Hi Guys,
I thought I'd ask a quick question here, a little of topic but if you don't ask you don't get.
Firstly we are based in the UK and manufacture control panels. One of our regular customers has sold a recycling plant to a company in Canada. They have asked us to build a panel to suit the Canadian regulations. I'm assuming this is all contained in the CSA standards? The design of the panel is not the issue here, what I'd like to know is what are the hoops we would have to jump through to get the panel into the country? Does the panel have to be inspected by a CSA expert once in the country? Any information or experience that you may have of this would be greatly appreciated.
We have sent control panels all around the world, to the USA, To Australia, Malaysia, Russia and a few middle eastern and African countries as well. We have never been questioned or, to my knowledge, had to have a control panel inspected either on site or before it enters the country. The reason for my concern with Canada is one of our suppliers has warned us of a different local company that experienced massive difficulties in getting a control panel into Canada and eventually it ended up having to be manufactured there instead.
thanks for any help.
regards
Jonny
