SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In a notice published in the Federal Register on June 26, 2013 (78
FR 38389), OSHA proposed to delete specific test standards from the
scopes of recognition of several NRTLs, and incorporate replacement
test standards into the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs. OSHA
now is issuing its final determination with respect to that proposal.
The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product-
safety testing and certification services to manufacturers. For the
purposes of OSHA's NRTL Program, these organizations test and certify
specific products used in the workplace 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 NRTL 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, December 2, 1999
("Directive"). Recognition is an acknowledgement by OSHA that the
NRTL has the capabilities to 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 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, calibration
programs, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, for OSHA to consider a test standard appropriate, the
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. OSHA's Rationale for Deleting Specific Test Standards From, and
Incorporating Replacement Test Standards Into, NRTLs' Scopes of
Recognition
In its June 26, 2013, Federal Register notice, OSHA provided
several reasons for proposing to delete specific test standards from
the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs, and incorporate replacement
test standards into the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs. OSHA
restates these reasons below.
A. Deleting Withdrawn Test Standards From, and Incorporating
Replacement Test Standards Into, NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition
In the June 26, 2013, Federal Register notice, OSHA proposed to
delete test standards withdrawn by SDOs from the scopes of recognition
of several NRTLs. OSHA also proposed to replace some of the withdrawn
(and deleted) test
standards with comparable test standards.
The NRTL Program regulations require that appropriate test
standards be current (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard withdrawn by
an SDO 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,
OSHA will recognize an NRTL for an appropriate replacement test
standard if the NRTL has the requisite testing and evaluation
capability to perform the replacement test standard.
One method OSHA may use to determine such capability involves an
analysis as to 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.
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. In such
cases (i.e., when a test standard is 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 its technical capability to perform that replacement test
standard.
B. Deleting Inappropriate Test Standards From NRTLs' Scopes of
Recognition
In the June 26, 2013, Federal Register notice, OSHA proposed to
delete specific test standards from the scopes of recognition of
several NRTLs based on a recent internal review in which the 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 outlined in NRTL Program regulations and
policy. OSHA added these test standards to the affected NRTLs' scopes
of recognition before it issued the NRTL Program Directive; the
Directive clarified the meaning of "appropriate test standard." After
issuing the Directive, OSHA deleted some test standards from NRTLs'
scopes of recognition because those test standards were not appropriate
test standards (see 70 FR 11273, March 8, 2005). After further review
of the entire list of test standards included under the NRTL Program,
OSHA determined that it should delete additional test standards from
NRTLs' scopes of recognition. In all cases, these deletions are
programmatic corrections only, and do not reflect OSHA's view of the
technical merits of the test standards. In addition, deleting these
documents from the NRTLs' scopes of recognition does not prevent
testing organizations (including NRTLs) from using the deleted
documents for their testing activities.
The NRTL Program staff identified four issues that would disqualify
a test standard from being appropriate for the NRTL Program. First, the
test standard provides the methodology for a test, and not the
standards for testing. In such cases, the documentation for the test
standard describes 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 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 a specific product meets certain safety requirements, a
test method is not itself a safety requirement for that 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 test standards are not appropriate because they
cover products for which OSHA does not require testing and
certification (Directive, App. D.IV.A). While OSHA initially recognized
these test standards for use in the NRTL Program and many of these test
standards specifically address safety testing, they do not address
safety testing relevant to any OSHA standard that requires testing and
certification under the NRTL Program. As such, OSHA proposed to remove
these test standards from the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test
standards.
Finally, several of the test standards cover electrical-product
components, such as transformers, resistors, and capacitors used in
television-type appliances. These test standards 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 test standards covering such components are not appropriate
test standards under the NRTL Program. OSHA notes, however, that it did
not propose to delete from NRTLs' scopes of recognition any test
standards covering end-use products that contain such components.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 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 did not propose 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 proposed to delete in the June 26, 2013,
Federal Register 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 that the NRTL appropriately addresses the
product's components.
III. Summary and Analysis of Comments
OSHA provided 30 days for the public to submit comments on the
proposed scope modification, and the comment period ended on July 26,
2013 (78 FR 38389, June 26, 2013). OSHA sought the following input on
whether the actions OSHA proposed in the tables were appropriate:
1. OSHA sought comment on whether its proposed deletions and
incorporations were appropriate, and whether it omitted any appropriate
replacement test standard that is comparable to a withdrawn test
standard.
2. In addition, the test standards OSHA proposed to delete included
only
withdrawn or otherwise inappropriate standards of which OSHA became
aware on or before May 1, 2013. OSHA sought input on whether individual
NRTLs' scopes of recognition contain any additional withdrawn or
otherwise inappropriate test standards.
OSHA received two comments--one from the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA), a currently recognized NRTL, and one from the
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), a trade
association. Both comments are available for viewing at
http://www.regulations.gov under docket number OSHA-2013-0012. The remainder
of this section discusses, and responds to, these comments.
A. Component Test Standards
Both CSA and NEMA voiced concern about the effect of OSHA's
proposed deletion of component test standards from NRTLs' scopes of
recognition. CSA agreed that "[t]he withdrawal of component standards
does not affect our certification or testing," but asked how OSHA
planned on "addressing component acceptance issues" if "clients or
external bodies ask for [proof] of accreditation." Similarly, NEMA
wanted assurance that "NRTLs [will] continue to support [client data
acceptance programs] even if the test standard is not appropriate under
the NRTL Program." These concerns do not address OSHA's preliminary
determination that test standards that apply only to components and not
to end-use products are not appropriate test standards under the NRTL
Program. Whether NRTLs choose to continue to support client data-
acceptance programs that are outside the scope of the NRTL Program is a
matter for NRTLs and their clients to negotiate. However, OSHA
reiterates 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 proposed to delete in June 26, 2013, Federal Register
notice. In making this determination, NRTLs may test the components
themselves, or accept the testing and certification of a qualified
testing organization that a given component conforms to its particular
test standard. OSHA will continue to review each NRTL's procedures to
determine which approach the NRTL will use to address components, and
will review the end-use product testing to verify that the NRTL
appropriately addressed that product's components.
CSA also raised specific concern with the removal of UL 207, the
Standard for Nonelectrical Refrigerant Containing Components and
Accessories. CSA stated that while they agree that UL 207 "covers
refrigerant containing components that are used as components within
end use products," the test standard also covers "components that are
added by themselves in an installation (adding a filter-drier into an
air-conditioning installation, for example)." After reviewing UL 207,
OSHA now concludes that UL 207 does not cover components that are not
appropriate for use as end-use products. OSHA agrees with CSA that
products tested to UL 207 may be added by themselves in an
installation. However, OSHA points out that UL 207 covers products for
which OSHA does not require testing and certification. As outlined in
Section II. B. above, test standards are not appropriate when they
cover products for which OSHA does not require testing and
certification (Directive, App. D.IV.A).
B. Inclusion of Additional Test Standards
CSA commented that UL 60601-1, one of the replacement test
standards proposed by OSHA, "by itself is insufficient to cover X-
rays," and asked whether OSHA would incorporate into its list of
appropriate test standards the third edition of ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1,
which adopted some of the standards necessary to sufficiently cover X-
rays. NEMA had a similar comment, but noted that the third edition of
the ANSI/AAMI standard was not a comparable replacement test standard;
NEMA asked OSHA to publish a separate Federal Register notice
addressing the issue of incorporating the third edition of the ANSI/
AAMI standard.
UL, the SDO responsible for UL 187, withdrew the test standard and
determined that UL 60601-1 is the appropriate replacement test
standard. While OSHA believes ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 may also be an
appropriate test standard, OSHA finds that ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 differs
significantly from UL 187 and UL 60601-1, the standard designated to
replace UL 187. Accordingly, in this Federal Register notice, OSHA only
incorporates comparable replacement test standards into its list of
appropriate test standards and into NRTLs' scopes of recognition.
Pursuant to OSHA's existing policy, it incorporates new test standards
into its list of appropriate test standards and into NRTLs' scopes of
recognition only when it (1) processes an NRTL's application for
recognition (either initial or expansion), or (2) incorporates into the
scope of recognition of an NRTL a comparable replacement test standard
for a withdrawn test standard (Directive, Ch. 2 and App. C.XIV.B), as
it is doing through this Federal Register notice. OSHA may publish
later a separate Federal Register notice proposing to incorporate ANSI/
AAMI ES60601-1 into its list of appropriate test standards and into
affected NRTLs' scopes of recognition.
CSA also asked OSHA to consider the following test standards,
specific to x-ray equipment, as replacement test standards: ISO/IEC
60601-1-3, 60601-2-8, 60601-2-28, 60601-32, 60601-2-43, 60601-2-44,
60601-2-45, and 60601-2-54. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.7(c)(1), an
appropriate test standard must be "[r]ecognized in the United States
as a safety standard providing an adequate level of safety." None of
these test standards have been so recognized in the United States.
Should any or all these test standards become so recognized in the
United States, OSHA may publish a Federal Register notice proposing to
incorporate one or more of the test standards into its list of
appropriate test standards and into NRTLs' scopes of recognition (as
appropriate).
NEMA also asked OSHA to publish a separate Federal Register notice
addressing the issue of incorporating the IEC 60079, 61241, and 61779
series of safety standards. OSHA may publish a Federal Register notice
proposing to incorporate the IEC 60079 and 61241 series of standards
into its list of appropriate test standards. OSHA also will act on the
pending applications for expansion referenced by NEMA. OSHA notes,
however, that it will not consider incorporating the 61779 series of
safety standards into NRTLs' scopes of recognition because this series
of standards include performance requirements only, and not safety
requirements for specific equipment. While the 61779 series of test
standards may address some safety concerns, they do not focus on
product-specific safety requirements. Instead, they focus on the
performance and accuracy that relate specifically to the operations of
the product. As such, these performance standards are not appropriate
test standards under the requirements of the NRTL Program found in 29
CFR 1910.7.
IV. Deleting Specific Test Standards From, and Incorporating
Replacement Test Standards Into, NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition--Final
Decision
Table 1 lists the test standards that OSHA is deleting from the
NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards. Table 1 also
provides an abbreviated rationale for OSHA's
actions, and lists the corresponding replacement test standards that
OSHA incorporates into the NRTLs' scopes of recognition (when
applicable). In most cases, OSHA already incorporated the replacement
test standards into the affected NRTLs' scopes of recognition. OSHA
takes one of the following actions with respect to the remaining cases:
1. OSHA incorporates, for all affected NRTLs, comparable test
standards that SDOs adopted to replace the withdrawn (and deleted) test
standards; or
2. OSHA incorporates, for all affected NRTLs, appropriate test
standards that OSHA concludes are comparable to the withdrawn (and
deleted) test standards.
Table 1 lists the subject test standards and the action OSHA is
taking with regard to each of these test standards, but does not
indicate how these actions affect individual NRTLs' scopes of
recognition. Section V of this notice lists the modifications OSHA is
making to each individual NRTL's scope of recognition as a result of
these actions.

Note 1: OSHA believes the replacement test standard is
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Therefore, OSHA is
incorporating 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 action is not necessary for those NRTLs with scopes
of recognition that already include the replacement test standard.
V. Modification to NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition--Final Determination
The tables in this section (Table 2 thru Table 13) list, for each
affected NRTL, the test standard(s) that OSHA is deleting from the
scope of recognition of the NRTL and, when applicable, the comparable
replacement test standard(s) that OSHA incorporates into the scope of
recognition of that NRTL to replace withdrawn (and deleted) test
standards.
OSHA will incorporate into its informational Web pages the
modifications OSHA is making 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 is incorporating 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 is making the following revisions to the scopes of recognition
of individual NRTLs:
