How Our File Transfer Program Works

Switching your Hazloc certifications to CSA Group is designed to be as simple and efficient as possible. Here is how our process works:

• Submit Your Request
  Begin by completing a straightforward application form to transfer your files to CSA Group. The form requires basic information about your certifications, helping us understand your needs and file details. If you are unsure about any part of the form, our team is available to guide you.
• Receive Your Quote
  Once we review your application, we will provide a clear and transparent cost estimate for an administrative review. This quote reflects the complexity, number, and age of your files and is treated as a small administrative project rather than a full certification review. We aim to make sure there are no hidden fees or unexpected charges.
• Transfer Your Files
  After accepting the quote, submit the required certification documentation, including certificates, assessment reports, and certified drawings, along with a signed declaration. From there, CSA Group will take care of the transfer process, making sure all key data is documented accurately for certification under our name.

This hassle-free process is designed to save you time, effort, and costs.

What to Expect

• Fast Turnaround
  CSA Group understands the importance of minimizing downtime. Once your documentation is submitted, the transfer process is completed within approximately two weeks. This efficient timeline means you can move forward without delays to your operations or upcoming projects.
• Minimal Costs
  The File Transfer Program is considered as an administrative project, keeping fees manageable and transparent. Costs are determined case by case, based on the complexity of your files, but rest assured, our program is designed to be cost-effective compared to initiating new certifications or managing multiple CB relationships.
