brief introduction
CSA, short for the Canadian Standards Association, was founded in 1919 as Canada's first nonprofit organization dedicated to setting industrial Standards.In 2001, CSA was divided into three associations: Canadian standards association, management system certification and International certification association. CSA International was responsible for International certification. Its headquarters was in Toronto.We also have branches in USA, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, etc.Electronics, appliances and other products sold in the north American market are required to obtain safety certification.CSA is the largest safety certification body in Canada and one of the most famous safety certification bodies in the world.It can provide safety certification for all types of products in machinery, building materials, electrical appliances, computer equipment, office equipment, environmental protection, Yliao fire safety, sports and entertainment.CSA has provided certification services to thousands of manufacturers around the world, and hundreds of millions of products with the CSA logo are sold in North America every year.

Before 1992, csa-certified products could only be sold in Canada, and they had to be certified in the United States to enter the American market.CSA International has been recognized as a national testing laboratory by the federal government.This means being able to test and certify your products according to Canadian and U.S. standards, while ensuring that your certification is recognized by federal, state, provincial, and local governments.With CSA's effective product safety certification, access to the world's most resilient and vast north American market is easy.CSA can help your products enter the us and Canada markets quickly and efficiently.CSA International will help manufacturers save time and money by eliminating duplication in the certification process.For the manufacturer, all it has to do is file a request, provide a set of samples and pay a fee, and the safety signs are recognized by the federal, state, and provincial authorities as well as local authorities from New York to Los Angeles.CSA International will work with manufacturers to provide a high-quality and secure certification program.In North America and around the world, CSA people are trusted for their integrity and skill.CSA International has four laboratories in Canada.From 1992 to 1994, they were officially recognized by the U.S. department of labor's occupational safety and health administration (OSHA).Under OSHA regulations, this accreditation enables a nationally recognized testing laboratory to test and certify a range of products in accordance with more than 360 U.S. ANSI/UL standards.The products tested and certified by CSA International are determined to be in full compliance with the standards and can be sold to the United States and Canada.Obtaining north American certification saves time and money by completing one application, providing one set of samples, and paying one fee.With CSA, you can break into both markets in one step.CSA is a convenient test certification service that eliminates the repeated testing and evaluation required to obtain different certifications in both countries.This undoubtedly reduces the cost of product certification, follow-up inspection and retest, and saves valuable time and trouble for manufacturers to deal with various certification bodies, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort.
