CSA - Canadian Standards Association

CSA is a leading provider of product testing and certification services for products sold in the U.S., Canada and around the world.

The majority of W&F’s products are tested and approved by CSA, which is a sign of confidence for millions of people worldwide, every day. Here's why:

• CSA marks mean a product has been tested and meets applicable standards for safety and/or performance, including the applicable standards written or administered by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF), and others.
• CSA International is a North American leader in product testing and certification, with a respected history dating back to 1919.
• CSA works closely with the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI), the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI), Health Canada, provincial regulators, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to promote standards for consumer safety in North America and around the world.
• CSA testing is accepted by key conformity assessment organizations in the U.S. including IAPMO and ASSE
• CSA field representatives conduct more than 50,000 factory visits each year, worldwide, to ensure that CSA-certified products continue to meet the applicable standards.

Some of W&F’s products have certified by CSA ANSI/NSF 61: Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects. This is the nationally recognized health effects standard for all devices, components and materials which contact drinking water.
