Curtis-Strauss LLC: Grant of 

Expansion of Recognition 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA 

announces its final decision to expand 

the scope of recognition for CurtisStrauss LLC as a Nationally Recognized 

Testing Laboratory (NRTL). 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes available on 

September 5, 2017.

Information regarding this notice is 

available from the following sources:

General and technical information: 

Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson, Director,

Web page includes information about 

the NRTL Program (see http://

index.html). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

Curtis-Strauss LLC (CSL) as a NRTL. 

CSL’s expansion covers the addition of 

five test standards to its scope of 

recognition. 

OSHA recognition of a 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 

a 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 

December 30, 2016, (OSHA–2009–0026– 

0073) to expand its recognition to 

include five additional test standards. 

OSHA staff performed a comparability 

analysis of the application packet 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 

June 21, 2017 (82 FR 28356). The 

Agency requested comments by July 6, 

2017, 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 

standards, 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 standards listed in Table 1 below.
