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,

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.
