Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
The Canadian government requires companies to maintain a certain level of performance and safety for products and services sold in the country; stricter regulations are applied to companies that install wires or electrical equipment and devices due to the high risk of electric shocks. In order to sell products in Canada, it is necessary to obtain a designated certification that can guarantee the product's performance and safety, and among them, the CSA certification is mostly preferred.
- Target Products :
Compulsory items: electric appliances, electric machines, wires, electric parts, materials, and gas/oil-burning appliances
Other Items: HVAC (heat, ventilator, and air conditioning) systems and components, home entertainment products, power controls and switches, plumbing products, recreational vehicles, process controls, sports and personal protective equipment, building products, energy, environmental items, etc.

Industry Canada (IC)
IC certification is a compulsory certification system for Canadian communication equipment administered by Industry Canada (IC).
IC is an organization that covers communication standards and electromagnetic wave standards, etc. for the purpose of protecting life and property safety from radio waves and other communication environments; it is similar to the FCC standards from the United States. Majority of the electrical/electronic devices, including communication devices and PCs, must obtain IC certification in order to export to Canada.
- Target Products:
Equipment subject to type approval (class 1 equipment): wired equipment, wireless equipment
Equipment not subject to type approval (class 2 equipment): Equipment subject to electromagnetic wave test
