I. Notice of Voluntary Termination of Recognition as a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory
On July 20, 2001, OSHA granted T[Uuml]V S[Uuml]D Product Services
GmbH (TUVPSG) recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory
(NRTL). On March 5, 2021, OSHA renewed TUVPSG's recognition as a NRTL
for a period of five years until March 5, 2026 (86 FR 12981). The NRTL
Program regulation, 29 CFR 1910.7 App. A, provides that, ``[a]t any
time, a recognized NRTL may voluntarily terminate its recognition,
either in its entirety or with respect to any area covered in its
recognition, by giving written notice to OSHA,'' that ``[t]he written
notice shall state the date as of which the termination is to take
effect, and that [t]he Assistant Secretary shall inform the public of
any voluntary termination by Federal Register notice.''
TUVPSG notified OSHA by letter dated May 22, 2025 (OSHA-2005-0022-
0015) that it would not seek renewal of its NRTL recognition when it
expired on March 5, 2026. This letter constituted a voluntary and
complete termination of TUVPSG's recognition as a NRTL effective March
5, 2026. Additionally, the letter transferred TUVPSG's existing
certifications to another NRTL, T[Uuml]V S[Uuml]D America, Inc.,
effective March 5, 2026.
Therefore, pursuant to the NRTL Program regulation, OSHA is
informing the public that TUVPSG has voluntarily terminated its
recognition, effective March 5, 2026.
II. Authority and Signature
Amanda Laihow, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health, authorized the preparation of this
notice. Accordingly, the agency is issuing this notice pursuant to 29
U.S.C. 657(g)(2), Secretary of Labor's Order No. 7-2025 (90 FR 27878,
June 30, 2025), and 29 CFR 1910.7.
Signed at Washington, DC, on March 26, 2026.
Amanda Laihow,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety
and Health.
