Reply To: Field inspections and certifications of academic equipment

Hello Oxana,

Purchasing will forward the required documentation to Facilities to review. It is Facilities responsibility to ensure it meets CSA ULC… When the equipment is received, in most cases we are directly involved with the installation which will include an ESA inspection. Should it fail and require modifications, we will work with the equipment owner to modify the equipment, field test it to obtain certification. In some case, if it out of our expertise we will contract out the installation and modification at the owner’s expense.

When there is a dispute if the equipment is or is not compliant, we will ask ESA to perform an inspection.

Hope this helps.
