    Background
    
        When OSHA published its standard for NRTLs at 29 CFR 1910.7, it 
    temporarily recognized Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated (UL) and 
    Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC). Both organizations had 
    already been referenced by the Occupational Safety and Health 
    Administration (OSHA) as acceptable organizations for testing or 
    certifying certain workplace equipment and materials. Appendix A of 
    section 1910.7 stated, in part, that Underwriters Laboratories 
    Incorporated was recognized temporarily as a nationally recognized 
    testing laboratory by the Assistant Secretary for a five-year period 
    from June 13, 1988 through June 13, 1993. At the end of this five-year 
    period UL was required to apply for renewal of that OSHA recognition 
    utilizing certain specified procedures. UL has applied for renewal of 
    its recognition as an NRTL within the specified time frame (application 
    dated September 30, 1993) and retains temporary recognition pending 
    OSHA's final decision in this renewal process.
    
    Application
    
        According to the applicant, Underwriters Laboratories Inc., is an 
    independent, not-for-profit product safety certification organization, 
    which was founded in 1894. UL has requested accreditation for its five 
    major domestic certification locations, including its newest facility 
    at Camas, Washington, and two overseas subsidiaries.
        Regarding the merits of the application, the applicant contends 
    that it meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for renewal of its 
    recognition to certify products in the areas of testing which it has 
    specified.
        Underwriters Laboratories Inc. states that its application 
    demonstrates that for each specified item of equipment or material to 
    be certified, it has the capability (including proper testing equipment 
    and facilities, trained staff, written testing procedures, quality 
    control and calibration programs) to perform testing and examination of 
    equipment and materials for workplace safety purposes to determine 
    conformance with appropriate product test standards.
        It also claims that it supplies, to the extent needed for the 
    particular equipment or materials listed, labeled or accepted, the 
    following control or services: Implementation of control procedures for 
    identifying UL Certified equipment or materials; inspection of the run 
    of production of such items at factories; and conducting of field 
    inspections.
        UL states, further, that it is completely independent of employers 
    subject to the tested equipment requirements and of any manufacturers 
    or vendors of equipment or materials being tested for these purposes.
        The applicant maintains that it has effective procedures for 
    reports that are objective and without bias; and for handling 
    complaints and disputes under a fair and reasonable system.
        In summary, UL claims that it has the experience, expertise, 
    personnel, organization, equipment, and facilities suitable for renewal 
    of its accreditation as an OSHA Nationally Recognized Testing 
    Laboratory.
        UL's application (Exhibit 2A) consisted of the following segments 
    which, it states, demonstrate the above claims:
        Section 1--Introduction, purpose and format; Section 2--Scope and 
    Application, standards sought for recognition; Section 3--
    Organizational Data, applicant's background, history, ownership, 
    testing locations and external organizations used for technical 
    support; Section 4--Affiliation, statement of independence; Section 5--

    Facilities
    
        Underwriters Laboratories Inc. has five main test facilities 
    located in the United States, and two subsidiary laboratories in Asia. 
    They are located in Northbrook, IL; Melville, NY; Santa Clara, CA; 
    Research Triangle Park, NC; Camas, WA; Taipei, Taiwan; and, Hong Kong.
        The Northbrook, Illinois facility contains the corporate 
    headquarters and is the center for developing and distributing 
    documents for the organization. It consists of three separate testing 
    complexes, the largest of which contains the headquarters offices and 
    the majority of the testing laboratories. Contained within this complex 
    are the Standards Division, Follow-Up Services Division, Legal, 
    Engineering Services Division, Administrative Division, Accounting, and 
    External Affairs Division. Roughly 36 percent of the approximately 1700 
    employees comprise the technical staff at Northbrook.
        All hazardous location testing is conducted at Northbrook. This 
    facility, as do each of the others, performs testing and follow-up 
    services for certain of UL's client base. Normally, each facility's 
    clients are located within their own geographical area.
        Other specifics of the Northbrook facility are contained in the 
    Northbrook Report, Exhibit 2B, under headings pertaining to facilities, 
    test equipment, calibration program, test and evaluation procedures, 
    test reports, records, quality assurance, follow-up listing program, 
    personnel, recognized third party testing, manufacturing site data, 
    outside rental equipment, and third party contract services. In most 
    instances, the procedures at the other four U.S. locations track those 
    found at Northbrook, as do many of the procedures at both the Taiwan 
    and Hong Kong facilities.
        The Melville, New York facility houses the East and West 
    International Inspection Services department that manages the follow-up 
    inspections for products manufactured overseas. Each US based UL 
    facility has an International Inspection Coordinator who functions on 
    behalf of both the East and West International Inspection Services 
    (IIS).
        The IIS is divided into two sections for administrative purposes--
    Eastern and Western. The Eastern section includes inspection centers in 
    Asia, Australasia, Indian subcontinent and Canada. In addition, the 
    Eastern Section coordinates the follow-up and engineering services for 
    China. The Western section includes Mexico, Central and South America, 
    the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and the Near and Middle East.
        UL maintains its own overseas inspection centers in many countries 
    and also contracts out inspections to other inspection services. Many 
    of these contracted inspection services have been in place for over 30 
    years. The services are performed by private inspection companies, by 
    government inspection agencies, or by a quasi-governmental agency 
    similar to our Postal Service.
        The facilities located at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, 
    Santa Clara, California and Camas, Washington utilize procedures 
    essentially similar to those as Northbrook and normally perform testing 
    and follow-up services for clients located within their geographical 
    areas.
        The technical staff at Camas, Washington, the newest facility, is 
    comprised of some 22 employees. The laboratory conducts electrical/
    electronic testing. The equipment not available is purchased or loaned 
    to Camas from other UL offices if required for short-term periods.
        The Hong Kong and Taiwan facilities conduct testing and perform 
    evaluations for clients located in the Far East. However, a client may 
    choose to have the testing and evaluation done at one of the U.S. 
    facilities.
        The Hong Kong facility provides testing support for the UL programs 
    for clients in Hong Kong, China, and Australasia. This office has been 
    open since 1988.
        In the Hong Kong area the testing laboratory and inspection 
    services are housed in the same building. UL staff of the Inspection 
    and Administration Services monitors the China National Import & Export 
    Commodities Inspection Corporation (CCIC) for inspections carried out 
    in China, which are controlled out of the UL Melville office. The staff 
    also performs the inspections in Hong Kong.
        The UL laboratory in Taiwan has been in existence for over 20 
    years, and performs services for clients within its geographical area. 
    The Follow-Up Services Office in Taiwan (the Administration and 
    Inspection Services Office) has been in existence for about 10 years.
        The latest test standards are supplied from the Northbrook Office 
    for both locations.
        Neither facility rents equipments or subcontracts testing. Products 
    that cannot be tested because of the lack of equipment are generally 
    sent to a UL laboratory facility in the United States.
        Senior management personnel are rotated from stateside appointments 
    to positions in both the Hong Kong and the Taiwan offices.
        All official UL records are in English. Some files contain 
    translations and notes that are in other languages. Agreements between 
    clients and the laboratory are in English. The required files for the 
    record system are the same as those required for products that are 
    processed through one of the UL laboratories in the United States.
        Specifics of the on-site investigations for all of the facilities 
    may be found in the On-Site Review Reports (Surveys), Exhibits 2B and 
    2C. Interested persons are invited to review these reports.
        UL also maintains offices in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, 
    Minneapolis, Portland, Norman (OK), and Seattle. Staff at these 
    locations provide engineering services to clients in their geographical 
    area, and report directly to one of the five domestic offices where 
    their work is reviewed.
    
    Internal Controls (Quality Assurance)
    
        The UL Quality Assurance (QA) Program is documented in a number of 
    manuals that address various functions. There is not a single overall 
    document called a QA Manual which alone defines the corporate QA 
    policy. The Engineering Department Manual (EDM) has many of the 
    elements normally associated with a QA Manual and provides general 
    corporate direction. Some of the elements that are addressed are: work 
    definitions, costing guidelines, agreement forms, files, test waiving, 
    follow-up services policy, client-agent relations, products in foreign 
    countries, and confidentiality. This document is presently under 
    revision. A program for continuous quality improvement is in place. The 
    Q-Plus program utilizes an employee team concept for continuous quality 
    improvement.
        The Laboratory Operations Manual (LOM) outlines the laboratory 
    quality program and establishes minimum guidelines for such functions 
    as development of forms, data requirements, equipment maintenance and 
    calibration, report reviewing, auditing, identification of applicable 
    tests, and corrective action procedures. The LOM also establishes 
    policies for test standards, test equipment, qualified personnel, 
    laboratory procedures and documentation, and self-monitoring and self-
    improvement.
        The Follow-Up Services (FUS) Manual provides guidance for field 
    inspectors who monitor product manufacturing under the applicant's FUS 
    Agreement. This Manual provides [[Page 16173]] the day-to-day 
    operational guidance for inspection personnel. Other major departments 
    utilize their own manuals for providing day-to-day direction.
        For the purpose of consistent application of requirements in the 
    standards, a program is in place which provides the controls and 
    flexibility for developing and interpreting standards. Each location 
    has a designated engineer who is responsible for the interpretations 
    for a particular standard. One engineer is the primary designated 
    engineer, and is responsible for the coordination of all other 
    designated engineers as well as insuring the consistency of all 
    interpretations.
        Relative to the NRTL program, the Engineering Department and 
    Laboratory Operations manuals are the main documents in the UL 
    organization. The LOM is considered as corporate policy and its purpose 
    is to provide a framework for procedures and controls to assure that 
    the requisite degrees of accuracy are achieved.
    
    Programs
    
        UL operates a variety of services and organizational programs. Some 
    of the programs have been in effect for decades, and have provided the 
    test and evaluation data for products that have been approved and are 
    still being supplied by manufacturers for introduction into the 
    workplaces of the United States.
        The following programs have been examined and found to be 
    acceptable to OSHA on the basis of the procedures and specific criteria 
    as detailed in 60 FR 12980, March 9, 1995, pertaining to the types of 
    programs and procedures that NRTLs may engage in under the OSHA/NRTL 
    program. See Exhibits 2C and 2C(1), concerning the survey and 
    acceptance of the Camas, Washington facility, dated March 10, 1995, 
    which also review and recommend inclusion of the following programs on 
    the basis of their conformance to the programs described in 60 FR 
    12980, March 9, 1995, ``Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories; 
    Clarification of the Types of Programs and Procedures'' (Exhibit 8).
    
    Basic Program
    
        This program is one in which UL performs all of the necessary 
    product testing and evaluation in-house prior to issuing a 
    certification.
    
    Witnessed Test Data Program
    
        This program involves the use of UL Technical Personnel at a 
    manufacturer's test site to witness testing for products that will be 
    listed by UL. The manufacturer's facilities used for this purpose are 
    qualified by the UL engineering department. The follow-up program is 
    the normal one for that product and manufacturer (Ex. 2B, Santa Clara 
    Report, Section 11).
    
    Client Agent Program (CAP)
    
        This program qualifies intermediaries that interface between UL and 
    the client. This usually involves overseas clients utilizing US based 
    agents. This program qualifies the intermediaries in administrative 
    areas, technical areas, or in a combination of both. An intermediary 
    that is qualified in the technical areas can perform testing on behalf 
    of the client. The Client Agent Program does not prohibit an agent from 
    providing technical advice on modifications to the product in order to 
    meet the requirements of the standard. However, the CAP program is not 
    intended to qualify agents in providing technical advice to clients. 
    Administratively qualified intermediaries provide documentation, 
    drawing, and translation support for the client.
    
    China National Import and Export Commodities Inspection Corporation 
    (CCIC) Inspection Program
    
        The CCIC is a Chinese government organization that is retained by 
    the UL Inspection Services to perform follow-up inspections in China. 
    This inspection program is under the oversight control of UL personnel 
    through the Hong Kong facility, and the International Inspection 
    Services Department (Ex. 2b, Melville Report, Sections 8 & 13).
    
    National Certification Body (NCB)
    
        Underwriters Laboratories is one of five NRTLs that are 
    participants in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 
    Certification Body (CB) Scheme. This is an international program that 
    allows laboratories accredited as Certified Bodies to exchange test 
    reports with each other during the process of certifying products. The 
    IEC has allowed NRTLs to participate in this Scheme because they have 
    been accredited by OSHA. The IEC requires governmental oversight for 
    participants.
    
    Client Test Data Program (CTDP)
    
        This program is the most extensively used and the basic program 
    that involves client participation. This program involves the 
    systematic qualification of the client by reviewing their laboratory, 
    environmental controls, testing instrumentation, electrical power 
    system, the client personnel involved in the program, the access to the 
    latest UL standards, mutual testing, confidence building and the 
    correlation of the testing packages with UL test results. Specific test 
    information is required to be submitted and UL performs verification 
    testing at intervals not known by the participant. There is no change 
    in surveillance conducted by UL's follow-up services. There is an 
    additional review conducted by UL engineering personnel that is 
    conducted at least yearly to assess the participant's continued 
    capability to be in the program. (See Ex. 2B, Research Triangle Park 
    and Santa Clara Reports, Section 11).
    
    Compliance Management and Product Assurance Program (COMPASS)
    
        This program is a voluntary process that allows qualified 
    manufacturers that have successfully utilized the CTDP Program to 
    perform limited self evaluation and testing within specified 
    categories.
        For minor changes to already listed products, the client reviews 
    the changes and performs any needed tests, and continues to use the 
    listing mark. The client submits the documentation to UL for review. If 
    the product does not comply, the manufacturer is required to remove the 
    UL marks. This procedure for handling minor changes was designed to 
    handle the real life situations, such as a purchasing department 
    electing to purchase an alternate switch. Rather than wait for a 
    variation notice to be issued by UL's follow-up services 
    representative, this path serves to keep the client and UL in close 
    contact between inspections. Minor changes are defined as modifications 
    which involve the use of an alternate or optional component in a 
    previously accepted product. An example is the substitution of a 
    comparable switch from a different manufacturer, or the change of 
    horsepower of a motor.
        For major changes or new products the client must submit a sample 
    and all documentation to UL for review. Depending upon the situation, 
    UL may determine that the nature of the change and experience with the 
    client and testing associated are such that additional verification 
    testing is not necessary. In this situation, UL will authorize the use 
    of the listing mark.
        UL may determine that immediate verification testing is not needed. 
    In this situation, the authorization to use the Listing mark is given 
    but verification testing is conducted later. In all cases, verification 
    testing is conducted for new products. In all situations where 
    verification testing is needed, if [[Page 16174]] correlation does not 
    exist, the listing marks must be removed.
        The follow-up program and engineering department audits are the 
    same as with CTDP, and an additional audit of the client's quality 
    system is performed. Both CTDP and COMPASS involve UL making a 
    determination of the compliance of the product with the standard at 
    some point in the process. (See Ex. 2B, Research Triangle Park and 
    Santa Clara Reports, Section 11).
    
    Total Certification Program (TCP)
    
        This program parallels the manufacturer and UL in a combined 
    evaluation of products. This is in contrast to the sequential process 
    that is used under the COMPASS program where the manufacturer tests and 
    evaluates and then submits the information to UL.
        The program involves the testing and evaluation of a product by the 
    manufacturer, and also the manufacturer's determination of compliance 
    with a standard. The manufacturer is subject to continuous involvement 
    with UL throughout the design and production of the product. UL 
    conducts regular audits throughout the process including verification 
    testing. Similar to the COMPASS program, the manufacturer must qualify 
    for this program by demonstrating the ability to test and evaluate a 
    product and it must have a viable quality assurance program, in 
    addition to having the personnel and equipment to provide creditable 
    results. In all cases, it is UL who authorizes the use of the listing 
    mark. The manufacturer is audited four times a year by the UL 
    engineering staff, and twice a year the manufacturer's quality 
    assurance program is reviewed. Follow-up inspectors continue to conduct 
    follow-ups.
    
    Audit Structure
    
        Corporate level audits are performed yearly while site or 
    operational audits are performed semi-annually. Many of the documented 
    audit programs are relatively new and a long term historical record 
    does not exist. UL has an audit schedule listing for 1993 and 1994 that 
    has been followed, and addresses various operating units of the 
    organization.

    Preliminary Finding
    
        Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated addressed all of the 
    criteria which had to be met for recognition as an NRTL in its initial 
    application and in its further correspondence. For example, the 
    applicant submitted a list of its test equipment and instrumentation; a 
    roster of its personnel including resumes of those in key positions and 
    copies of position descriptions; a summary of its listing, labeling, 
    and follow-up services, including examples; a statement of its 
    independence as a testing laboratory; and a discussion of its control 
    programs, including the Q-Plus Program and a copy of its Laboratory 
    Operations Manual; and descriptions of its calibration system, appeals 
    procedure, recordkeeping and operational procedures.
        Nine major areas were examined in depth in carrying out the 
    laboratory surveys: facility; test equipment; calibration program; test 
    and evaluation procedures; test reports; records; quality assurance 
    program; follow-up listing program; and personnel.
        The discrepancies noted by the survey teams in the on-site 
    evaluations [Ex. 2B(1)] were adequately resonded to by the applicant 
    prior to the preparation of the survey report and are included as a 
    integral part of the report.
        With the preparation of the final survey reports of Underwriters 
    Laboratories Incorporated, the survey team was satisfied that the 
    testing facilities appeared to meet the necessary criteria required by 
    the standard, and so noted in the On-Site Review Report (Survey); see 
    Ex. 2B.
        Following a review of the application file, and the on-site survey 
    reports of the Northbrook, Illinois; Melville, New York; Research 
    Triangle Park, North Carolina; Santa Clara, California; Camas, 
    Washington; and the subsidiary Taipei, Taiwan, and Hong Kong 
    facilities, the NRTL Recognition Program staff concluded that the 
    applicant appeared to have met the requirements for renewal of its 
    recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory for the above 
    noted facilities and, therefore, recommended to the Assistant Secretary 
    that the application be preliminarily approved.
        Based upon a review of the completed application file and the 
    recommendations of the staff, the Assistant Secretary has made a 
    preliminary finding that the Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated 
    facilities for which accreditation was requested can meet the 
    requirements for recognition (Camas, WA), or renewal of recognition 
    (all others noted above), as required by 29 CFR 1910.7.
        All interested members of the public are invited to supply detailed 
    reasons and evidence supporting or challenging the sufficiency of the 
    applicant's having met the requirements for renewal of its recognition 
    as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory, as well as Appendix A, 
    of 29 CFR 1910.7. Submission of pertinent written documents and 
    exhibits shall be made no later than May 30, 1995, and must be 
    addressed to the NRTL Recognition Program, Office of Variance 
    Determination, Room N 3653, Occupational Safety and Health 
    Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., 
    Washington, DC 20210. Copies of the UL application, the laboratory 
    survey reports, and all submitted comments, as received, (Docket No. 
    NRTL-4-93, are available for inspection and duplication at the Docket 
    Office, Room N 2634, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 
    U.S. Department of Labor, at the above address.
        The Assistant Secretary's final decision on whether the applicant 
    (Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated) satisfies the requirements for 
    renewal of its recognition as an NRTL will be made on the basis of the 
    entire record including the public submissions an any further 
    proceedings that the Assistant Secretary may consider appropriate in 
    accordance with Appendix A of Section 1910.7.
    
        Signed at Washington, DC this 22nd day of March 1995.
    Joseph A. Dear,
    Assistant Secretary.
