Complying products will be immediately labeled with a distinctive, serialized label per the CAHJ requirements. In Canada, the technical requirements are described in the Canadian Electrical Code and the CSA Code SPE-1000.

Field Certification (Hazardous Location)

Field Certification is a customized certification service performed at your location.  Products are evaluated to the full requirements of the applicable Canadian standard(s). A Certificate of Compliance and a controlled serialized label(s) bearing the QPS certification mark will be applied to products that are found compliant to the applicable requirements.
