DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
[Docket No. OSHA-2013-0012]
Modification to the List of Appropriate NRTL Program Test
Standards and the Scopes of Recognition of Several NRTLs
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to: (1) Add
one new test standard to the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories
(NRTL) Program's list of appropriate test standards; (2) delete or
replace several test standards from the NRTL Program's list of
appropriate test standards; and (3) update the scope of recognition of
several NRTLs.
DATES: The actions contained in this notice will become effective on
March 24, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office
of Communications; telephone: (202) 693-1999; email:

NRTL Program (see http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html).
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. 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 (SDOs), 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 SDOs; (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 (CPL 01-00-004, NRTL Program
Policies, Procedures and Guidelines Directive, Chapter 2, IX). It is
OSHA's policy to remove recognition of withdrawn test standards by
issuing a correction notice in the Federal Register for all NRTLs
[[Page 16665]]
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), and 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 Program's
List of Appropriate Test Standards based on an internal review in which
NRTL Program staff review the NRTL Program's 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, 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 (NRTL Program Policies, Procedures and Guidelines
Directive, CPL-01-00-004, Chapter 2, Section VIII, 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 (NRTL Program Policies, Procedures
and Guidelines Directive, CPL-01-00-004, Chapter 2, Section VIII, B).
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' scope of recognition any
test standards covering end-use products that contain such
components.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 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, 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.
Proposed Modification to the List of Appropriate NRTL Program Test
Standards and the Scope of Recognition of Several NRTLs
In an April 10, 2019 Federal Register notice (84 FR 14412, referred
to in this notice as ``Proposed Modification,'' and available at
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID OSHA-2013-0012-0011), OSHA
proposed: Deleting several withdrawn and deleted test standards from
the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards; incorporating
into the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards replacement
test standards for some of the withdrawn and deleted test standards;
and updating the scope of recognition of several NRTLs. In response to
this notice, two comments (OSHA-2013-0012-0023) and (OSHA-2013-0012-
0024) were received from the public after the comment period ended. The
comments were not related to this Federal Register notice, and OSHA has
not made any modifications to this notice based on these comments.
OSHA further published a Federal Register notice regarding
insulating links on March 14, 2019 (84 FR 9384) and announced the final
decision on July 29, 2019 (84 FR 35887). This Federal Register notice
addressed the issue raised in the comments within 84 FR 14412.
Therefore the issue raised in the comments will not be addressed in
this notice.
II. Final Decision To Add a New Test Standard to the NRTL Program's
List of Appropriate Test Standards
In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to add one test
standard, UL 61010-2-061, Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control
and Laboratory Use--Part 2-061: Particular Requirements for Laboratory
Atomic Spectrometers with Thermal Atomization and Ionization to the
NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards. In the Proposed
Modification, OSHA proposed replacing withdrawn standards with nine
standards, eight of which are already included in the NRTL Program's
list of appropriate test standards. The standard
[[Page 16666]]
OSHA will add to the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards
is outlined below in Table 1 below:

OSHA will place on its informational web pages the modifications 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 the list of ``Appropriate Test Standards'' web page, those
test standards added to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test
Standards. The agency will add to the ``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.
