CSA SPE-1000 Inspections

Why

CSA SPE-1000 Field Approval is Required

The Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) accept the requirements of CSA SPE-1000 model code for the approval of electrical appliances and equipment.

If an appliance cannot be approved or certified because the certification is impractical or otherwise unavailable, it can be approved as per the requirements of CSA SPE-1000 model code, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC Part I), and appliance or product specific standards. When used along with the requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC Part I), this model code addresses the minimum requirements of electrical safety for the equipment.

What SEAC Offers

Field Approval

Field Approval refers to an inspection of a product or appliance at the installation site, the manufacturer’s facility, or elsewhere. The deliverables for this type of service include an inspection report and inspection label. If there are non-conformances, they shall be addressed. We make sure that the client completely understands the non-conformances so that they can be corrected without wasting time and effort.

Pre-Assessment

Pre-Assessment is a type of inspection performed to evaluate the appliance's compliance with the relevant codes and standards. The only deliverable, in this case, is the inspection report. Even if there are non-conformances in the product, the client is not required to address them as part of the Pre-assessment project and the project is considered complete and closed. It just provides the client with the compliance status of their product. After Pre-assessment, the client may proceed with the Field Approval to comply with the regulatory. requirements.
