We Had Many People Ask How To Check That The Approvals For Electrical Equipment Certified For Canada Are Accurate.

 

Mar 19, 2018

Heating cables, radiant panels and heating cable sets should be certified according to CSA Standard CSA-130.22.2 or later. We get many inquiries about offshore products that bear an approval that are not for use in Canada or have been approved under the wrong standard. Should there be a fire or injury, I doubt if your electrical safety regulator or your insurance company will accept that “You thought it was okay” because there is a stamp or label on the products.

We would be pleased to discuss any floor warming, snow melting, pipe tracing or roof de-icing products with you.
