SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Notice of Recognition and Correction
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby
gives notice that the recognition of Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.
(ITS) as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory is expanded to
include the additional specific standards listed below. ITS applied for
an expansion of its recognition as a NRTL for equipment or materials
(standards), pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.7, which was announced on August
9, 1996 (61 FR 41659). No comments were received concerning the request
for expansion. OSHA then granted the expansion of recognition for
additional standards on November 20, 1996 (61 FR 59111). Through no
fault of ITS, four standards were excluded, but should have been
included, in the list of standards recognized. In connection with the
November 20, 1996 expansion, OSHA had determined that ITS has the
necessary personnel and equipment, and meets other criteria and
requirements to perform testing and certification to these four
standards. OSHA is therefore correcting the recognition granted on
November 20, 1996, and recognizes ITS for the additional standards
listed below.
ITS is recognized for the following standards when applicable to
equipment or materials that will be used in environments under OSHA's
jurisdiction. ITS is recognized for testing and certification of
products when tested for compliance with these test standards, which
are appropriate within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c):
UL 8730-1 Electrical Controls for Household and Similar Use; Part 1:
General
UL 8730-2-4 Automatic Electrical Controls for Household and Similar
Use; Part 2: Particular Requirements for Thermal Motor Protectors
for Motor Compressors or Hermetic and Semi-Hermetic Type
UL 8730-2-7 Automatic Electrical Controls for Household and Similar
Use; Part 2:
[[Page 1127]]
Particular Requirements for Timers and Time Switches
UL 8730-2-8 Automatic Electrical Controls for Household and Similar
Use; Part 2: Particular Requirements for Electrically Operated Water
Valves
The recognition of these additional standards is the only
recognition granted in this notice. All other conditions and
requirements of ITS's recognition remain the same.
Since this correction does not fall within the public notice
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7, this is the only notice that OSHA will
publish on this decision. A copy of the ITS application for expansion
of recognition is available for inspection and duplication at the
Docket Office, Room N-2634, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210, (Docket No. NRTL-1-89).
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 23rd day of December, 1997.
Charles N. Jeffress,
Assistant Secretary.
