And no they do not have to be CSA they can be ETL UL TUV just not CE.

The GHL ballasts only show CE.

Interesting.

I really need to compile this information for him so when he comes back we can get approved.

[Aqua-Digital]

He seems to be very under educated in the regulations, for one just to say it all has to be CSA is B.S just there.

Issue is the info is tightly hidden on health canadas website, and e-safes it takes hours of digging to find it.

I put in a call to a field evaluator.

Apparently they can provide me with all the information needed to pass inspection and certify any equipment that is not certified.

Stay tuned!

+ 1

LED lights are exempt and from what I understand, CE is enough when the electrical unit has an external power supply.

I do see these markings on the GHL ballasts but I dont think its good enough.

I just went thru this with local inspectors with a LED dance floor for my club. Those marks are a exactly the ones they need C RU & C RU US are Non Canadian/US certifiers with CSA approval. Plus I have to agree that your inspector is step out of his area even looking at your equipment.
