Jim, Yes, I don’t remember what code or regulation this is stated in, but when I was working at an NRTL occasionally we would have a customer asking how to get items through customs because it was not approved. Canada has a Special Inspection program that is similar to field evaluations in the US and it is fairly well regulated by the SCC. There are many manufacturers who ship products in to the country and get away with it, but occasionally customs will stop shipments until you can provide evidence of compliance or have a special inspection performed.

In the U.S., there are OSHA regulations that require electrical apparatus used in the workplace be certified to U.S. standards by one of OSHA’s Nationally Recognized Test Laboratories (NRTL’s). Is there a similar regulation in Canada that requires electrical apparatus used in the workplace be certified by one of the Standards Council of Canada approved test laboratories to Canadian standards?
