About CSA International Certification Marks

The CSA mark indicates that a product, process or service has been tested to a Canadian or U.S. standard and meets the requirements of an applicable CSA standard or another recognized document used as a basis for certification. For consumers, the mark provides increased assurance of quality and safety. For manufacturers, international recognition of the mark helps to ease their entry into foreign markets.

Only when a product has been certified to an applicable standard is it entitled to bear the appropriate CSA International Certification mark. Certification marks appear on product packaging and on, or adhered to, the product itself, depending on the individual requirements of each applicable standard.

Regulatory authorities in many occupational health and safety, electrical, gas, building, plumbing, and other fields in the U.S. and Canada, accept CSA International Certification marks. Products with CSA International Certification marks are accepted by many major retailers, manufacturers, distributors, specifiers and regulators throughout the U.S. and in export markets around the world.
