SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Notice of the Applications for Expansion OSHA hereby gives notice of the extension of the scope of recognition of TUV SUD America, Inc. TUVAM as a NRTL. TUVAMs expansion covers the addition of eighteen test standards to its NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA also hereby gives notice that it is adding one
test standard to the NRTL Programs List of Appropriate Test Standards.
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 the 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 NRTLs or applicant organizations for initial recognition, as well as for expansion or renewal of recognition, following requirements in Appendix A, 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. In the second notice, the agency provides the final decision on the application. These notices set forth the NRTLs scope of recognition or modifications of that scope. OSHA maintains an informational web page for each NRTL, including TUVAM, which details that NRTLs scope of recognition. These pages are available from the OSHA
website at: http www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/index.html.
TUVAM submitted an application, dated June 8, 2020 OSHA20070043
0036, to expand its recognition to include six additional test standards.
Additionally, TUVAM submitted an application on May 19, 2015 OSHA
200700430020 to expand its recognition to include two additional recognized test sites and twelve additional test standards. However, due to an omission, OSHA did not rule on the May 19, 2015 application to the extent TUVAM applied to expand its recognition to include the twelve additional test standards 82 FR 13143, March 9, 2017; 82 FR 28359, June 21,
2017. Those twelve standards are included in this notice. Therefore, the expansion announced in this notice covers eighteen standards, including one which OSHA proposes to add to the NRTL Programs List of Appropriate Test Standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of both application packets and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform any on-site reviews in relation to these applications insofar as the applications sought expansions of recognition to include the eighteen additional test standards.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing TUVAMs expansion applications in the Federal Register on July 2, 2021 86 FR 35347. The agency requested comments by July 19, 2021, but it received no comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this final notice to grant expansion of TUVAMs scope of recognition.
To review copies of all public documents pertaining to TUVAMs applications, go to http
www.regulations.gov or contact the Docket Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, at 202 6932350. Docket No.
OSHA20070043 contains all materials in the record concerning TUVAMs recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order OSHA staff examined TUVAMs expansion applications, the capability to meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent information. Based on a review of this evidence, OSHA finds that TUVAM
meets the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7 for expansion of recognition, subject to the specified limitations and conditions listed. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant expansion of TUVAMs scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of TUVAMs scope of recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration of conformance to the test standards listed in Table 1.
