Lisa, Group, here's my two bits worth, for what it's worth... I'm on the CSA Code Committee for the 'industrial' bits of CSA's adoption the the original 1010-1 Document, authored by the IEC.
CSA has adopted it verbatim, with a number of National Deviations and the addition of Amendment 1, all tacked on the end to become CSA 1010-1. Since then, the base document, IEC 1010-1 was also adopted, or 'Journaled', by CENELEC, to be re-named as the European Norm, EN61010-1, and they too adopted it with Amendment 1 but they added Amendment 2 as well. So CSA's 1010 and the European Norm, 1010 are very similar except for the National Deviations for Canada added for the CSA version, and the 2nd amendment added for European Norm. That's the 1010 standard's origin, but to fully answer your question, you'd need to clarify what exactly you have for a 'CE Mark Report'. If it's just a self declaration report, not written by a Notified Body in Europe or an accredited test house from elsewhere having a memorandum of understating (MOU) with CSA, CSA CAN'T Accept any of the testing data provided there-in. If it's written by a Notified Body, or an agency with an CSA MOU, they will accept the data, and use what they can to proceed. They WILL, however have to cover the national deviations for Canada with whatever testing may additionally be required. A third option you may have is the CB Scheme route, where if a CB (Certified Body) member agency in any one of the 40(??) or so subscribing countries wrote the 1010 report, they could have also done all of the work for you to cover any CB member state's national deviations, including Canada's. CSA would accept that data with essentially a rubber stamp approval. CBs can also do the 2nd Amendment testing for you too, to allow the CB Report to be used for a CE Mark Report. So, I hope that one of these three scenarios answers your question, but if you need more clarification, feel free to contact me directly!!
