INTRODUCTION

This directory lists all the verified energy efficiency products and services that were CSA certified as of February 1996. It replaces all earlier editions of the directory.

ABOUT CSA STANDARDS

CSA is Canada's largest standards-writing, testing, and certification organization. More than 7000 volunteer members from across Canada serve on the committees that write, review, and revise the standards published by CSA. Committee members include representatives from federal, provincial, and municipal governments; from research organizations, labour unions, and consumer groups; and from manufacturers, consultants, professional associations, and trade organizations.

Today there are over 1300 CSA standards, reflecting a national consensus of producers, users, and regulator)' authorities. CSA standards cover nearly 35 major areas, such as structural design, building materials, the Canadian Electrical Code, computers, office machines, environmental protection, health care, fire safety, and sports and recreational equipment.

Most CSA standards provide detailed procedures for testing and inspection, to certify that a product or service conforms to the standard.

Most of the published CSA Standards provide detailed procedures for testing and inspection to verify conformance to the applicable Standards.

Approximately one-third of CSA's Standards have been incorporated by reference into provincial or federal government regulation, so that in these cases, compliance with the CSA Standard has been made mandatory.

Manufacturers and suppliers have their products or services verified as conforming to CSA Standards to meet a variety of energy efficiency regulations.

CSA verification benefits everyone by helping ensure the energy efficiency of products in the marketplace.
