<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Stephen. <div><br></div><div>I've been bitten by (unknowingly) using equipment that was not CSA certified; I rented a video projector a while back for an event I was doing audio for, and got told in no uncertain terms by the organizers that the projector was not to be used. It was an inexpensive Asian thing, apparently appropriate for the event, but it had no markings of any sort regarding safety certifications. Fortunately I was able to work around it, but still.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br>Dave O'Heare<br><br><a href="mailto:dave.oheare@gmail.com" target="_blank">dave.oheare@gmail.com</a> <br>+1 613 729-4830<br>+1 613 227-4830 (mobile)</div></div>

Whenever I am asked to provide a quote for 3D printing, laser cutting and 3D scanning equipment, I am often asked to provide proof of safety certification for the quoted equipment.<br>
<br>
CSA certification is typically stipulated by colleges and universities. In Ontario, ESA certification may be sufficient. UL certification is the American equivalent of the CSA. Many manufacturers will also get their equipment UL-C certified, which is UL's certification for Canada. Depending on how picky the institution is, UL certification may be considered acceptable.<br>
<br>
I had to arrange CSA device certification for a $110,000 3D Systems 3D printer we sold to University of British Columbia; it cost around $1,500 for the certification. After that incident, 3D Systems made sure that their X60 series were all CSA certified.<br>
