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. 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 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 (``Directive'').
Recognition is an acknowledgement by OSHA that the NRTL can 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 the 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, and calibration
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the NRTL Program regulations, to be ``appropriate,'' a
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. Modifying Test Standards in NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition
A. Proposed Deletion of Withdrawn Test Standards From, and
Incorporation of Replacement Test Standards Into, the Scopes of
Recognition of Several NRTLs
In this notice, OSHA proposes to delete several withdrawn test
standards from the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs. OSHA also
proposes to incorporate into the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs
test standards to replace some of the withdrawn (and deleted) test
standards.
The NRTL Program regulations require that appropriate test
standards be current (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard withdrawn by a
standards 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
[[Page 38391]]
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 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 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. In making this determination, OSHA also considers the
documents or medium that the NRTL uses to record test and evaluation
data or results, which OSHA commonly calls ``test datasheets,'' to be
part of the NRTL's written testing procedures.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Such datasheets may be electronic records or hardcopies, and
must ensure that the NRTL will capture all necessary test and
evaluation data or results completely and accurately. Additionally,
datasheets may be separate or combined in other documents or
records.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. Furthermore,
if a replacement test standard requires the NRTL to modify its
datasheets substantively, or to develop new datasheets, then the test
standards are also not comparable. In such cases (i.e., when the test
standards are 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
technical capability.
B. Proposed Deletion of Inappropriate Test Standards From the Scopes of
Recognition of Several NRTLs
OSHA proposes to delete several test standards from the scopes of
recognition of several NRTLs based on a recent internal review in which
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 defined in NRTL Program regulations and
policy. First, one of the documents at issue, UL 1666, provides the
methodology for one test only, and is, therefore, 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). Id. 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 an 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.
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 documents are not appropriate test standards
because the documents cover products for which OSHA does not require
testing and certification (Directive, App. D.IV.A). OSHA initially
recognized these documents for use in the NRTL Program under OSHA
standards such as 29 CFR 1910.68. These OSHA standards do not require
testing and certification for the product(s) covered by the documents
OSHA proposes to delete.
Finally, several of the documents cover electrical-product
components, such as transformers, resistors, and capacitors used in
television-type appliances. These documents 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 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.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 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, an NRTL must still determine that the
components in the product comply with these components' specific test
standards, some of which OSHA is proposing to delete in this 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
the NRTL appropriately addresses that product's components.
OSHA added the documents now subject to deletion to affected NRTLs'
scopes of recognition before OSHA issued the NRTL Program Directive.
The Directive clarified the meaning of ``appropriate test standard.''
After issuing the Directive, OSHA deleted some documents from NRTLs'
scopes of recognition because those documents were not appropriate test
standards (see 70 FR 11273, March 8, 2005). After further review of the
entire list of test standards recognized under the NRTL Program, OSHA
determined that it should delete additional documents from NRTLs'
scopes of recognition. In all cases, these deletions would be
programmatic corrections only, and do not reflect OSHA's view of the
technical merits of the documents. In addition, deleting these
documents from the NRTLs' scopes of recognition would not prevent
testing organizations (including NRTLs) from using the deleted
documents for their testing activities.
III. Test Standards OSHA Proposes To Delete and Incorporate
Table 1 lists the test standards that OSHA proposes to delete from
affected NRTLs' scopes of recognition, as well as an abbreviated
rationale for OSHA's proposed actions. For a full discussion of the
rationale, see, above, Sections II.A and II.B of this notice. Table 1
also lists corresponding replacement test standards that OSHA proposes
to incorporate into the NRTLs' scopes of recognition (when applicable).
In most cases, OSHA already incorporated the proposed replacement
test standards into affected NRTLs' scopes of recognition. OSHA
proposes
[[Page 38392]]
one of the following actions with respect to the remaining cases:
1. OSHA proposes to incorporate, for all affected NRTLs, comparable
test standards that SDOs adopted to replace withdrawn (and deleted)
test standards; or
2. OSHA proposes to incorporate, for all affected NRTLs,
appropriate test standards that OSHA concludes are comparable to the
withdrawn (and deleted) test standards.
OSHA notes that it is not proposing to delete UL 664 from the
scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs, even though Underwriters
Laboratories withdrew UL 664. OSHA currently is examining whether it
can incorporate any test standard(s) into the scopes of recognition of
affected NRTLs to replace UL 664. Once OSHA completes this examination,
it will issue a new Federal Register notice addressing the deletion of
UL 664 from the scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs.
OSHA also notes that it is not proposing to delete UL 1004 from the
scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs even though Underwriters
Laboratories withdrew UL 1004, and issued UL 1004-1 as a replacement.
Unlike other replacements shown in this notice, OSHA believes that UL
1004-1 is not comparable to UL 1004. OSHA currently is working on a
separate Federal Register notice that will propose how OSHA plans to
incorporate such test standard(s), and a number of other test
standards, into the scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs. OSHA plans
to publish this notice in the near future.
OSHA notes also 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.

Note 1: OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Therefore, OSHA proposes
to incorporate 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 proposed action is not necessary for those NRTLs
with scopes of recognition that already include the proposed
replacement test standard.
IV. Proposed Modifications to Affected NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition
The tables in this section (Table 2 thru Table 13) list, for each
affected NRTL, the test standard(s) that OSHA proposes to delete from
the scope of recognition of the NRTL and, when applicable, the test
standard(s) that OSHA proposes to incorporate into the scope of
recognition of that NRTL to replace withdrawn (and deleted) test
standards. Notes to the tables make clear whether individual NRTLs must
submit information to demonstrate their capability for each proposed
replacement test standard.
OSHA seeks the following input on whether the actions OSHA proposes
in the tables are appropriate:
1. OSHA seeks comment on whether its proposed deletions and
incorporations 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.
2. In addition, the test standards listed in the tables include
only withdrawn or otherwise inappropriate standards of which OSHA
became aware on or before May 1, 2013. OSHA seeks input on whether
individual NRTLs' scopes of recognition contain any additional
withdrawn or otherwise inappropriate test standards.
OSHA will incorporate into its informational Web pages the
modifications OSHA decides to make 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 incorporates 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 proposes the following revisions to the scopes of recognition
of individual NRTLs:

Note 2: OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Moreover, OSHA already
includes the proposed replacement test standard in the NRTL's scope
of recognition. Therefore, no further demonstration of capability is
necessary at this time.
Note 3: OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Therefore, OSHA proposes
to incorporate the replacement test standard into the NRTLs' scopes
of recognition without requiring the NRTL to further demonstrate
capability, as specified by 29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1).
