What the CSA mark means to you and your family:

CSA marks are a sign of confidence for millions of people worldwide, every day. Here's why:

• CSA marks mean a product has been tested and meets applicable standards for safety and/or performance, including the applicable standards written or administered by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), NSF International (NSF), and others.
• CSA International is a North American leader in product testing and certification, with a respected history dating back to 1919.
• CSA works closely with the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI), the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI), Health Canada, provincial regulators, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to promote standards for consumer safety in North America and around the world.
• · CSA testing is accepted by key conformity assessment organizations in the U.S. including IAPMO and ASSE
• CSA field representatives conduct more than 50,000 factory visits each year, worldwide, to ensure that CSA-certified products continue to meet the applicable standards.

Why Standards Matter

Standards touch your life every day, affecting nearly every product or service you encounter-from the pipes in the wall to the lights overhead. When you sit down at your desk, plug in an appliance, drive over a bridge, or put on a helmet, standards are at work.

Standards help to ensure that products and services live up to your expectations. In many cases they define safety and quality requirements; in some cases they focus on efficiency or environmental practices.

For manufacturers, standards help to lower production costs. They promote interconnectivity and harmonization among products and components, and help open doors to new markets. For consumers, this means a wider selection of goods and services and a more competitive marketplace. It also means greater convenience and consumer confidence.

Think about it:

• You assume that products will work together if they are designed to do so.
• You depend on products to be packaged appropriately-easy enough for you to open, but secure enough to prevent tampering or damage.
• If you have a disability, you depend on barrier-free design to gain access to buildings and elevators.
• You seek assurance that your personal information is protected from misuse by the organizations that collect and use it-including governments, banks, and others.

In these ways and many others, standards make a real difference in your life and in the world.

You can have confidence that the Volcano is built to the highest safety standard to give you peace of mind for years to come.
