Why is DryAir Equipment Certified by TÜV SÜD instead of CSA or UL?

• TÜV SÜD is one of the world’s leading providers of testing, inspection, and certification services.
• Their certifications signify that a product has been tested and meets certain standards for quality, safety, and environmental performance.
• TÜV SÜD certifications are widely recognized and respected globally, particularly in industries such as manufacturing.
• Obtaining TÜV SÜD certification demonstrates compliance with industry standards and regulations.

CSA Testing and Certification

Electrical and electronic products placed into the Canadian market must comply with electrical safety standards, namely CSA Standards. There are other standards aside from CSA standards; they include UL, ANSI, IEEE, IEC and NEMA CSA standards, to name a few.

There is a misconception that only CSA Group can test, certify, and apply labels to CSA Group standards. However, like UL (Underwriters Laboratories), CSA Group operates as two unique and separate entities. One being CSA Standards Development – an independent body focused on developing standards. The second, CSA Testing, Inspection and Certification; a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) as accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC).

There are no obligations for any manufacturer to contract with CSA Group to perform tests to CSA Group standards. They can utilize any NRTL to perform safety testing to CSA standards, and any other standard that that NRTL is accredited to perform.

TÜV SÜD America can test and certify to nearly any product safety certification requirement (UL, CSA, IEC and others). Headquartered in Massachusetts, USA, TÜV SÜD America has facilities in Canada, including Gormley, Ottawa, and Newmarket, ON, operating as TÜV SÜD Canada.

UL Testing and Certification

Any electrical product placed on the US and Canadian markets must satisfy and perform safety testing to a degree of standards. These standards include UL standards; they also include ANSI, IEEE, NEMA, and CSA standards, to name a few.

There is a common misunderstanding that UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is the only organization that can certify and apply labels to UL standards. However, UL operates two unique entities, one being an independent body focused on standards development and a second Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) like TÜV SÜD that is capable of issuing a US product certification much like other NRTLs.

OSHA requires that products be tested and certified by an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified, third-party NRTL, and there are no obligations for any manufacturer to engage UL to perform tests to UL standards. They can contract with any NRTL to perform safety testing to UL standards and any other standard that the NRTL is accredited to perform.

TÜV SÜD America can test and certify to nearly any product safety certification requirement (UL,CSA, IEC and others). Headquartered in Wakefield, Massachusetts, TÜV SÜD America has served customers in various industries with testing, inspection, certification, and training services since the early 1990s.
