SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product-
safety testing and certification services to manufacturers. These
organizations
[[Page 14413]]
perform testing and certification for purposes of the program, to U.S.
consensus-based product-safety test standards. The products covered by
the NRTL Program consist of those items for which OSHA safety standards
require ``certification'' by a NRTL. The requirements affect electrical
products and 38 other types of products. OSHA does not develop or issue
these test standards, but generally relies on standards development
organizations (SDO), which develop and maintain the standards using a
method that provides input and consideration of views of industry
groups, experts, users, consumers, governmental authorities, and others
having broad experience in the safety field involved.
Addition of New Test Standards to the NRTL List of Appropriate Test
Standards
Periodically, OSHA will add new test standards to the NRTL list of
appropriate test standards following an evaluation of the test standard
document. To qualify as an appropriate test standard, the agency
evaluates the document to (1) verify it represents a product category
for which OSHA requires certification by a NRTL, (2) verify the
document represents an end product and not a component, and (3) verify
the document defines safety test specifications (not installation or
operational performance specifications). OSHA becomes aware of new test
standards through various avenues. For example, OSHA may become aware
of new test standards by: (1) Monitoring notifications issued by
certain SDO; (2) reviewing applications by NRTLs or applicants seeking
recognition to include a new test standard in their scopes of
recognition; and (3) obtaining notification from manufacturers,
manufacturing organizations, government agencies, or other parties that
a new test standard may be appropriate to add to the list of
appropriate standards. OSHA may determine to include a new test
standard in the list, for example, if the test standard is for a
particular type of product that another test standard also covers,
addresses a type of product that no standard previously covered, or is
otherwise new to the NRTL Program.
SDO Deletion and Replacement of Test Standards
The NRTL Program regulations require that appropriate test
standards be maintained and current (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard
withdrawn by a standards development organization is no longer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 in the Federal Register for all NRTLs
recognized for the withdrawn test standards. However, SDOs frequently
will designate a replacement standard for withdrawn standards. OSHA
will recognize a 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 a 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), then OSHA can
add the replacement test standard to affected NRTLs' scopes of
recognition. If OSHA's analysis shows the replacement test standard
requires an additional or different technical capability, or the
replacement test standard is not comparable to any existing test
standards, each affected NRTL seeking to have OSHA add the replacement
test standard to the NRTL's scope of recognition must provide
information to OSHA that demonstrates technical capability.
Other Reasons for Removal of Test Standards From the NRTL List of
Appropriate Test Standards
OSHA may choose to remove a test standard from the NRTL list of
appropriate test standards based on an internal review in which NRTL
Program staff review the NRTL list of appropriate test standards to
determine if the test standards conform to the definition of an
appropriate test standard defined in NRTL Program regulations and
policy. There are several reasons for removing a test standard based on
this review. First, a document that provides the methodology for a
single test is 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). 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 a 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 category.
Second, a document that focuses primarily on usage, installation,
or maintenance requirements would also not be considered an appropriate
test standard (Directive, App. D.IV.B). In some cases, however, a
document may also provide safety test specifications in addition to
usage, installation, and maintenance requirements. In such cases, the
document would be retained as an appropriate test standard based on the
safety test specifications.
Finally, a document may not be considered an appropriate test
standard if the document covers products for which OSHA does not
require testing and certification (Directive, App. D.IV.A). Similarly,
a document that covers electrical product components would not be
considered an appropriate test standard. These documents apply to types
of components that have limitation(s) or condition(s) on their use,
which 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.
In addition, OSHA notes that, to conform to a test standard
covering an end-use product, a NRTL must still determine that the
components in the product comply with the components' specific test
standards. 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 the 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.

II. Proposal To Remove Test Standards to the NRTL Program's List of
Appropriate Test Standards
In this notice, OSHA proposes to delete several withdrawn and
deleted test standards from the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test
standards. OSHA proposes to incorporate into the NRTL Program's list of
appropriate test standards replacement test standards for some of the
withdrawn and deleted test standards.
Table 1 lists the test standards that OSHA proposes to delete from
the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards, as well as an
abbreviated rationale for OSHA's proposed action. Additionally, Table 1
lists corresponding replacement test standards that OSHA proposes to
incorporate into the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards
(when applicable). OSHA seeks comment on this preliminary
determination.
OSHA notes 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.

III. Proposed Modifications to Affected NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition
In this notice, OSHA additionally proposes to update the scopes of
recognition of several NRTLs with a replacement for the test standard
OSHA proposes to remove. The tables in this section (Table 2 thru Table
9) list, for each affected NRTL, the test standard(s) that OSHA
proposes to remove from the scope of recognition of the NRTL along with
the proposed replacement test standard (if any).
OSHA seeks comment on whether its proposed deletion and replacement
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.
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, by the due date for
comments. OSHA will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester
justifies a longer time period. OSHA may deny a request for an
extension if it is not adequately justified.
