In today’s rapidly changing business environment, keeping on top of the latest research and methods is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge. Staying informed, and often ahead, of these trends helps CSA Group to continually offer industry-leading standards-based solutions, and testing and certification services.

Research initiatives

CSA Group dedicates considerable effort to conducting and supporting research in emerging areas to stay on top of new technologies and changes within established manufacturing sectors. Conducting regular research enables the organization to make sure it is constantly adapting and evolving to meet its clients’ long-term needs and, as a result, helping businesses stay ahead of competition, as well as increase profitability.

CSA Group’s research initiatives are designed to support the development of future standards solutions, provide interim guidance to industries on the development and adoption of new technologies, and to demonstrate its on-going commitment to providing social good. The CSA Group Research Program focuses on two kinds of projects:

• Topics, trends and challenges that may affect or transform specific interest groups or society at large to explore the potential for new standards-based solutions in these areas; and
• Specific valuable information and insight on a particular subject that can be provided to technical committees to strengthen and expedite the standards development process.

Industry expertise

CSA Group is one the largest standards development organizations (SDO) in Canada, with the widest subject area recognition. The organization also works with other SDOs around the world to contribute to international and harmonized standards activities. CSA Group’s library of more than 3,000 standards and codes addresses subjects that affect the interests of industry, consumers, regulators and the public at large.

Its standards development follows a well-defined and highly controlled method. The company relies on technical committees made up of industry professionals, academics, regulators, consumer representatives, and those who have demonstrated relevant expertise and credentials, such as engineers and manufacturers’ associations. Many of these committees are focused on emerging and disruptive technology, which in turn gives CSA Group’s testing and certification clients a competitive edge.
