What is the CSA Mark?

G&M Compliance Home Page

The CSA Marks are registered certification mark of Canadian Standard Association. CSA is an independent, not-for-profit, product-safety testing and certification organization. The CSA Marks may only be used on or in connection with products certified by CSA and under the terms of written agreement with CSA.

The CSA Mark on a product means that CSA has tested and evaluated representative samples of that product and determined that it meets CSA's requirements. The requirements are primarily based on CSA's own published Standards for Safety.

The CSA Mark is so important because an independent, technically expert organization that doesn't have a financial interest in the product's ultimate profitability, determines whether foreseeable risks associated with the product's use have been eliminated or minimized. Once in the marketplace, a product must continue to meet safety requirements in order to bear the CSA Mark or the mark will be removed by CSA.
