 

certification of the specific products 

covered within the NRTL’s scope of 

recognition, and is not a delegation or 

grant of government authority. 

Recognition of an NRTL by OSHA also 

allows employers to use products 

certified by that NRTL to meet those 

OSHA standards that require product 

testing and certification. 

The Agency processes applications for 

initial recognition following 

requirements in Appendix A of 29 CFR 

1910.7. This appendix requires OSHA to 

publish two notices in the Federal 

Register in processing an application. In 

the first notice, OSHA announces the 

application, provides its preliminary 

finding, and solicits comments on its 

preliminary findings. In the second 

notice, the Agency provides its final 

decision on the application. These 

notices set forth the NRTL’s scope of 

recognition. 

II. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

Agency’s decision to grant recognition 

to QAI Laboratories, LTD. (QAI), as an 

NRTL. According to public information 

(see http://qai.org/about-us/), QAI states 

that it was founded in 1994 by a group 

of certification and testing experts, and 

it is an independent third-party testing, 

inspection and certification organization 

which serves the building industry, 

government and individuals with 

solutions through its in-house 

capabilities/services, and a world-wide 

network of qualified affiliates. In its 

application, QAI lists the current 

address of its headquarters as: QAI 

Laboratories, LTD., #16—211 

Schoolhouse Street, Coquitlam, British 

Columbia, Canada V3K 4X9. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition has 

three elements: (1) The type of products 

the NRTL may test, with each type 

specified by its applicable test standard; 

(2) the recognized site(s) that have the 

technical capability to perform the 

product-testing and productcertification activities for the applicable 

test standards within the NRTL’s scope 

of recognition; and (3) the supplemental 

program(s) that the NRTL may use, each 

of which allows the NRTL to rely on 

other parties to perform activities 

necessary for testing and certification. 

QAI applied for initial recognition as an 

NRTL on May 28, 2013. In its 

application, QAI requested recognition 

for three test standards, two sites, and 

one supplemental program (OSHA— 

2013–0017–0002, Exhibit 14–1—QAI 

Initial Application for Recognition). 

OSHA published the preliminary notice 

announcing QAI’s application for 

recognition in the Federal Register on 

August 29, 2014 (79 FR 51621). The 

Agency requested comments by 

September 29, 2014. 

OSHA received one anonymous 

comment in response to this notice 

(OSHA–2013–0017–0003). The 

comment (OSHA–2013–0017–0003) 

asked how OSHA ensures the applicant 

maintains its technical qualifications as 

well as the financial resources necessary 

to ensure only compliant products are 

certified. OSHA’s NRTL regulations (29 

CFR 1910.7(b)(1)) require OSHA to 

verify that the applicant ‘‘has the 

capability (including proper testing 

equipment and facilities, trained staff, 

written testing procedures, and 

calibration and quality control 

programs)’’ to perform testing and 

certification activities. As part of the 

application process, OSHA reviewed 

QAI’s procedures and conducted on-site 

assessments at both of its sites. OSHA 

determined that QAI had the necessary 

capabilities and resources to perform 

testing and certification activities. 

OSHA will conduct periodic on-site 

assessments, just as it does with all 

NRTLs, to ensure that QAI maintains 

the capability to perform testing and 

certification activities in accordance 

with OSHA NRTL regulations and 

policies. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to QAI’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–2013–0017 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

QAI’s recognition. 

III. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff performed a detailed 

analysis of QAI’s application packet and 

reviewed other pertinent information. 

OSHA staff also performed 

comprehensive on-site assessments of 

QAI’s testing facilities from February 24, 

2014 through February 26, 2014. Based 

on its review of this evidence, OSHA 

finds that QAI meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for recognition as an 

NRTL, subject to the limitations and 

conditions listed below. OSHA, 

therefore, is proceeding with this final 

notice to grant recognition to QAI as an 

NRTL. The following sections set forth 

the scope of recognition included in 

QAI’s grant of recognition. 

A. Standards Requested for Recognition 

OSHA limits QAI’s scope of 

recognition to testing and certification 

of products for demonstration of 

conformance to the test standards listed 

in Table 1 below. 

TABLE 1—LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST

STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN QAI’S

NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test 

standard Test standard title 

UL 10B ..... Fire Tests of Door Assemblies. 

UL 10C ..... Positive Pressure Fire Tests of 

Door Assemblies. 

UL 1598 ... Luminaires. 

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. 

B. Sites Requested for Recognition 

OSHA limits QAI’s scope of 

recognition to include the sites at: 

1. QAI Coquitlam, #16—211 

Schoolhouse Street, Coquitlam, British 

Columbia, CANADA V3K 4X9; and 

2. QAI Los Angeles, 8385 White Oak 

Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, California 

91730. 

OSHA’s recognition of these sites 

limits QAI to performing product testing 

and certifications only to the test 

standards for which the site has the 

proper capability and programs, and for 

test standards in QAI’s scope of 

recognition. This limitation is consistent 

with the recognition that OSHA grants 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 244 / Friday, December 19, 2014 / Notices 75843 

to other NRTLs that operate multiple 

sites. 

C. Supplemental Programs 

OSHA limits QAI’s scope of 

recognition to include the following 

supplemental program: 

Program 9: Acceptance of services 

other than testing or evaluation 

performed by subcontractors or agents 

(for calibration services only). 

A. Conditions 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, QAI 

also must abide by the following 

conditions of the recognition: 

1. QAI 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. QAI must meet all the terms of its 

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. QAI must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

QAI’s scope of recognition, in all areas 

for which it has recognition. 

Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 

1910.7, OSHA hereby grants recognition 

to QAI as an NRTL, subject to the 

limitations and conditions specified 

above.
