CB Scheme

If you manufacture electrical or electronic products, CSA International can show you how the Certification Body (CB) Scheme can open doors for your products worldwide. We test your product to the requirements of CB member countries and issue a CB Test Certificate and Test Report for qualified products. We then help you submit the CB Test Certificate and Test Report to the appropriate National Certification Body, for product certification in that country.

CSA International was the first North American certification body to participate in the Scheme. Today we issue CB Test Reports and Test Certificates for the following product categories:

• IEC 60065, Audio/Video

IECEx Scheme

CSA International has been officially recognised as an Accepted Certification Body and Ex Testing Laboratory to operate in the IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission Explosive) Scheme. The IECEx is an international certification scheme for electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres (Ex equipment) including process control, industrial, signal and communication equipment. This means that we can help you demonstrate that you meet the requirements of the IECEx Scheme.

By joining the IECEx Scheme, CSA can now generate assessment test reports (ATRs) on Ex equipment that are accepted by certification bodies in other active IECEx Scheme member countries. These member countries include Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Korea, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, U.S.A., Yugoslavia.

ATEX Directive

The ATEX Directive applies to products sold within the European Community. CSA International can provide you with one-stop service for hazardous location evaluation for the ATEX Directive.

Our relationship with DEKRA, a Notified Body for the ATEX Directive, enables us to test and evaluate hazardous location equipment. CSA employees have been authorised by DEKRA to perform evaluations and ATEX audits so that we can provide complete coverage under the ATEX Directive.
