Motors, Generators & Turbines

Motors, generators, and turbines represent a massive segment of the industrial sector. Because they are so important, it is critical these products are tested and certified to the required standards of a region, particularly the applicable energy efficiency regulations.

Because CSA Group has helped develop many of these standards, you benefit from our years of experience and technical insights. No matter where your manufacturing facilities are located, our North American and global network of offices and laboratories gives you direct access to the technical teams that oversee your project from start to finish.

We know how important it is to get your products into targeted global markets quickly and with confidence – our testing and certification services are designed to do just that.
