Title: Independent Laboratory Testing | |
Abstract: This rulemaking will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or duplication, and streamline requirements. Our current regulations set out approval requirements for MSHA testing and evaluation for approval of certain products used in gassy underground mines. The rule as proposed would allow us to accept testing and evaluation of certain mine equipment by independent laboratories; and approve products which satisfy alternative testing and evaluation requirements if those requirements are equivalent to ours, or could be enhanced to be equivalent. We are considering reproposing the rule to assure that the proposed changes are appropriate. | |
