SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product-

Frm 00054

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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 36 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 for input and consideration of views of industry groups, experts, users, consumers, governmental authorities, and others having broad experience in the safety field involved.
A. 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 scope 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.
B. SDO Deletion and Replacement of Test Standards The NRTL Program regulations require that appropriate test standards be maintained and current 29 CFR
1910.7c. A test standard withdrawn by an SDO is no longer considered an
