SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET) as a 

NRTL. MET’s expansion covers the 

addition of three 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. 

MET submitted three applications, 

dated October 15, 2015 (OSHA–2006– 

0028–0031), March 2, 2016 (OSHA– 

2006–0028–0032), and March 18, 2016 

(OSHA–2006–0028–0033), to expand its 

recognition to include three additional 

test standards, including two test 

standards to be added to the NRTL 

Program’s List of Appropriate 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 these 

applications. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing MET’s expansion 

applications in the Federal Register on 

June 1, 2017 (82 FR 25338). The Agency 

requested comments by June 16, 2017, 

but it received no comments in response 

to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding 

with this final notice to grant expansion 

of MET’s scope of recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to MET’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–3508, Washington, DC 20210. 

Docket No. OSHA–2006–0028 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

MET’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined MET’s 

expansion applications, its capability to 

meet the requirements of the test 

standards, and other pertinent 

information. Based on its review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that MET 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 MET’s 

scope of recognition. OSHA limits the 

expansion of MET’s recognition to 

testing and certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards listed in Table 1 below. 

Additionally, Table 2, below, lists the 

test standards new to the NRTL 

Program’s List of Appropriate Test 

Standards. The Agency evaluated the 

standards to (1) verify they represent 

product categories for which OSHA 

requires certification by a NRTL, (2) 

verify the documents represent end 

products and not components, and (3) 

verify the documents define safety test 

specifications (not installation or 

operational performance specifications). 

Based on this evaluation, OSHA finds 

that they are appropriate test standards 

and has added these standards to the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards.

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, a 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, MET 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

1. MET 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 a NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. MET must meet all the terms of its 

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. MET must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

MET’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 MET, subject to the 

limitation and conditions specified 

above.
