Tips for streamlining the certification process

There are several ways you can help make the certification process as quick and cost-effective as possible:

Use components that are certified by CSA International

Take full advantage of the proven track record of your components. Be sure to identify all components that are already certified by CSA International.

Pre-test your products

Early testing can help you identify problems that might delay product certification. If you do not have test facilities, contact the CSA International office in Arnhem for help. There is an added benefit to doing your pre-testing through CSA International: your early test results might be used later in the certification process, provided that the requirements have not changed in the meantime.

Provide supporting material

When submitting your product samples for certification, include detailed data sheets, marketing and sales materials, photographs, and instructions for use. You can submit your supporting material in hardcopy or electronic format.

Ask the experts

Take advantage of our Technical Information Service (TIS). Whether you are a new or existing customer with a new product, this customised, confidential service puts our certification experts to work for you--examining specifications and prototypes, advising on standards, and providing practical training for your product team.
