MR-1 CSA (or similar) apprval questions

Hey all,

Has anyone in Canada gotten their MR-1 CSA approved? If so, what steps were required?

Thanks for any help,

Calum

@Calum Welcome to the forum

I’ve wondered that too. Likely no Canadian Approvals.

"## Certification marks

Electrical products that plug into an electrical outlet must meet Canadian national safety standards and be certified by an accredited certification body.

Always check for certification marks, such as CSA, cUL, or cETL, before purchasing electrical products that plug into an electrical outlet. These marks indicate that the products are assessed and conform to the required Canadian national safety standard.

Do not buy or use electrical products that plug into an electrical outlet without a certification mark.

For more information on certification marks, visit your provincial or territorial electrical safety authority."

I’ll check the control box on my XR but I doubt I’ll find labeling.

It maybe under one of the other underwriters?

I know at work we used to get things UL approved and the cost was unbelievable! even the most simple of circuits was thousands of dollars.
