SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product-
safety testing and certification services to manufacturers. These 
organizations perform testing and certification, for purposes of the 
Program, to U.S. consensus-based product-safety test standards. OSHA 
does not develop or issue these test standards, but generally relies on 
U.S. standards-development organizations (SDOs) accredited by the 
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The products covered by 
the Program consist of those items for which OSHA safety standards 
require ``certification'' by an NRTL. The requirements affect 
electrical products and 38 other types of products.
    OSHA recognition of an organization as an NRTL signifies that the 
organization meets the legal requirements in the NRTL Program 
regulations at 29 CFR 1910.7 and the NRTL Program policies in CPL 1-0.3 
NRTL Program Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines (``Directive''). 
Recognition is an acknowledgement by OSHA that the NRTL can perform 
independent safety testing and certification of the specific products 
covered within the NRTL's scope of recognition. 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 (29 CFR 1910.7(a)).
    An NRTL's scope of recognition consists, in part, of the specific 
test standard(s) approved by OSHA for use by the NRTL. Pursuant to the 
NRTL Program regulations, the NRTL must first request to have a test 
standard included in its scope of recognition. OSHA will grant the 
NRTL's request only if the NRTL has the capability to test and examine 
equipment \1\ and materials for workplace safety purposes and to 
determine conformance with the test standard for each relevant item of 
equipment or material that it lists, labels, or accepts (29 CFR 
1910.7(b)(1)). Capability includes proper testing equipment and 
facilities, trained staff, written testing procedures, and calibration 
and quality-control programs. An organization's recognition as an NRTL 
is, therefore, not for products, but for ``appropriate'' test standards 
covering a type of product(s) (29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In this notice, OSHA uses the terms ``equipment'' and 
``product'' or ``products'' interchangeably.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to the NRTL Program regulations, to be ``appropriate,'' a 
test standard must be current, and it must specify the safety 
requirements for a specific type of product(s) (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). OSHA 
policy provides that a document specifies safety requirements for a 
specific type product(s) if the document includes ``features, parts, 
capabilities, usage limitations, or installation requirements which if 
they did not exist would create a potential hazard in using the 
equipment'' (Directive, App. D.IV.B). However, OSHA policy also 
provides that the document not ``focus primarily on usage, 
installation, or maintenance requirements'' (Directive, App. D.IV.B). 
Finally, as OSHA requires the testing and certification of certain 
products only (29 CFR 1910.7(a)), an NRTL's scope of recognition should 
not include test standards that do not specify safety requirements for 
products for which OSHA does not require testing and certification 
(Directive, App. D.IV.A).

II. Modifying Test Standards in NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition

A. Proposed Deletion of Withdrawn Test Standards From, and 
Incorporation of Replacement Test Standards Into, the Scopes of 
Recognition of Several NRTLs

    In this notice, OSHA proposes to delete several withdrawn test 
standards from the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs. OSHA also 
proposes to incorporate into the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs 
test standards to replace some of the withdrawn (and deleted) test 
standards.
    The NRTL Program regulations require that appropriate test 
standards be current (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard withdrawn by a 
standards organization is no longer considered an appropriate test 
standard (Directive, App. C.XIV.B). It is OSHA's policy to remove 
recognition of withdrawn test standards by issuing a correction notice

[[Page 38391]]

in the Federal Register for all NRTLs recognized for the withdrawn test 
standards. However, OSHA will recognize an NRTL for an appropriate 
replacement test standard if the NRTL has the requisite testing and 
evaluation capability for the replacement test standard.
    One method that NRTLs may use to show such capability involves an 
analysis to determine whether any testing and evaluation requirements 
of existing test standards in an NRTL's scope are comparable (i.e., are 
completely or substantially identical) to the requirements in the 
replacement test standard. If OSHA's analysis shows the replacement 
test standard does not require additional or different technical 
capability than an existing test standard(s), the replacement test 
standard is comparable to the existing test standard(s), and OSHA can 
add the replacement test standard to affected NRTLs' scopes of 
recognition. In making this determination, OSHA also considers the 
documents or medium that the NRTL uses to record test and evaluation 
data or results, which OSHA commonly calls ``test datasheets,'' to be 
part of the NRTL's written testing procedures.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Such datasheets may be electronic records or hardcopies, and 
must ensure that the NRTL will capture all necessary test and 
evaluation data or results completely and accurately. Additionally, 
datasheets may be separate or combined in other documents or 
records.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If OSHA's analysis shows the replacement test standard requires an 
additional or different technical capability, the replacement test 
standard is not comparable to any existing test standards. Furthermore, 
if a replacement test standard requires the NRTL to modify its 
datasheets substantively, or to develop new datasheets, then the test 
standards are also not comparable. In such cases (i.e., when the test 
standards are not comparable), each affected NRTL that seeks to have 
OSHA add the replacement test standard to the NRTL's scope of 
recognition must provide information to OSHA that demonstrates 
technical capability.

B. Proposed Deletion of Inappropriate Test Standards From the Scopes of 
Recognition of Several NRTLs

    OSHA proposes to delete several test standards from the scopes of 
recognition of several NRTLs based on a recent internal review in which 
NRTL Program staff determined that several test standards currently in 
the NRTLs' scopes of recognition did not conform to the definition of 
appropriate test standard defined in NRTL Program regulations and 
policy. First, one of the documents at issue, UL 1666, provides the 
methodology for one test only, and is, therefore, a test method rather 
than an appropriate test standard (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). As stated above, 
a test standard must specify the safety requirements for a specific 
type of product(s). Id. A test method, however, is a ``specified 
technical procedure for performing a test'' (Directive, App. B). As 
such, a test method is not an appropriate test standard: While an NRTL 
may use a test method to determine if certain safety requirements are 
met, a test method is not itself a safety requirement for a specific 
product.
    Second, several of the documents focus primarily on usage, 
installation, or maintenance requirements. As stated above, such 
documents are not appropriate test standards (Directive, App. D.IV.B).
    Third, some of the documents are not appropriate test standards 
because the documents cover products for which OSHA does not require 
testing and certification (Directive, App. D.IV.A). OSHA initially 
recognized these documents for use in the NRTL Program under OSHA 
standards such as 29 CFR 1910.68. These OSHA standards do not require 
testing and certification for the product(s) covered by the documents 
OSHA proposes to delete.
    Finally, several of the documents cover electrical-product 
components, such as transformers, resistors, and capacitors used in 
television-type appliances. These documents apply to types of 
components that have limitation(s) or condition(s) on their use, in 
that they are not appropriate for use as end-use products. These 
documents also specify that these types of components are for use only 
as part of an end-use product. NRTLs, however, evaluate such components 
only in the context of evaluating whether end-use products requiring 
NRTL approval are safe for use in the workplace. Testing such 
components alone would not indicate that the end-use products 
containing the components are safe for use. Accordingly, as a matter of 
policy, OSHA considers that documents covering such components are not 
appropriate test standards under the NRTL Program. OSHA notes, however, 
that it is not proposing to delete from NRTLs' scopes of recognition 
any test standards covering end-use products that contain such 
components.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ OSHA notes also that some types of devices covered by these 
documents, such as capacitors and transformers, may be end-use 
products themselves, and tested under other test standards 
applicable to such products. For example, the following test 
standard covers transformers that are end-use products: UL 1562 
Standard for Transformers, Distribution, Dry-Type--Over 600 Volts. 
OSHA is not proposing to delete such test standards from NRTLs' 
scopes of recognition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, OSHA notes that, to conform to a test standard 
covering an end-use product, an NRTL must still determine that the 
components in the product comply with these components' specific test 
standards, some of which OSHA is proposing to delete in this notice. In 
making this determination, NRTLs may test the components themselves, or 
accept the testing of a qualified testing organization that a given 
component conforms to its particular test standard. OSHA reviews each 
NRTL's procedures to determine which approach the NRTL will use to 
address components, and reviews the end-use product testing to verify 
the NRTL appropriately addresses that product's components.
    OSHA added the documents now subject to deletion to affected NRTLs' 
scopes of recognition before OSHA issued the NRTL Program Directive. 
The Directive clarified the meaning of ``appropriate test standard.'' 
After issuing the Directive, OSHA deleted some documents from NRTLs' 
scopes of recognition because those documents were not appropriate test 
standards (see 70 FR 11273, March 8, 2005). After further review of the 
entire list of test standards recognized under the NRTL Program, OSHA 
determined that it should delete additional documents from NRTLs' 
scopes of recognition. In all cases, these deletions would be 
programmatic corrections only, and do not reflect OSHA's view of the 
technical merits of the documents. In addition, deleting these 
documents from the NRTLs' scopes of recognition would not prevent 
testing organizations (including NRTLs) from using the deleted 
documents for their testing activities.

III. Test Standards OSHA Proposes To Delete and Incorporate

    Table 1 lists the test standards that OSHA proposes to delete from 
affected NRTLs' scopes of recognition, as well as an abbreviated 
rationale for OSHA's proposed actions. For a full discussion of the 
rationale, see, above, Sections II.A and II.B of this notice. Table 1 
also lists corresponding replacement test standards that OSHA proposes 
to incorporate into the NRTLs' scopes of recognition (when applicable).
    In most cases, OSHA already incorporated the proposed replacement 
test standards into affected NRTLs' scopes of recognition. OSHA 
proposes

[[Page 38392]]

one of the following actions with respect to the remaining cases:
    1. OSHA proposes to incorporate, for all affected NRTLs, comparable 
test standards that SDOs adopted to replace withdrawn (and deleted) 
test standards; or
    2. OSHA proposes to incorporate, for all affected NRTLs, 
appropriate test standards that OSHA concludes are comparable to the 
withdrawn (and deleted) test standards.
    OSHA notes that it is not proposing to delete UL 664 from the 
scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs, even though Underwriters 
Laboratories withdrew UL 664. OSHA currently is examining whether it 
can incorporate any test standard(s) into the scopes of recognition of 
affected NRTLs to replace UL 664. Once OSHA completes this examination, 
it will issue a new Federal Register notice addressing the deletion of 
UL 664 from the scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs.
    OSHA also notes that it is not proposing to delete UL 1004 from the 
scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs even though Underwriters 
Laboratories withdrew UL 1004, and issued UL 1004-1 as a replacement. 
Unlike other replacements shown in this notice, OSHA believes that UL 
1004-1 is not comparable to UL 1004. OSHA currently is working on a 
separate Federal Register notice that will propose how OSHA plans to 
incorporate such test standard(s), and a number of other test 
standards, into the scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs. OSHA plans 
to publish this notice in the near future.
    OSHA notes also that Table 1 lists the subject test standards and 
the proposed action with regard to each of these test standards without 
indicating how the proposed action will affect individual NRTLs. 
Section IV of this notice discusses how the proposed action will affect 
individual NRTLs.

    Note 1:  OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is 
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Therefore, OSHA proposes 
to incorporate the replacement test standard into affected NRTLs' 
scopes of recognition without requiring affected NRTLs to further 
demonstrate capability, as specified by 29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1). OSHA 
notes that such proposed action is not necessary for those NRTLs 
with scopes of recognition that already include the proposed 
replacement test standard.

IV. Proposed Modifications to Affected NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition

    The tables in this section (Table 2 thru Table 13) list, for each 
affected NRTL, the test standard(s) that OSHA proposes to delete from 
the scope of recognition of the NRTL and, when applicable, the test 
standard(s) that OSHA proposes to incorporate into the scope of 
recognition of that NRTL to replace withdrawn (and deleted) test 
standards. Notes to the tables make clear whether individual NRTLs must 
submit information to demonstrate their capability for each proposed 
replacement test standard.
    OSHA seeks the following input on whether the actions OSHA proposes 
in the tables are appropriate:
    1. OSHA seeks comment on whether its proposed deletions and 
incorporations are appropriate, and whether individual tables omit any 
appropriate replacement test standard that is comparable to a withdrawn 
test standard. If OSHA determines that it omitted any appropriate 
replacement test standard that is comparable to a withdrawn test 
standard, it will, in its final determination, incorporate that 
replacement test standard into the scope of recognition of each 
affected NRTL.
    2. In addition, the test standards listed in the tables include 
only withdrawn or otherwise inappropriate standards of which OSHA 
became aware on or before May 1, 2013. OSHA seeks input on whether 
individual NRTLs' scopes of recognition contain any additional 
withdrawn or otherwise inappropriate test standards.
    OSHA will incorporate into its informational Web pages the 
modifications OSHA decides to make to each NRTL's scope of recognition. 
These Web pages detail the scope of recognition for each NRTL, 
including the test standards the NRTL may use to test and certify 
products under OSHA's NRTL Program. OSHA also will add, to its 
``Composite List of Standards Recognized under the NRTL Program'' Web 
page, those test standards it incorporates into affected NRTLs' scopes 
of recognition, and add, to its ``Composite List of Test Standards No 
Longer Recognized'' Web page, those test standards that OSHA no longer 
recognizes or permits under the NRTL Program. Access to these Web pages 
is available at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    OSHA proposes the following revisions to the scopes of recognition 
of individual NRTLs:

    Note 2: OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is 
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Moreover, OSHA already 
includes the proposed replacement test standard in the NRTL's scope 
of recognition. Therefore, no further demonstration of capability is 
necessary at this time.


    Note 3: OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is 
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Therefore, OSHA proposes 
to incorporate the replacement test standard into the NRTLs' scopes 
of recognition without requiring the NRTL to further demonstrate 
capability, as specified by 29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1).

    Note 2:  OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is 
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Moreover, OSHA already 
includes the proposed replacement test standard in the NRTL's scope 
of recognition. Therefore, no further demonstration of capability is 
necessary at this time.


    Note 3:  OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is 
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Therefore, OSHA proposes 
to incorporate the replacement test standard into the NRTLs' scopes 
of recognition without requiring the NRTL to further demonstrate 
capability, as specified by 29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1).
