Bring your wire and cable products to markets across the world
Did You Know?
- High demand for electrification of homes, increased investment in power distribution, and growth in the household sector in developing countries have all driven huge growth for the power cable segment.
- Wind turbines and solar systems require significant amounts of wire and cable that must perform under challenging weather conditions and extreme temperatures.
From building, machine, and appliance wires to fiber optic cables, quality and reliability are crucial in every wire and cable application. Customers have to know that the products they buy and use have been thoroughly tested. But before your products can even reach your target customer, they have to meet the compliance requirements of that market.

Furthermore, when buyers see the CSA Group mark on your wires and cables, they’ll know that you ensured thorough testing for performance. Our mark is widely recognized and accepted by safety inspectors, code officials and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), safety experts and workplace committees, leading product manufacturers, and major product distributors and retailers.
