Presentation Notes
CSA’s certification marks are recognized all over the world and they can be seen on many common household items as well as commercial equipment. As mentioned earlier, the C and the US shown on the first mark indicates that the product is tested to U.S. and Canadian standards. The US shown on the second mark shows that the product is tested to U.S. standards only. Where there is no C or US, it means that the product is tested to Canadian standards only.
Certification Marks Offer:
The CSA mark shows that a product has been independently tested and certified to meet recognized standards for safety and performance.

The 2016 edition has been completely reorganized for easier access to requirements. The title of the document has been changed from Vehicular Gaseous Fuel Systems Code to Vehicular Natural Gas Fuel Systems Code to coordinate with the removal of hydrogen systems from the scope of the document in 2013. New and revised definitions harmonize the Code with the new CSA Group NGV 5.1 standard, Residential Fueling Appliances. Most notably, this includes a new definition for residential fuelingappliances and a revised definition for vehicle fueling appliances.

Presentation Notes
A manufacturer will contact CSA when they have a new product that needs to be certified and request a project estimate. The certifier will tell the manufacturer which standards it needs to be certified to, the cost, how long it will take and what samples, components, data, drawings, and other information will be needed. Once the product testing and evaluation has been completed and the product passes all the tests determined by the relevant standard(s), the manufacturer receives notification, typically in the form of a test report, stating that the product does comply with the requirements specified in the applicable standards. Once product is certified, manufacturer receives approval to put the certification mark of the NRTL on the product. The product is then publicly listed in the NRTL’s Certified Product Listing directory. After certification, NRTL conducts periodic post certification surveillance including factory inspections and audits.

Peace of Mind
The CSA mark on a product– Provides peace of mind for consumers, manufacturers,
government regulators, and AHJ’s.– Demonstrates that it has been independently tested and
certified.– Indicates that it meets recognized standards for safety and/or
performance.

Presentation Notes
Although product certification is not something many people talk about in their daily conversations, it is important to note that the CSA Mark does provide peace of mind for manufacturers, government regulators, and consumers. The CSA Mark shows that a product has been tested and meets the applicable standards for safety and/or performance. Many manufacturers know that it makes good sense to have a certification mark on their products – it demonstrates responsible corporate citizenship and shows their commitment to customer safety and satisfaction.
Mission of CSA Group
