SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Decision

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby gives notice of the renewal of recognition of Intertek Testing Services, NA, Inc. (ITSNA), as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). ITSNA's renewal covers its existing scope of recognition, which may be found in OSHA's informational web page for the NRTL (http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/its.html). We maintain such a web page for each NRTL.

OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization has met the legal requirements in Sec. 1910.7 of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety testing and certification of the specific products covered within its scope of recognition and is not a delegation or grant of government authority. As a result of recognition, OSHA can accept products "properly certified" by the NRTL.

The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial recognition or for expansions or renewal of this recognition following requirements in Appendix A to 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 and, in the second notice, the Agency provides its final decision on an application. These notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or modifications of this scope.

The renewal covered by this current notice applies only to the administrative, testing, and certification facilities that are part of the ITSNA organization and operations as an NRTL. No part of the recognition applies to any other part of ITSNA, or to any other legal entity, subsidiary, facility, operation, unit, division, or department of Intertek Testing Services Ltd. (ITSLtd), which encompasses ITSNA. The term "ITSNA" also represents the NRTL's predecessors, "ETL" and/or "InchcapeNA," as appropriate.

When first recognized as an NRTL, the organization's name was ETL Testing Laboratories, Inc. (ETL). According to the preliminary Federal Register notice for the recognition (54 FR 8411, 2/28/89), ETL was part of Inchcape Inspection and Testing Services, U.S.A., Inc. (IITS), based in New York. IITS was in turn owned by Inchcape plc, based in the United Kingdom. As explained in the preliminary notice (referenced below), ITSNA is currently owned by Intertek Testing Services Ltd. (ITSLtd), which is also based in the United Kingdom.

In the Federal Register notice of the preliminary finding, we provided an abstract of name and other changes pertaining to the ITSNA recognition. However, for brevity, we do not repeat it in this current notice. You should refer to this preliminary notice (referenced above) if you are interested in reviewing this information.

OSHA published the required notice of its preliminary findings on the renewal in the Federal Register (see 63 FR 69676, 12/17/98). However, this notice also covered applications submitted by ITSNA for expansion of its recognition, which we have granted separately, as further explained below. The December 1998 notice included a preliminary finding that ITSNA could meet the requirements in 29 CFR 1910.7 for renewal and expansion of its recognition, subject to certain conditions, and invited public comment on the applications by February 16, 1999. OSHA received no comments concerning this notice.

Regarding the renewal, ITSNA, as ETL, received its recognition as an NRTL on September 13, 1989 (see 54 FR 37845), for a period of five years ending September 13, 1994. Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7 stipulates that the period of recognition of an NRTL is five years and that an NRTL may renew its recognition by applying not less than nine months, nor more than one year, before the expiration date of its current recognition. ETL requested renewal of its recognition on September 29, 1993 (see Exhibit 30A), within the time allotted, and ITSNA has retained its recognition pending OSHA's final decision in this renewal process.

OSHA had temporarily withheld its consideration of the renewal and the expansion requests pending resolution by the NRTL of discrepancies noted at its facilities during OSHA audits. Staff of the OSHA NRTL Program accepted resolution of the discrepancies in December 1996, permitting OSHA to resume processing all the requests it had received from ITSNA.

After publication of the December 1998 preliminary notice, the Agency delayed publication of the final notice for the renewal and expansion pending resolution of certain requests made by ITSNA. In April 2000, ITSNA submitted information pertinent to its requests that permitted OSHA to proceed with a final notice for the expansion applications (65 FR 71122, 11/29/00). However, the information required further review to render a decision on the renewal. The Agency has now completed this review and has determined that it can grant the renewal.

For purposes of processing the renewal and expansion requests, OSHA performed a number of on-site reviews (evaluation) of ITSNA facilities. ITSNA has addressed any discrepancies noted by the assessors following the review, and the assessors recommended renewal of ITSNA's recognition (see Exhibits 31A-31E).

The following is a chronology of the other Federal Register notices published by OSHA concerning ITSNA's recognition, all of which involved an expansion of recognition: A request announced on October 26, 1990 (55 FR 43229) and granted on December 18, 1990 (55 FR 51971; see correction, 56 FR 2953 1/25/91); a request announced on November 18, 1992 (57 FR 54422) and granted on July 13, 1993 (58 FR 37749; see correction, 58 FR 47001, 9/3/93); a request announced on August 9, 1996 (61 FR 41659) and granted on November 20, 1996 (61 FR 59111; see correction, 63 FR 1126, 1/8/98); and a request announced on August 8, 1997 (62 FR 42829) and granted on December 1, 1997 (62 FR 63562).

You may obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to the application by contacting the Docket Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room N2625, Washington, DC 20210. You should refer to Docket No. NRTL-1-89, the permanent record of public information on the ITSNA recognition.

* A different address or different name appeared in the notice of preliminary finding.

Programs and Procedures

The renewal of recognition includes ITSNA's continued use of the following supplemental programs, based upon the criteria detailed in the March 9, 1995 Federal Register notice (60 FR 12980, 3/9/95). This notice lists nine (9) programs and procedures (collectively, programs), eight of which an NRTL may use to control and audit, but not actually to generate, the data relied upon for product certification. An NRTL's initial recognition will always include the first or basic program, which requires that all product testing and evaluation be performed in- house by the NRTL that will certify the product. OSHA previously granted ITSNA recognition to use these programs, which are listed, as shown below, in OSHA's informational web page on the ITSNA recognition (http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/its.html).

Program 2: Acceptance of testing data from independent organizations, other than NRTLs.

Program 3: Acceptance of product evaluations from independent organizations, other than NRTLs.

Program 4: Acceptance of witnessed testing data.

Program 5: Acceptance of testing data from non-independent organizations.

Program 6: Acceptance of evaluation data from non-independent organizations (requiring NRTL review prior to marketing).

Program 8: Acceptance of product evaluations from organizations that function as part of the International Electrotechnical Commission Certification Body (IEC-CB) Scheme.

Program 9: Acceptance of services other than testing or evaluation performed by subcontractors or agents.

OSHA developed these programs to limit how an NRTL may perform certain aspects of its work and to permit the activities covered under a program only when the NRTL meets certain criteria. In this sense, they are special conditions that the Agency places on an NRTL's recognition. OSHA does not consider these programs in determining whether an NRTL meets the requirements for recognition under 29 CFR 1910.7.

However, these programs help to define the scope of that recognition.

Additional Condition

This notice also contains a condition that OSHA currently requires ITSNA to meet in order to be recognized as an NRTL. This condition, listed first under Conditions below, applies in addition to the other conditions below that OSHA normally imposes in its recognition of an organization as an NRTL. As explained in the final notice for the expansion (65 FR 71122, 11/29/00) and in the preliminary notice (63 FR 69682, 12/17/98), ITSNA currently owns Compliance Design, a manufacturer of laboratory test equipment. If ITSNA were to certify the types of products manufactured or sold by Compliance Design or by an entity owned or controlled by ITSLtd, ITSNA's parent company, ITSNA would no longer meet the requirement in 29 CFR 1910.7 for complete independence. OSHA imposed the special condition on ITSNA's recognition to mitigate or eliminate situations that will cause it to fail to meet the independence requirement. If ITSNA or its owner were to develop material interests that might have an undue influence on ITSNA's NRTL operations, OSHA would need to reevaluate ITSNA's recognition. OSHA would then provide ITSNA with an opportunity to take corrective action. If ITSNA did not adequately resolve the problem, OSHA would begin the process to revoke its recognition as an NRTL.

Final Decision and Order

The NRTL Program staff has examined the applications, the assessor's reports, and other pertinent information. Based upon this examination and the assessor's recommendation, OSHA finds that Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc., has met the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for renewal of its NRTL recognition. The renewal applies to the sites listed above. In addition, it covers the test standards listed below, and it is subject to the limitations and conditions, also listed below. Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby renews the recognition of ITSNA, subject to these limitations and conditions.

Limitations

Renewal of Recognition of Facilities

OSHA limits the renewal of recognition of ITSNA to the 12 sites listed above. In addition, similar to other NRTLs that operate multiple sites, the Agency's recognition of any ITSNA testing site is limited to performing testing to the test standards for which OSHA has recognized ITSNA, and for which the site has the proper capability and control programs. ITSNA uses only the "ETL" and "WHI" marks for its NRTL operations. Currently, only ITSNA's Cortland location issues the authorization to use the "ETL" certification mark or certifications. Similarly, only its Vancouver, Antioch (formerly Pittsburg), and Madison sites issues the authorization to use the "WHI" certification mark or certifications. OSHA must review and accept any other ITSNA site before that site authorizes use of either mark for ITSNA's NRTL operations.

Renewal of Recognition of Test Standards

OSHA further limits the renewal of recognition of ITSNA to testing and certification of products to demonstrate conformance to the test standards listed below (see Listing of Test Standards). OSHA has determined that each test standard meets the requirements for an appropriate test standard, within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c). Some of the test standards for which OSHA previously recognized ITSNA were no longer appropriate at the time of preparation of the preliminary notice, primarily because they had been withdrawn by the standards developing organization. As a result, we have excluded these test standards in the listing below. However, under OSHA policy, the NRTL may request recognition for comparable test standards, i.e., other appropriate test standards covering similar type of product testing. Since a number of NRTLs are affected by such withdrawn standards, OSHA will publish a separate notice to make the appropriate substitutions for ITSNA and other NRTLs that were recognized for these standards. The Agency has contacted these NRTLs regarding this matter.

This notice includes all of OSHA's current limitations on ITSNA with regard to the standards listed below. These limitations appear at the end of the list of standards, and standards to which a specific limitation applies are denoted by the use of asterisks. In addition, one limitation pertaining to hazardous location testing is set forth under "Other Limitations," which follows the listing of test standards.

The Agency's recognition of ITSNA, or any other NRTL, for a particular test standard is always limited to equipment or materials (products) for which OSHA standards require third party testing and certification before use in the workplace. An NRTL's scope of recognition excludes any product(s) falling within the scope of the test standard for which OSHA has no such requirements.

*These standards are approved for equipment or materials intended for use in commercial and industrial power system applications. These standards are not approved for equipment or materials intended for use in installations that are excluded from the provisions of Subpart S in 29 CFR 1910, in particular Section 1910.302(b)(2).

**Testing and certification of products under this test standard is limited to the use of these products in Class I locations. See also "Other limitations" below.

Note: Testing and certification of gas operated equipment is limited to equipment for use with "liquefied petroleum gas" ("LPG" or "LP-Gas").

The designations and titles of the above test standards were current at the time of the preparation of the notice of the preliminary finding.

Many of the test standards listed above are approved as American National Standards by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). However, for convenience in compiling the list, we show the designation of the standards developing organization (e.g., UL 1950) for the standard, as opposed to the ANSI designation (e.g., ANSI/UL 1950). Under our procedures, an NRTL recognized for an ANSI-approved test standard may use either the latest proprietary version of the test standard or the latest ANSI version of that standard, regardless of whether it is currently recognized for the proprietary or ANSI version. Contact ANSI or the ANSI web site to find out whether or not a standard is currently ANSI-approved.

Other Limitations

ITSNA may perform safety testing for hazardous location products only at the specific ITSNA sites that OSHA has recognized and that have been pre-qualified by the ITSNA Chief Engineer. In addition, all safety test reports for hazardous location products must undergo a documented review and approval at the Cortland testing facility by a test engineer qualified in hazardous location safety testing prior to ITSNA's initial or continued authorization of the certifications covered by these reports. The above limitations apply solely to ITSNA's operations as an NRTL.

Conditions

ITSNA must also abide by the following conditions of the recognition, in addition to those already required by 29 CFR 1910.7:

ITSNA may not test and certify any products for a manufacturer or vendor that is either owned in excess of 2% by ITSLtd, or affiliated organizationally with ITSNA, including Compliance Design;

OSHA must be allowed access to ITSNA's facility and records for purposes of ascertaining continuing compliance with the terms of its recognition and to investigate as OSHA deems necessary;

If ITSNA has reason to doubt the efficacy of any test standard it is using under this program, it must promptly inform the test standard developing organization of this fact and provide that organization with appropriate relevant information upon which its concerns are based;

ITSNA must not engage in or permit others to engage in any misrepresentation of the scope or conditions of its recognition. As part of this condition, ITSNA agrees that it will allow no representation that it is either a recognized or an accredited Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) without clearly indicating the specific equipment or material to which this recognition is tied, or that its recognition is limited to certain products;

ITSNA must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major changes in its operations as an NRTL, including details;

ITSNA will meet all the terms of its recognition and will always comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and

ITSNA will continue to meet the requirements for recognition in all areas where it has been recognized.

Signed at Washington, DC this 22nd day of May, 2001.

R. Davis Layne,
Acting Assistant Secretary.
