Dear Colleagues, 1). If the subject is the CB Scheme, then we know that in Canada ONLY CSA is accredited to perform Test and Evaluation in order to issue a CB Scheme Report (Certificate). In the USA, several locations of Intertek Testing Services have the accreditation for this job. I will strongly recommend the ITS Boxborough location, Phone Nr.1 978 263 2662 or 1800 WORLDLAB(967-5352).
2). If we are discussing CERTIFICATION for US and(or) CANADA, yes, ITS is entitled to do this job in Canada as well( ETL, cETL , Warnock Hersey Marks), they have several locations, please call 1800 WORLDLAB (967-5352) for the nearest location.
