My company has been doing buisness in Canada for a number of years. Our latest customer was told by their safety authority during their last inspection that the entire machine should have had a certification or approval sticker applied. This was quite a surprise. We were told this could be CSA, UL, ENTELA or IAS. To date I have not been aware of any requirement for this to be done on a large industrial machine. From an electrical standpoint, all the components used are CSA approved.

What are the requirements for installing an industrial machine in a Canadian manufacturing facility? What are the rules and/or laws regulating this? Is an certification by a third party required?
