Canadian Standards Association

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is a not-for-profit organization that develops standards and guidelines to ensure safety, quality, and efficiency in various industries. Established in 1919, the CSA focuses on creating standards for products, services, and systems, ensuring they meet specific safety and performance criteria. Its standards cover areas such as electrical equipment, construction materials, and environmental practices. Products that meet CSA standards often bear the CSA certification mark, signifying they've been tested and verified for safety and reliability, helping consumers make informed choices and promoting public safety across Canada.
