What is csa certification in Canada?

CSA stands for the Canadian Standards Association, established in 1919. It is a globally recognized authority in standards development, testing, and certification. As one of the largest standards organizations worldwide, CSA provides safety certifications for a variety of products, including electrical appliances, gas equipment, lighting, plumbing, electronics, medical devices, hazardous locations, industrial equipment, building materials, renewable energy systems, and consumer goods. Products like electronics and electrical appliances sold in the North American market must obtain safety certifications.
