New Canadian Labeling Requirements
ADDED: 1/18/2007 10:00:00 AM
In
Canada, MET is approved as a Certification Body
by the Standards Council of Canada and provincial
authorities throughout Canada. As in the U.S.,
the MET label indicates the applicable CSA standard
to which the product has been certified.
A new ruling by the Standards Council of Canada has required that the type of certification is clearly indicated on the mark (label) used to indicate certification. This can be achieved by either indicating the actual standard to which the product has shown compliance or using the following terms "Electrical Safety" or if applicable "Electrical Safety and/or Hazardous Location Safety". This requirement will be in effect April 1, 2010.
Clients who purchase labels directly from MET are already in compliance. Those clients who employ direct imprinting methods will need to change their artwork if their present labeling does not comply. These clients are required to submit a revised drawing for approval along with a PAR (Project Amendment Request) form available at http://www.metlabs.com/safety/info/PAR-hr.pdf.
