Field Certification
When circumstances make regular product certification impractical, consider the Field Certification option from CSA International.
It can be the ideal option when:
- a product is made to order (one of a kind), or
- a product is manufactured in a very small quantity.
Your CSA International Representative will evaluate the equipment and, if it complies, will label the equipment with a serialized Field Certification label. A typical label looks like this:
 |
 |
 |
| For US Field Certification |
For Canadian Field Certification |
For US And Canadian Field Certification |

CSA International

- Assigns a CSA International Representative to evaluate the equipment. This may include:
- obtaining additional information or documentation
- determining the acceptability of existing test data and/or certification reports of other agencies
- obtaining samples for tests
- communicating CSA's preliminary comments to the submittor before the equipment is examined
- arranging for examination of the equipment at the submittor's site or at a CSA International office.
When the evaluation is complete and the documentation and results are satisfactory, the CSA International Representative:
- Affixes the Field Certification label to the equipment.
- Documents details of the equipment and other pertinent data in a CSA Field Certification Report.
- Sends copies of the report to the submittor and to the authority that has jurisdiction (if applicable).
