As a CSA 'Network Partner', Nemko can offer fast-track access to the ‘CSA’, ‘CSAus’ and 'cCSAus' marks for Canada and the US. The ‘cCSAus’ mark is now recognised in every State and City within America, and therefore we believe it represents the first, genuine alternative to the ‘UL’ mark.

Key benefits of the Nemko/CSA agreement include:

• Competitive Pricing.
• Speed of Service.
• Factory Inspections – carried out by the local Nemko office. We also offer combined Nemko/CSA visits.
• One Point of Contact - from project initiation to full ‘CSA’ approval, all with your local Nemko engineer.

Inspection

Following an agreement signed between CSA and Nemko in November 1999, Nemko Ltd took over most of the CSA factory inspection visits in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland from 1 April 2000. All CSA factory inspections are co-ordinated by our CSA Administrator, Shirley Barker.

CSA International has been accredited by the following bodies:

• The Standards Council of Canada (SCC)
• The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as a Nationally Recognised Test Laboratory (NRTL)
