    Background
    
        The Canadian Standards Association is an independent organization 
    providing integrated services in the fields of standards development 
    and conformity assessment. The Certification and Testing Division 
    provides conformity assessment programs including laboratory testing, 
    certification, inspection and quality management services.
        CSA originated in 1919 as the Canadian Engineering Standards 
    Association (CESA), which was changed in 1944 to the present name. In 
    1940, CSA began to test and certify products.
        CSA's initial application, dated April 20, 1989 (Ex. 2A), was 
    amended by letter dated January 16, 1990 (Ex. 2C) to expand the 
    original request for NRTL recognition to test and certify products from 
    only two standards to more than 360 acceptable test standards. By 
    letter dated December 20, 1991 (Ex. 2M), CSA further amended its 
    application for recognition as follows:
    
    1. The scope of this application relating to certification services is 
    to be limited to in-house testing, and
    2. (a) The initial phase of the recognition is to be limited to the 
    Rexdale (Toronto) facility.
        (b) In parallel with the above, proceed with the assessments of the 
    remaining CSA facilities.
    
        An on-site evaluation of the Rexdale facility was conducted from 
    November 4 through November 8, 1991, and the results discussed with the 
    applicant who responded with appropriate corrective actions and 
    clarifications to recommendations made as a result of the survey.
        A notice of CSA's application together with a positive preliminary 
    finding was published in the Federal Register on June 3, 1992 (57 
    23429-23434), (Ex. 1).
        The notice of CSA's recognition of its Rexdale facility as a 
    nationally recognized testing laboratory was published in the Federal 
    Register on December 24, 1992 (57 FR 61452-61460), (Ex. 6). This 
    recognition was expanded on February 4, 1994 (59 FR 5447).
        On-site evaluations were carried out at the Pointe Claire 
    (Montreal) facility on December 14 and 15, 1992, and at the Richmond 
    (Vancouver) facility on December 16 and 17, 1992. Evaluations of the 
    Moncton, Winnipeg, and Edmonton facilities were based upon response to 
    a questionnaire sent to each facility, supportive documentation, and 
    video tapes of each site depicting the facility, test equipment, 
    typical procedures, files, and staff.
        The final review report and evaluations (Ex. 11) consisting of both 
    on-site and other evaluations of the five facilities listed above, 
    including administrative and technical practices, and the OSHA staff 
    recommendations, were subsequently forwarded to the Assistant Secretary 
    for a preliminary finding on the application. A notice of CSA's 
    application together with a positive preliminary finding were published 
    in the Federal Register on March 3, 1994 (59 FR 10173-10180). 
    Interested parties were invited to submit comments.
        There were no responses to the Federal Register notice of the CSA 
    application and preliminary finding (Docket No. NRTL-2-92).
    
    Canadian Standards Association Overview
    
        The Canadian Standards Association is an organization that has six 
    main test facilities located in Canada. In addition, CSA either 
    maintains test facilities overseas or enters into contract arrangements 
    with foreign laboratories and inspection organizations. CSA is a 
    standards producing organization that is actively working towards 
    harmonizing the Canadian and United States Standards.
    
    Organizational Structure
    
    Facilities
    
        The Rexdale facility houses the headquarters of the Central 
    Operations. The Rexdale Facility contains the corporate headquarters, a 
    Standards Division, Finance and Administration Division, and a 
    Certification and Testing Division. The laboratory, established in 
    1919, has been at this location since 1954. The Central Operations 
    includes the Prairie Region (Winnipeg) and the Central Region 
    (Rexdale). In addition, the explosion testing laboratory in Ottawa, 
    under the Canadian Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, where CSA 
    performs explosion testing, is monitored out of the Central Region.
        The Montreal (Pointe-Claire) facility houses the headquarters of 
    the Eastern Operations. The Eastern Operations includes the following 
    regional operations: Eastern Region (Pointe-Claire), Atlantic Region 
    (Moncton), and European Area (Brussels). The Eastern Region and 
    Atlantic Region maintain testing and inspection facilities for Eastern 
    North America. The European Area maintains a facility in Brussels and 
    includes Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and is not covered by this 
    recognition. Testing in the European Area is contracted to acceptable 
    laboratories in the European community. Certification of products, 
    review of the follow-up, and review of the test results are 
    accomplished by the CSA Brussels Office.
        The Vancouver (Richmond) facility houses the headquarters of the 
    Pacific Rim Operations. The Pacific Rim Operations include the 
    following regional operations: the Pacific Region (Richmond), Western 
    Region (Edmonton), Japan Operations (Tokyo) and the Hong Kong 
    Operations. The Pacific Region and Western Region maintain testing and 
    inspection facilities for Western North America. The Japan and Hong 
    Kong Operations include CSA testing facilities in Japan, Hong Kong, 
    Korea, Taiwan, and either CSA or contracted inspection facilities 
    throughout the Pacific Rim countries, and are not covered by this 
    recognition.
    
    Quality Assurance
    
        The Certification and Testing Division's Engineering and Quality 
    Assurance (EQA) Office reports to the Vice President in charge of the 
    Certification and Testing Division. The Eastern Operations, Central 
    Operations, and the Pacific Operations each has a Quality Assurance 
    Office, and all of the nine Regional (Area) Offices also have Quality 
    Assurance Offices. The Regional Quality Assurance Offices have a 
    reporting relationship with the respective Operations Quality Assurance 
    Office, and with the EQA.
        Each Regional Quality Assurance Office is responsible for the 
    quality assurance at its respective facility. Each Operations Quality 
    Assurance Office is responsible for the respective quality assurance at 
    its operation and all the regions within its operation. The EQA is 
    responsible for the Certification and Testing Division Quality 
    Assurance, including all of the operations and regions.
    
    Document Structure
    
        The Certification & Testing Division's (C&T) Divisional Director of 
    Engineering and Quality Assurance (EQA) establishes the quality 
    assurance philosophy for the three Operations: the Eastern, Central, 
    and Pacific Rim. EQA uses Divisional Quality Documents (DQD) to 
    establish Quality Assurance Procedures; Certification and Testing 
    Division Operating Procedures (CDOP) and Test Packs to provide 
    evaluation procedures for products submitted for testing; Technical 
    Information Letters (TIL) to document technical interpretations of 
    standards; and Engineering Policy Supplements (EPS) to provide 
    policies.
    
    Audit Structure
    
        The CSA audit structure is multilevel. EQA audits the regions, the 
    Operations Quality Assurance Office audits the regions, and each 
    Regional Quality Assurance Office performs self audits. In addition, 
    such outside agencies as the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) perform 
    yearly audits which involve EQA representation during the audit. Thus, 
    the Edmonton and Moncton regions were subjected to at least five audits 
    since July of 1991, and the Winnipeg region to at least four audits. In 
    addition, specific technical audits of each region are performed by the 
    senior technical engineer from the operations office.
    
    Requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7
    
    Capability
    
        Section 1910.7(b)(1) states that for each specified item of 
    equipment or material to be listed, labeled or accepted, the laboratory 
    must have the capability (including proper testing equipment and 
    facilities, trained staff, written testing procedures, and calibration 
    and quality control programs) to perform appropriate testing.
        Based upon the on-site review reports and evaluations and the 
    products and standards in question, CSA's facilities have adequate 
    floor space for testing and evaluation and an adequate number of 
    technical and professional personnel to accomplish the services 
    required for the present workload in the areas of recognition CSA 
    seeks.
        CSA submitted personal resumes and position descriptions for the 
    key C&T Division personnel, which include general accountability, 
    reporting relationships, specific accountabilities, dimensions, and 
    nature and scope. All personnel appear to be suitably educated and 
    trained to carry out their assigned duties.
        Test equipment is available to perform testing in accordance with 
    the standards. Test equipment not available is purchased as required.
        An inventory list identifies the various pieces of equipment by 
    inventory number, instrument name, model and serial number, location in 
    laboratory, range, accuracy, and manufacturer. The calibration lab 
    maintains a separate equipment inventory list. Operational status and 
    calibration information is maintained on instrument history files in 
    the calibration laboratory.
        Manufacturer's instructions on use and maintenance of test 
    equipment are on file in the calibration laboratory. Instruction 
    manuals are available at the appropriate work stations. Test equipment 
    subjected to overloading or mishandling, or giving suspect results, is 
    returned to the calibration laboratory. Defective equipment is retained 
    in the instrumentation repair department. After repairs are completed, 
    the instruments are re-calibrated before release. Tests that have been 
    performed with defective equipment are reevaluated.
        The manager of service quality has responsibility for the operation 
    of the metrology laboratory which includes three full time calibration 
    technologists who report, in turn, to a team coordinator.
        All electrical measuring instrumentation is calibrated once per 
    year at a minimum. Where equipment manufacturer recommended calibration 
    intervals are exceeded, the instrument history records are used to 
    determine any necessary reduced calibration intervals. New and repaired 
    test equipment is calibrated prior to use. Power supplies, although not 
    accurately calibrated, have their output set using calibrated 
    equipment. Dated calibration labels are affixed to the instruments to 
    indicate the calibration status.
        Calibration and repair records are maintained on the metrology 
    laboratory computer database. The data is maintained for the life of 
    the equipment. The metrology laboratory computer database generates 
    monthly recall lists on instruments due for calibration the following 
    month. The team coordinators and quality assurance representatives 
    ensure that the instruments are returned for calibration.
        Calibration standards are traceable to the National Research 
    Council of Canada (NRCC) or to the National Institute of Standards and 
    Technology (NIST).
        Published standards, test procedures, the quality assurance manual, 
    divisional quality documents, and divisional operating procedures all 
    contain construction or testing parameters to be met by the product 
    being evaluated. These documents specify, as required, chronological 
    order of evaluation. Experienced and trained personnel are responsible 
    for conducting various stages of the investigation. The testing 
    personnel are generally technical college graduates.
        At the time of the on-site evaluation, not all requests for testing 
    were documented. A directive has been issued requiring the 
    documentation in the job files of all requests for tests or evaluations 
    that are received from customers.
        The engineering and quality assurance group develops, reviews and 
    maintains the divisional quality documents (procedures). Procedures are 
    reviewed once per year. Senior staff, audits and investigations staff, 
    and engineering and quality assurance representatives are responsible 
    for determining if procedures are followed. Work orders are prepared 
    for the testing staff which specify the standards and clause numbers to 
    be followed.
        A letter is sent to the clients describing the construction or test 
    deficiencies encountered during the course of the evaluation. No 
    approval is granted until all deficiencies have been resolved.
        The shipping/receiving department applies identification labels 
    directly on the test samples to enable identification after they have 
    been removed from shipping cartons. Technicians apply further 
    identification tags, labels or direct markings to differentiate between 
    similar samples or sets of samples.
        Technical policy decisions regarding standards interpretations and 
    deviations are developed by a consensus of technical experts. The 
    laboratory distributes technical letters describing standards policy 
    decisions. The engineering and quality assurance group is responsible 
    for the development and issuance of technical policy decisions.
        The tests procedures contain the following: Instructions on 
    equipment; preparation of test samples; standard testing techniques; 
    references to specific standards including titles and dates; testing 
    equipment and accuracies; precautionary statements for operator safety; 
    test data to be obtained, measurement resolution and data recording 
    time; ambient conditions and adverse environmental conditions; and 
    acceptance criteria during tests.
        Test procedures are reviewed and approved by the engineering and 
    quality assurance group. The procedures are reviewed once per year.
        Test data sheets and attached work order contain the following: 
    standard and clause numbers; product model number; measuring and test 
    instruments; test date and file number, signature of tester and 
    reviewer; ambient conditions; test observations and deviation; test 
    data in the form of compliance, non-compliance, or the need for further 
    review. An Engineering Policy has been issued that requires the 
    documentation of the rationale for the waiving of any tests specified 
    in the applicable standard.
        The Certification and Testing Division maintains a quality 
    assurance (QA) system for CSA's world-wide network. The QA Program of 
    the Testing Laboratory is registered by Quality Management Institute 
    (QMI) to ISO 9003 and Z299.3. The Corporate Engineering and Quality 
    Assurance (EQA) Group has the responsibility and authority for 
    overseeing all activities related to the Quality Program. The object of 
    the QA system is to ensure technical excellence, consistency of 
    interpretation and application of standards, consistency of 
    implementation of certification programs and procedures, the integrity 
    of the CSA Mark, and continuous improvement. In addition, the QA System 
    is designed to meet National and International Accreditation Criteria, 
    and OSHA has determined that it meets its criteria. The QA System is 
    documented as follows:
    
    --``Quality Assurance Policy Manual'' (QAPM). It contains the quality 
    policies for the Certification and Testing Division and establishes the 
    responsibilities for implementation of these policies.
    --``Quality Assurance Manual'' (QAM). These manuals describe in detail 
    the system and procedures outlined in the QAPM. They are issued by each 
    Operation Unit after approval by EQA.
    --``Divisional Quality Documents'' (DQDs). They are issued and 
    controlled by Engineering and Quality Assurance (EQA) and consist of 
    additional operating procedures and guidelines to be used by operations 
    staff.
    
        OSHA is satisfied that the conditions noted above meet the 
    requirements.
    
    Creditable Reports/Complaint Handling
    
        Section 1910.7(b)(4) provides that an OSHA recognized NRTL must 
    maintain effective procedures for producing creditable findings and 
    reports that are objective and without bias. The laboratory, in order 
    to be recognized, must also maintain effective procedures for handling 
    complaints under a fair and reasonable system.
        The Canadian Standards Association maintains effective procedures 
    for producing creditable findings or reports that are objective and 
    without bias as demonstrated by its application as well as the on-site 
    review report.
        CSA has in force an appeals procedure, designed primarily for their 
    clients, which consists of a comprehensive system for handling 
    complaints and ultimately providing an unbiased review of any 
    controversial matter. All complaints and disputes are resolved, 
    whenever possible, by those directly involved with the work contested 
    or at the level of authority appropriate for the nature of the 
    complaint/dispute. If the issue cannot be resolved, there are specific 
    steps, including appeals, which may be followed.
        There is also a system in effect enabling any interested party to 
    file complaints concerning certification related matters, manufacturing 
    related matters, or test standards discrepancies. Upon receipt of a 
    complaint from a concerned party, the appropriate CSA section would 
    take the matter under advisement to determine what corrective action 
    should be taken. All complaints are investigated to determine if and 
    what corrective action may be necessary.
        CSA routinely investigates incidents involving CSA marked products. 
    This is done with the help of regulatory and law enforcement 
    authorities, consumers and manufacturers. The investigations are 
    performed by the Special Support Services group. Their mandate is to 
    protect the integrity of the Registered CSA Mark. The Special Support 
    Services group investigates fires, examines products, does research, 
    conducts fact finding studies, analyzes failures and trends and, when 
    required, presents evidence in court.
        Permanent records are compiled to document all technical and 
    quality related activities of the Certification and Testing Division. 
    The system for controlling all technical and quality records is 
    described in the Quality Assurance Manuals for each CSA Office.
        The certification reports contain the following: name and location 
    of submitter and factory; title, number, and date of standard used for 
    evaluation; file number, report date, edition number and revision date; 
    description of product including drawings, specifications, and 
    photographs; conditions of product use; construction and testing 
    narratives which describe how the product(s) comply with the standard; 
    tests and results of tests; deviations and technical rationale for 
    acceptance.
        The jobholder, or certification engineer, is responsible for the 
    preparation and review of the final report. The test report is written 
    by the technician. The senior technician also is responsible for 
    reviewing and signing the test report before it is reviewed by the 
    certification engineer. Certification reports are revised with 
    replacement pages. A new report is prepared if extensive changes are 
    required. Copies of the certification report are given to the customer, 
    jurisdictional authorities, where required, and are placed in follow-up 
    inspection files and main certification files.
    
    Type of Testing
    
        The standard contemplates that testing done by NRTLs fall into one 
    of two categories: testing to determine conformance with appropriate 
    test standards, or experimental testing where there might not be one 
    specific test standard covering the new product or material. CSA has 
    applied for recognition in the first category. The test standards 
    included in this recognition are the same as those covered in the 
    Rexdale (Toronto) recognition. They were found to be appropriate test 
    standards during that recognition.
    
    Follow-Up Procedures
    
        Section 1910.7(b)(2) requires that the NRTL provide certain follow-
    up procedures to the extent necessary for the particular equipment or 
    material to be listed, labeled, or accepted. These include 
    implementation of control procedures for identifying the listed or 
    labeled equipment or materials, inspecting the production run at 
    factories to assure conformance with test standards, and conducting 
    field inspections to monitor and assure the proper use of the label.
        The applicant provides for the implementation of control procedures 
    for identifying the listed and labeled equipment or materials, 
    inspection of the production run of such items at factories for product 
    evaluation purposes to assure conformance with applicable test 
    standards, and the conducting of field inspections to monitor and to 
    assure the proper use of its identifying mark or labels on products. A 
    submitter must enter into a written contract (service agreement) with 
    CSA to permit the use of the CSA Mark on the product. This agreement 
    clearly specified the submitter's responsibilities and the terms and 
    conditions for maintaining certification, such as the right of access 
    by CSA inspection staff to listed factories, and notifying CSA when 
    changes are made to certified products. These terms and conditions are 
    designed to protect the integrity of the CSA Mark, which is also 
    registered as a certification mark with the U.S. Patent Office.
        CSA established a comprehensive field service program to ensure 
    that manufactured products bearing any CSA Mark continue to meet the 
    applicable requirements. The program consists of three elements:
    
    Follow-up Inspections;
    Re-examination Testing; and
    Field Monitoring.
    
        Follow-up inspections are conducted at the point of manufacturing 
    and labeling to ensure, among other things, that:
    
    --the CSA Mark is applied only to certified products;
    --that the terms of the Agreement are met when the CSA Mark is used;
    --defects noted during previous inspections have been corrected;
    --the manufacturer is aware of any new services and requirements;
    
        The inspections are unannounced and are based on performing a 
    minimum of four inspections per factory per year. The frequency varies 
    with production volumes, the types of product and the manufacturer's 
    track record.
        When products fail to meet the requirements, Field Service 
    Representatives take action to have the manufacturer correct the defect 
    immediately, quarantine the stock until the product can be reworked or 
    re-evaluated by certification staff, and remove the CSA Mark from the 
    product.
        In cases where it is difficult to determine if a product or 
    component complies with the requirements strictly by visual 
    examination, such products are reexamined and tested on a yearly basis.
        CSA has an independent, special investigation unit, the Audits and 
    Investigations Group, to monitor products in the field, investigate 
    field complaints, and provide feedback to the standards writing and 
    certification process.
    
    Independence
    
        Section 1910.7(b)(3) requires that an NRTL be completely 
    independent of employers subject to the tested equipment requirements 
    and of any manufacturer or vendors of equipment or materials being 
    tested. The applicant stated in its application that it is in complete 
    compliance with this requirement.
        The applicant has demonstrated that it is an independent, not-for-
    profit membership association, without share capital, incorporated 
    under the laws of Canada in 1919, engaged in developing national 
    standards and providing a certification service for manufacturers 
    wishing to have their products certified as complying with national 
    standards or standards of foreign countries. The applicant further 
    demonstrated that the organization has no affiliation with 
    manufacturers or suppliers of the products submitted for testing and 
    certification. Several documents were submitted as a part of the CSA 
    application to address the issue of independence.
    
    Test Standards
    
        Section 1910.7 requires that an NRTL use ``appropriate test 
    standards'', which are defined, in part, to include any standard that 
    is currently designated as an ANSI safety designated product standard. 
    As to the non-ANSI UL test standards for which CSA has applied to test 
    products to, OSHA previously had examined the status of the 
    Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) Standards for Safety and, in 
    particular, the method of their development, revision and 
    implementation, and had determined that they are appropriate test 
    standards under the criteria described in 29 CFR 1910.7(c) (1), (2), 
    and (3). (See 54 FR 25643, 25645 (6/16/89), ``Dash, Straus and Goodhue, 
    Inc.; Recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory''. That 
    is, these standards specify the safety requirements for specific 
    equipment or classes of equipment and are recognized in the United 
    States as safety standards providing adequate levels of safety; they 
    are compatible and remain current with periodic revisions of applicable 
    national codes and installation standards; and they are developed by a 
    standards developing organization under a method providing for input 
    and consideration of views of industry groups, experts, users, 
    consumers, governmental authorities, and others having broad experience 
    in the safety fields involved.
        The laboratory subscribes to the ANSI/UL standards updating 
    service. Standards and revisions are distributed to appropriate 
    laboratory personnel. Revised or superseded standards are archived.
        All other aspects of the testing and certification process, 
    including test and evaluation procedures, test reports, records, 
    quality assurance, follow-up listing program, and details concerning 
    personnel, are addressed in the On-Site Review Report (Survey), Ex. 
    10A(2), as follows, and are found to be acceptable:

        The Canadian Standards Association must also abide by the following 
    conditions of its recognition, in addition to those already required by 
    29 CFR 1910.7:
        This recognition applies to the Canadian Standards Association 
    facilities in Canada only. Specifically, CSA's facilities in Pointe-
    Claire (Montreal) Richmond (Vancouver), Edmonton, Moncton, and 
    Winnipeg;
        Products tested or evaluated at other CSA facilities (or 
    independent facilities that may be used by CSA for the purpose of 
    testing equipment) must be re-evaluated by a CSA facility recognized as 
    an NTRL by OSHA (i.e., the recognized CSA facilities will critically 
    review the complete test data package, ensure the data was collected by 
    qualified and independent sources, and physically evaluate the 
    product's components and construction;
        This recognition also does not apply to any aspect of any Canadian 
    Standards Association program which is available only to qualified 
    manufacturers and is based upon the NRTL's evaluation and accreditation 
    of the manufacturer's quality assurance program;
        The Occupational Safety and Health Administration shall be allowed 
    access to CSA's facilities and records for purposes of ascertaining 
    continuing compliance with the terms of its recognition and to 
    investigate as OSHA deems necessary;
        If CSA has reason to doubt the efficacy of any test standard it is 
    using under this program, it shall promptly inform the test standard 
    developing organization of this fact and provide that organization with 
    appropriate relevant information upon which its concerns are based;
        CSA shall not engage in or permit others to engage in any 
    misrepresentation of the scope of conditions of its recognition. As 
    part of this condition, CSA 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;
        CSA shall inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any 
    change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, including details;
        CSA will continue to meet the requirements for recognition in all 
    areas where it has been recognized; and
        CSA will always cooperate with OSHA to assure compliance with the 
    letter as well as the spirit of its recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7.
    
    Effective Date
    
        This recognition will become effective on August 9, 1994 and will 
    be valid for a period of five years from the date of the recognition of 
    the Rexdale (Toronto) facility, that is, until December 24, 1997, 
    unless terminated prior to that date, in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.7.
    Joseph A. Dear,
    Assistant Secretary.
