SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Voluntary Termination of Recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory

On July 20, 2001, OSHA granted TÜV SÜD 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, TÜV
SÜD 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.
