SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of 
recognition of SGS North America, Inc. (SGS), as an NRTL. SGS's 
expansion covers the addition of three (3) recognized testing and 
certification sites and thirty-nine (39) recognized testing standards 
to its NRTL scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets 
the requirements in Section 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, employers may use products properly approved by the NRTL 
to meet OSHA standards that require testing and certification.
    The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial 
recognition, or for expansion 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 the application. 
These notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or 
modifications of that scope. OSHA maintains an informational Web page 
for each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages are 
available from the Agency's Web site at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    SGS submitted four applications, two dated September 24, 2014 
(OSHA-2006-0040-0025), and two dated October 1, 2014 (OSHA-2006-0040-
0026 and OSHA-2006-0040-0028), to expand its recognition to include the 
addition of three recognized testing and certification sites located 
at: SGS Tecnos S.A., C/. Trespaderne 29, Edificio Barajas 1, 28042 
Madrid--Spain; SGS Fimko, Ltd., Sarkiniementie 3, FI-00210 Helsinki, 
Finland; and SGS Baseefa Limited, Rockhead Business Park, Staden Lane, 
Buxton SK17 9RZ, United Kingdom. Amendments to the October 1, 2014, 
applications were received on January 14, 2015 (OSHA-2006-0040-0027), 
and June 16, 2016 (OSHA-2006-0040-0029). These applications 
additionally requested the addition of forty-nine (49) additional test 
standards to SGS's scope of recognition, in addition to the three 
testing and certification sites. OSHA staff performed a detailed 
analysis of the application and other pertinent information. OSHA staff 
also performed on-site reviews of SGS's testing and certification 
facilities on August 5, 2015, at SGS Madrid; on August 13, 2015, at SGS 
Baseefa; and on August 17, 2015, at SGS Fimko and recommended expansion 
of SGS's recognition to include these three (3) testing sites and 39 of 
the 49 requested test standards.

[[Page 67002]]

    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing SGS's expansion 
applications in the Federal Register on July 21, 2016 (81 FR 47438). 
The Agency requested comments by August 5, 2016, but it received no 
comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this 
final notice to grant expansion of SGS's scope of recognition to 
include these three recognized testing sites and thirty-nine (39) of 
the forty-nine (49) requested testing standards.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to 
the SGS's application, go to www.regulations.gov or contact the Docket 
Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department 
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Room N-2625, Washington, DC 
20210. Docket No. OSHA-2006-0040 contains all materials in the record 
concerning SGS's recognition.

II. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA staff examined SGS's expansion applications, conducted 
detailed on-site assessments, and examined other pertinent information. 
Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that SGS meets the 
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, subject 
to the limitations and conditions listed below.
    OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant this 
expansion to SGS's scope of recognition to include three additional 
test sites. OSHA limits the expansion of SGS's recognition to include 
the sites at SGS Madrid, Madrid, Spain; SGS Fimko, Helsinki, Finland; 
and SGS Baseefa, Buxton, United Kingdom as listed above. OSHA's 
recognition of these sites limits SGS to performing product testing and 
certifications only to the test standards for which the site has the 
proper capability and programs, and for test standards in SGS's scope 
of recognition. This limitation is consistent with the recognition that 
OSHA grants to other NRTLs that operate multiple sites.
    Additionally, OSHA is proceeding with this final notice to grant 
SGS's scope to recognition to include thirty-nine additional test 
standards to its scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of 
SGS's recognition to testing and certification of products for 
demonstration of conformance to the test standards listed in Table 1 
below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is 
limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require 
third-party testing and certification before using them in the 
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products 
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, an 
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include these products.

[[Page 67003]]

    The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the 
test standards listed above as American National Standards. However, 
for convenience, we may use the designation of the standards-developing 
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under 
the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3, Appendix C, 
paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test standard may 
use either the proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI 
version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test 
standard is currently ANSI-approved.

A. Conditions

    In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, 
SGS also must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
    1. SGS must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any 
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major 
change in its operations as an NRTL, and provide details of the 
change(s);
    2. SGS must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with 
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. SGS must continue to meet the requirements for recognition, 
including all previously published conditions on SGS's scope of 
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
    Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the 
recognition of SGS, subject to the limitations and conditions specified 
above.
