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
[top] 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 A test standard withdrawn by a standards development organization is no longer considered an appropriate test standard (CPL 01-00-004, NRTL Program Policies, Procedures and Guidelines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
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
Footnotes:
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
[top] 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
