Background

The Canadian Standards Association is an independent organization

providing integrated services in the fields of standards development

and conformity assessment. The Certification and Testing Division

provides conformity assessment programs including laboratory testing,

certification, inspection and quality management services.

CSA originated in 1919 as the Canadian Engineering Standards

Association (CESA), which was changed in 1944 to the present name. In

1940, CSA began to test and certify products.

CSA's initial application, dated April 20, 1989 (Ex. 2A), was

amended by letter dated January 16, 1990 (Ex. 2C) to expand the

original request for NRTL recognition to test and certify products from

only two standards to more than 360 acceptable test standards. By

letter dated December 20, 1991 (Ex. 2M), CSA further amended its

application for recognition as follows:

1. The scope of this application relating to certification services is

to be limited to in-house testing, and

2. (a) The initial phase of the recognition is to be limited to the

Rexdale (Toronto) facility.

(b) In parallel with the above, proceed with the assessments of the

remaining CSA facilities.

An on-site evaluation of the Rexdale facility was conducted from

November 4 through November 8, 1991, and the results discussed with the

applicant who responded with appropriate corrective actions and

clarifications to recommendations made as a result of the survey.

A notice of CSA's application together with a positive preliminary

finding was published in the Federal Register on June 3, 1992 (57

23429-23434), (Ex. 1).

The notice of CSA's recognition of its Rexdale facility as a

nationally recognized testing laboratory was published in the Federal

Register on December 24, 1992 (57 FR 61452-61460), (Ex. 6). This

recognition was expanded on February 4, 1994 (59 FR 5447).

On-site evaluations were carried out at the Pointe Claire

(Montreal) facility on December 14 and 15, 1992, and at the Richmond

(Vancouver) facility on December 16 and 17, 1992. Evaluations of the

Moncton, Winnipeg, and Edmonton facilities were based upon response to

a questionnaire sent to each facility, supportive documentation, and

video tapes of each site depicting the facility, test equipment,

typical procedures, files, and staff.

The final review report and evaluations (Ex. 11) consisting of both

on-site and other evaluations of the five facilities listed above,

including administrative and technical practices, and the OSHA staff

recommendations, were subsequently forwarded to the Assistant Secretary

for a preliminary finding on the application. A notice of CSA's

application together with a positive preliminary finding were published

in the Federal Register on March 3, 1994 (59 FR 10173-10180).

Interested parties were invited to submit comments.

There were no responses to the Federal Register notice of the CSA

application and preliminary finding (Docket No. NRTL-2-92).

Canadian Standards Association Overview

The Canadian Standards Association is an organization that has six

main test facilities located in Canada. In addition, CSA either

maintains test facilities overseas or enters into contract arrangements

with foreign laboratories and inspection organizations. CSA is a

standards producing organization that is actively working towards

harmonizing the Canadian and United States Standards.

Organizational Structure

Facilities

The Rexdale facility houses the headquarters of the Central

Operations. The Rexdale Facility contains the corporate headquarters, a

Standards Division, Finance and Administration Division, and a

Certification and Testing Division. The laboratory, established in

1919, has been at this location since 1954. The Central Operations

includes the Prairie Region (Winnipeg) and the Central Region

(Rexdale). In addition, the explosion testing laboratory in Ottawa,

under the Canadian Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, where CSA

performs explosion testing, is monitored out of the Central Region.

The Montreal (Pointe-Claire) facility houses the headquarters of

the Eastern Operations. The Eastern Operations includes the following

regional operations: Eastern Region (Pointe-Claire), Atlantic Region

(Moncton), and European Area (Brussels). The Eastern Region and

Atlantic Region maintain testing and inspection facilities for Eastern

North America. The European Area maintains a facility in Brussels and

includes Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and is not covered by this

recognition. Testing in the European Area is contracted to acceptable

laboratories in the European community. Certification of products,

review of the follow-up, and review of the test results are

accomplished by the CSA Brussels Office.

The Vancouver (Richmond) facility houses the headquarters of the

Pacific Rim Operations. The Pacific Rim Operations include the

following regional operations: the Pacific Region (Richmond), Western

Region (Edmonton), Japan Operations (Tokyo) and the Hong Kong

Operations. The Pacific Region and Western Region maintain testing and

inspection facilities for Western North America. The Japan and Hong

Kong Operations include CSA testing facilities in Japan, Hong Kong,

Korea, Taiwan, and either CSA or contracted inspection facilities

throughout the Pacific Rim countries, and are not covered by this

recognition.

Quality Assurance

The Certification and Testing Division's Engineering and Quality

Assurance (EQA) Office reports to the Vice President in charge of the

Certification and Testing Division. The Eastern Operations, Central

Operations, and the Pacific Operations each has a Quality Assurance

Office, and all of the nine Regional (Area) Offices also have Quality

Assurance Offices. The Regional Quality Assurance Offices have a

reporting relationship with the respective Operations Quality Assurance

Office, and with the EQA.

Each Regional Quality Assurance Office is responsible for the

quality assurance at its respective facility. Each Operations Quality

Assurance Office is responsible for the respective quality assurance at

its operation and all the regions within its operation. The EQA is

responsible for the Certification and Testing Division Quality

Assurance, including all of the operations and regions.

Document Structure

The Certification & Testing Division's (C&T) Divisional Director of

Engineering and Quality Assurance (EQA) establishes the quality

assurance philosophy for the three Operations: the Eastern, Central,

and Pacific Rim. EQA uses Divisional Quality Documents (DQD) to

establish Quality Assurance Procedures; Certification and Testing

Division Operating Procedures (CDOP) and Test Packs to provide

evaluation procedures for products submitted for testing; Technical

Information Letters (TIL) to document technical interpretations of

standards; and Engineering Policy Supplements (EPS) to provide

policies.

Audit Structure

The CSA audit structure is multilevel. EQA audits the regions, the

Operations Quality Assurance Office audits the regions, and each

Regional Quality Assurance Office performs self audits. In addition,

such outside agencies as the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) perform

yearly audits which involve EQA representation during the audit. Thus,

the Edmonton and Moncton regions were subjected to at least five audits

since July of 1991, and the Winnipeg region to at least four audits. In

addition, specific technical audits of each region are performed by the

senior technical engineer from the operations office.

Requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7

Capability

Section 1910.7(b)(1) states that for each specified item of

equipment or material to be listed, labeled or accepted, the laboratory

must have the capability (including proper testing equipment and

facilities, trained staff, written testing procedures, and calibration

and quality control programs) to perform appropriate testing.

Based upon the on-site review reports and evaluations and the

products and standards in question, CSA's facilities have adequate

floor space for testing and evaluation and an adequate number of

technical and professional personnel to accomplish the services

required for the present workload in the areas of recognition CSA

seeks.

CSA submitted personal resumes and position descriptions for the

key C&T Division personnel, which include general accountability,

reporting relationships, specific accountabilities, dimensions, and

nature and scope. All personnel appear to be suitably educated and

trained to carry out their assigned duties.

Test equipment is available to perform testing in accordance with

the standards. Test equipment not available is purchased as required.

An inventory list identifies the various pieces of equipment by

inventory number, instrument name, model and serial number, location in

laboratory, range, accuracy, and manufacturer. The calibration lab

maintains a separate equipment inventory list. Operational status and

calibration information is maintained on instrument history files in

the calibration laboratory.

Manufacturer's instructions on use and maintenance of test

equipment are on file in the calibration laboratory. Instruction

manuals are available at the appropriate work stations. Test equipment

subjected to overloading or mishandling, or giving suspect results, is

returned to the calibration laboratory. Defective equipment is retained

in the instrumentation repair department. After repairs are completed,

the instruments are re-calibrated before release. Tests that have been

performed with defective equipment are reevaluated.

The manager of service quality has responsibility for the operation

of the metrology laboratory which includes three full time calibration

technologists who report, in turn, to a team coordinator.

All electrical measuring instrumentation is calibrated once per

year at a minimum. Where equipment manufacturer recommended calibration

intervals are exceeded, the instrument history records are used to

determine any necessary reduced calibration intervals. New and repaired

test equipment is calibrated prior to use. Power supplies, although not

accurately calibrated, have their output set using calibrated

equipment. Dated calibration labels are affixed to the instruments to

indicate the calibration status.

Calibration and repair records are maintained on the metrology

laboratory computer database. The data is maintained for the life of

the equipment. The metrology laboratory computer database generates

monthly recall lists on instruments due for calibration the following

month. The team coordinators and quality assurance representatives

ensure that the instruments are returned for calibration.

Calibration standards are traceable to the National Research

Council of Canada (NRCC) or to the National Institute of Standards and

Technology (NIST).

Published standards, test procedures, the quality assurance manual,

divisional quality documents, and divisional operating procedures all

contain construction or testing parameters to be met by the product

being evaluated. These documents specify, as required, chronological

order of evaluation. Experienced and trained personnel are responsible

for conducting various stages of the investigation. The testing

personnel are generally technical college graduates.

At the time of the on-site evaluation, not all requests for testing

were documented. A directive has been issued requiring the

documentation in the job files of all requests for tests or evaluations

that are received from customers.

The engineering and quality assurance group develops, reviews and

maintains the divisional quality documents (procedures). Procedures are

reviewed once per year. Senior staff, audits and investigations staff,

and engineering and quality assurance representatives are responsible

for determining if procedures are followed. Work orders are prepared

for the testing staff which specify the standards and clause numbers to

be followed.

A letter is sent to the clients describing the construction or test

deficiencies encountered during the course of the evaluation. No

approval is granted until all deficiencies have been resolved.

The shipping/receiving department applies identification labels

directly on the test samples to enable identification after they have

been removed from shipping cartons. Technicians apply further

identification tags, labels or direct markings to differentiate between

similar samples or sets of samples.

Technical policy decisions regarding standards interpretations and

deviations are developed by a consensus of technical experts. The

laboratory distributes technical letters describing standards policy

decisions. The engineering and quality assurance group is responsible

for the development and issuance of technical policy decisions.

The tests procedures contain the following: Instructions on

equipment; preparation of test samples; standard testing techniques;

references to specific standards including titles and dates; testing

equipment and accuracies; precautionary statements for operator safety;

test data to be obtained, measurement resolution and data recording

time; ambient conditions and adverse environmental conditions; and

acceptance criteria during tests.

Test procedures are reviewed and approved by the engineering and

quality assurance group. The procedures are reviewed once per year.

Test data sheets and attached work order contain the following:

standard and clause numbers; product model number; measuring and test

instruments; test date and file number, signature of tester and

reviewer; ambient conditions; test observations and deviation; test

data in the form of compliance, non-compliance, or the need for further

review. An Engineering Policy has been issued that requires the

documentation of the rationale for the waiving of any tests specified

in the applicable standard.

The Certification and Testing Division maintains a quality

assurance (QA) system for CSA's world-wide network. The QA Program of

the Testing Laboratory is registered by Quality Management Institute

(QMI) to ISO 9003 and Z299.3. The Corporate Engineering and Quality

Assurance (EQA) Group has the responsibility and authority for

overseeing all activities related to the Quality Program. The object of

the QA system is to ensure technical excellence, consistency of

interpretation and application of standards, consistency of

implementation of certification programs and procedures, the integrity

of the CSA Mark, and continuous improvement. In addition, the QA System

is designed to meet National and International Accreditation Criteria,

and OSHA has determined that it meets its criteria. The QA System is

documented as follows:

--``Quality Assurance Policy Manual'' (QAPM). It contains the quality

policies for the Certification and Testing Division and establishes the

responsibilities for implementation of these policies.

--``Quality Assurance Manual'' (QAM). These manuals describe in detail

the system and procedures outlined in the QAPM. They are issued by each

Operation Unit after approval by EQA.

--``Divisional Quality Documents'' (DQDs). They are issued and

controlled by Engineering and Quality Assurance (EQA) and consist of

additional operating procedures and guidelines to be used by operations

staff.

OSHA is satisfied that the conditions noted above meet the

requirements.

Creditable Reports/Complaint Handling

Section 1910.7(b)(4) provides that an OSHA recognized NRTL must

maintain effective procedures for producing creditable findings and

reports that are objective and without bias. The laboratory, in order

to be recognized, must also maintain effective procedures for handling

complaints under a fair and reasonable system.

The Canadian Standards Association maintains effective procedures

for producing creditable findings or reports that are objective and

without bias as demonstrated by its application as well as the on-site

review report.

CSA has in force an appeals procedure, designed primarily for their

clients, which consists of a comprehensive system for handling

complaints and ultimately providing an unbiased review of any

controversial matter. All complaints and disputes are resolved,

whenever possible, by those directly involved with the work contested

or at the level of authority appropriate for the nature of the

complaint/dispute. If the issue cannot be resolved, there are specific

steps, including appeals, which may be followed.

There is also a system in effect enabling any interested party to

file complaints concerning certification related matters, manufacturing

related matters, or test standards discrepancies. Upon receipt of a

complaint from a concerned party, the appropriate CSA section would

take the matter under advisement to determine what corrective action

should be taken. All complaints are investigated to determine if and

what corrective action may be necessary.

CSA routinely investigates incidents involving CSA marked products.

This is done with the help of regulatory and law enforcement

authorities, consumers and manufacturers. The investigations are

performed by the Special Support Services group. Their mandate is to

protect the integrity of the Registered CSA Mark. The Special Support

Services group investigates fires, examines products, does research,

conducts fact finding studies, analyzes failures and trends and, when

required, presents evidence in court.

Permanent records are compiled to document all technical and

quality related activities of the Certification and Testing Division.

The system for controlling all technical and quality records is

described in the Quality Assurance Manuals for each CSA Office.

The certification reports contain the following: name and location

of submitter and factory; title, number, and date of standard used for

evaluation; file number, report date, edition number and revision date;

description of product including drawings, specifications, and

photographs; conditions of product use; construction and testing

narratives which describe how the product(s) comply with the standard;

tests and results of tests; deviations and technical rationale for

acceptance.

The jobholder, or certification engineer, is responsible for the

preparation and review of the final report. The test report is written

by the technician. The senior technician also is responsible for

reviewing and signing the test report before it is reviewed by the

certification engineer. Certification reports are revised with

replacement pages. A new report is prepared if extensive changes are

required. Copies of the certification report are given to the customer,

jurisdictional authorities, where required, and are placed in follow-up

inspection files and main certification files.

Type of Testing

The standard contemplates that testing done by NRTLs fall into one

of two categories: testing to determine conformance with appropriate

test standards, or experimental testing where there might not be one

specific test standard covering the new product or material. CSA has

applied for recognition in the first category. The test standards

included in this recognition are the same as those covered in the

Rexdale (Toronto) recognition. They were found to be appropriate test

standards during that recognition.

Follow-Up Procedures

Section 1910.7(b)(2) requires that the NRTL provide certain follow-

up procedures to the extent necessary for the particular equipment or

material to be listed, labeled, or accepted. These include

implementation of control procedures for identifying the listed or

labeled equipment or materials, inspecting the production run at

factories to assure conformance with test standards, and conducting

field inspections to monitor and assure the proper use of the label.

The applicant provides for the implementation of control procedures

for identifying the listed and labeled equipment or materials,

inspection of the production run of such items at factories for product

evaluation purposes to assure conformance with applicable test

standards, and the conducting of field inspections to monitor and to

assure the proper use of its identifying mark or labels on products. A

submitter must enter into a written contract (service agreement) with

CSA to permit the use of the CSA Mark on the product. This agreement

clearly specified the submitter's responsibilities and the terms and

conditions for maintaining certification, such as the right of access

by CSA inspection staff to listed factories, and notifying CSA when

changes are made to certified products. These terms and conditions are

designed to protect the integrity of the CSA Mark, which is also

registered as a certification mark with the U.S. Patent Office.

CSA established a comprehensive field service program to ensure

that manufactured products bearing any CSA Mark continue to meet the

applicable requirements. The program consists of three elements:

Follow-up Inspections;

Re-examination Testing; and

Field Monitoring.

Follow-up inspections are conducted at the point of manufacturing

and labeling to ensure, among other things, that:

--the CSA Mark is applied only to certified products;

--that the terms of the Agreement are met when the CSA Mark is used;

--defects noted during previous inspections have been corrected;

--the manufacturer is aware of any new services and requirements;

The inspections are unannounced and are based on performing a

minimum of four inspections per factory per year. The frequency varies

with production volumes, the types of product and the manufacturer's

track record.

When products fail to meet the requirements, Field Service

Representatives take action to have the manufacturer correct the defect

immediately, quarantine the stock until the product can be reworked or

re-evaluated by certification staff, and remove the CSA Mark from the

product.

In cases where it is difficult to determine if a product or

component complies with the requirements strictly by visual

examination, such products are reexamined and tested on a yearly basis.

CSA has an independent, special investigation unit, the Audits and

Investigations Group, to monitor products in the field, investigate

field complaints, and provide feedback to the standards writing and

certification process.

Independence

Section 1910.7(b)(3) requires that an NRTL be completely

independent of employers subject to the tested equipment requirements

and of any manufacturer or vendors of equipment or materials being

tested. The applicant stated in its application that it is in complete

compliance with this requirement.

The applicant has demonstrated that it is an independent, not-for-

profit membership association, without share capital, incorporated

under the laws of Canada in 1919, engaged in developing national

standards and providing a certification service for manufacturers

wishing to have their products certified as complying with national

standards or standards of foreign countries. The applicant further

demonstrated that the organization has no affiliation with

manufacturers or suppliers of the products submitted for testing and

certification. Several documents were submitted as a part of the CSA

application to address the issue of independence.

Test Standards

Section 1910.7 requires that an NRTL use ``appropriate test

standards'', which are defined, in part, to include any standard that

is currently designated as an ANSI safety designated product standard.

As to the non-ANSI UL test standards for which CSA has applied to test

products to, OSHA previously had examined the status of the

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) Standards for Safety and, in

particular, the method of their development, revision and

implementation, and had determined that they are appropriate test

standards under the criteria described in 29 CFR 1910.7(c) (1), (2),

and (3). (See 54 FR 25643, 25645 (6/16/89), ``Dash, Straus and Goodhue,

Inc.; Recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory''. That

is, these standards specify the safety requirements for specific

equipment or classes of equipment and are recognized in the United

States as safety standards providing adequate levels of safety; they

are compatible and remain current with periodic revisions of applicable

national codes and installation standards; and they are developed by a

standards developing organization under a method providing for input

and consideration of views of industry groups, experts, users,

consumers, governmental authorities, and others having broad experience

in the safety fields involved.

The laboratory subscribes to the ANSI/UL standards updating

service. Standards and revisions are distributed to appropriate

laboratory personnel. Revised or superseded standards are archived.

All other aspects of the testing and certification process,

including test and evaluation procedures, test reports, records,

quality assurance, follow-up listing program, and details concerning

personnel, are addressed in the On-Site Review Report (Survey), Ex.

10A(2), as follows, and are found to be acceptable:

Ponte-Claire (Montreal) Facility--Exhibit 10A(2)(A);

Richmond (Vancouver) Facility--Exhibit 10A(2)(B);

Moncton Facility--Exhibit 10A(2)(C);

Winnipeg Facility--Exhibit 10A(2)(D);

Edmonton Facility--Exhibit 10A(2)(E).

Final Decision and Order

Based upon a preponderance of the evidence resulting from an

examination of the complete application, the supporting documentation,

and the OSHA staff finding including the on-site report and

evaluations, and public comments, OSHA finds that the Canadian

Standards Association, the Pointe-Claire (Montreal), the Richmond

(Vancouver), the Edmonton, the Moncton, and the Winnipeg facilities,

have met the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 to be recognized by OSHA as

a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory to test and certify certain

equipment or materials.

Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, the Canadian Standards

Association, the Pointe-Claire (Montreal) Facility, the Richmond

(Vancouver) Facility, the Edmonton Facility, the Moncton Facility, and

the Winnipeg Facility are hereby recognized as a Nationally Recognized

Testing Laboratory subject to the conditions listed below. This

recognition is limited to equipment or materials which, under 29 CFR

Part 1910, require testing, listing, labeling, approval, acceptance, or

certification, by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. This

recognition is limited to the use of the following test standards for

the testing and certification of equipment or materials included within

the scope of these standards.

CSA has stated that all the standards in these categories are used

to test equipment or materials which may be used in environments under

OSHA's jurisdiction. These standards are all considered appropriate

test standards under 29 CFR 1910.7(c):

The Canadian Standards Association must also abide by the following

conditions of its recognition, in addition to those already required by

29 CFR 1910.7:

This recognition applies to the Canadian Standards Association

facilities in Canada only. Specifically, CSA's facilities in Pointe-

Claire (Montreal) Richmond (Vancouver), Edmonton, Moncton, and

Winnipeg;

Products tested or evaluated at other CSA facilities (or

independent facilities that may be used by CSA for the purpose of

testing equipment) must be re-evaluated by a CSA facility recognized as

an NTRL by OSHA (i.e., the recognized CSA facilities will critically

review the complete test data package, ensure the data was collected by

qualified and independent sources, and physically evaluate the

product's components and construction;

This recognition also does not apply to any aspect of any Canadian

Standards Association program which is available only to qualified

manufacturers and is based upon the NRTL's evaluation and accreditation

of the manufacturer's quality assurance program;

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration shall be allowed

access to CSA's facilities and records for purposes of ascertaining

continuing compliance with the terms of its recognition and to

investigate as OSHA deems necessary;

If CSA has reason to doubt the efficacy of any test standard it is

using under this program, it shall promptly inform the test standard

developing organization of this fact and provide that organization with

appropriate relevant information upon which its concerns are based;

CSA shall not engage in or permit others to engage in any

misrepresentation of the scope of conditions of its recognition. As

part of this condition, CSA agrees that it will allow no representation

that it is either a recognized or an accredited Nationally Recognized

Testing Laboratory (NRTL) without clearly indicating the specific

equipment or material to which this recognition is tied, or that its

recognition is limited to certain products;

CSA shall inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any

change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, including details;

CSA will continue to meet the requirements for recognition in all

areas where it has been recognized; and

CSA will always cooperate with OSHA to assure compliance with the

letter as well as the spirit of its recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7.

Effective Date

This recognition will become effective on August 9, 1994 and will

be valid for a period of five years from the date of the recognition of

the Rexdale (Toronto) facility, that is, until December 24, 1997,

unless terminated prior to that date, in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.7.

Joseph A. Dear,

Assistant Secretary.
