IMQ & CSA

Step 1: Start the application process early
Contact the IMQ office, in Milan-Italy. Here is a list of the information we will need:

• A marketing brochure or data sheet describing the product (what it is, what it does, and what it looks like)
• A photograph of the product
• A list of all components or materials used in the product, including the model or catalogue designations, electrical ratings (if applicable), and CSA file numbers (if applicable)
• Indication of any other approvals either already received or being pursued
• Any alternate materials or components that might be used in manufacturing
• Schematic and/or wiring diagrams, if this is an electrical, electronic or gas product
• The model or catalogue numbers to be covered by this certification, and the similarities and differences between models
• The full name and address of all facilities where the product will be assembled, and a contact person for each facility

Step 2: Provide samples and test data
Provide IMQ with a sample of the products you would like certified.
Please label all product samples with your project reference number to ensure prompt service.

Step 3: Respond to the Findings letter
Once your product has been tested, you will receive a Findings letter. The Findings letter tells you the results of the test and what to do next to obtain certification.

Step 4: Receive final certification
If the product meets the requirements, CSA International will issue a Certification Report and Certificate of Compliance. You may now use the CSA Mark on the certified product upon signing a service agreement with CSA International.
