CANADIAN STANDARD ASSOCIATION (CSA):
Right now we are following the CSA Standard CSA 22.2 No. 950-M93 and 950-M95 for
all our I.T.E. equipments. From April 1, 2000 CSA will not accept the application
for 950-M93, they will only accept the application for CSA 22.2 No. 950-M95. The
difference between CSA 22.2 No. 950-M93 and 950-M95 is basically the creepage, clearance
and the spacing requirement in the power supply area. The products that are approved
before March 31, 2000, as CSA 950-M93, will be allowed to sell till April 1, 2005.
After that we have to bring our product to CSA 950-M95 compliance or if we have
decided not to produce that product any more we can just delete them.
CSA 22.2 No. 950-M95 Standard is basically the same standard as International Standard
IEC 950 + Canadian deviation.
CSA 22.2 No. 950-M95 Standard = IEC 950 + Canadian Deviation.
In order to get CSA 22.2 No. 950-M95 approval, CSA engineer does the series of tests,
most common tests are: Input test, temperature test, leakage current test, dielectric
test, high voltage test, transformer overload test, open and short test on the critical
components of the Main and power supply board, impact test, oven test and mold stress
test.
If nothing goes wrong it takes 6 weeks to get the CSA approval. Once you get the
CSA approval you can put the CSA label with CSA mark on the products. Please see
below the CSA label/mark.
