FAQ

UL certification is the valid local standard for the circulation of some types of products, including industrial equipment, within the United States. Instead, the CSA mark is valid for the Canadian market. Other applicable standards are the OSHA, ANSI standards for workplace and machine safety in the USA, and the Canadian Registration Number (CRN) for the use of pressure vessels in Canada.

The UL mark covers construction materials, industrial equipment, protective firefighting equipment for personnel or for industrial vehicles, and other products like wetsuits intended for the American market, the certification of which is voluntary but strongly recommended to facilitate the circulation of industrial equipment on the North American market, based on contractual, insurance-related, or legal reasons. CSA certification for the Canadian market follows a similar logic.

The cost of UL/CSA certification varies based on the complexity of the machinery or component to certify and on whether any changes need to be made to the design in order to make the product compliant with the standards. We invite you to contact us for a customized estimate.
