CSA INTERNATIONAL
Overview

CSA International provides testing and certification services for a wide range of products in the electrical, gas, plumbing, mechanical, construction, and occupational health and safety sectors.

CSA International certification marks indicate that a product, process or service has been tested to a Canadian or U.S. standard and it meets the requirements of an applicable CSA standard or another recognized document used as a basis for certification.

For consumers, CSA International certification marks provide increased assurance of quality and safety. For manufacturers, international recognition of the mark helps to ease their entry into North American markets. CSA International certification marks are accepted by many North American regulators and preferred by a large number of North American retailers. Billions of products bearing CSA International certification marks are found on the shelves of well-known retail chains and sold by major product distributors. CSA International has the number one market share in the gas and plumbing sectors in both the U.S. and Canada.

CSA International tests products for the North American and International markets against applicable standards including those of CSA Standards, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), NSF National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and other agencies.

CSA International is accredited by national agencies including:

  • Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) - Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory
  • American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
  • National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP)
  • National Evaluation Service (NES)
  • Standards Council of Canada (SCC)

CSA International offices and laboratories, located across North America, and in Asia, India and Europe, are all equipped to provide the testing and certification services. CSA International also helps manufacturers access other markets with testing and certification programs available for Europe and China.
