On January 16th, 2012 the Canadian Standards Association (CSA, Mississauga, Canada) announced that it has opened a new testing and certification laboratory in Hong Kong. The lab will provide localized testing services for clients producing multiple products including transformers, wiring devices and other electrical products.

CSA states that the opening of the 476 square meter facility reflects the importance of the greater China region as a key market for the organization, as well as its business strategy for accelerating investments in technologies including solar photovoltaics (PV). On January 10th, 2012 CSA announced the opening of a similar lab in Shanghai, China.

"CSA is committed to helping companies in the Greater China region succeed in the global marketplace," said CSA Group President and CEO Ash Sahi.

"The opening of CSA's new Hong Kong lab will provide our clients with testing and certification services for a wide range of products to meet various international standards for exports to North America and globally."

CSA states that its Hong Kong laboratory is staffed by a team of professionals trained in relevant North American and international standards.
