Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.: Grant of Expansion of Recognition
In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to expand the scope of recognition for Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA is providing notice of the expansion of the scope of recognition of Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (ITSNA) as a NRTL. ITSNA's expansion covers the addition of one test standard to the NRTL scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets the requirements specified in 
29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety testing and certification of the specific products covered within the scope of recognition. Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes: (1) the type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by the applicable test standard; and (2) the recognized site(s) that has/have the technical capability to perform the product-testing and product-certification activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope. Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority; however, recognition enables employers to use products approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and certification.
The agency processes applications by a NRTL for initial recognition and for an 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 a preliminary finding. In the second notice, the agency provides a 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, including ITSNA, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These pages are available from the OSHA website at
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
ITSNA submitted an application to OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope of recognition on October 11, 2024 (OSHA-2007-0039-0075), requesting the addition of two standards to the NRTL scope of recognition. This application was amended on March 11, 2026 to remove one standard from the original application. (OSHA-2007-0039-0076). OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application packet and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform an on-site review in response to this application. OSHA staff preliminarily determined that OSHA should grant the application for test standard expansion.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing ITSNA's expansion application in the
Federal Register
on May 22, 2026 (91 FR 30328). The agency requested comments by June 8, 2026, however no comments were received in response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding with this expansion of ITSNA's NRTL scope of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to the ITSNA's expansion application, go to
www.regulations.gov
or contact the Docket Office at (202) 693-2350 (TTY (877) 889-5627. Docket No. OSHA-2007-0039 contains all materials in the record containing ITSNA's recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined ITSNA's expansion application and examined other pertinent information. Based on a review of this evidence, OSHA finds that ITSNA meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of recognition, subject to the specified limitations and conditions. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant expansion of ITSNA's scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of ITSNA's recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration of compliance to the test standards listed below in Table 1.

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