Mi-T-M builds safe and reliable products. In the United States, the UL, CSA International and ETL are accredited by
the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
Generally speaking, all OSHA accredited laboratories conduct their tests against the same set of US standards and
codes, regardless of who authors or publishes them. Having undergone detailed scrutiny of our technical competence,
integrity and certification testing facility, Mi-T-M is authorized by CSA to perform much of the product certification work
in-house with NRTL audits to guarantee credibility. The mark of CSA, ETL or UL on a Mi-T-M product is an added
assurance of safety.
CSA Group - the Canadian Standards Association - for standards development, information products, sale of
publications, training and membership services.
CSA International - for product testing and certification; also test to applicable US standards, which include ANSI, UL,
CSA, NSF and others.
QMI - for management systems registration. CSA marks appear on over one million products worldwide.
Intertek's ETL Semko division has been the global leader in the testing, inspection and certification of products for over 100
years, dating back to Thomas Edison's Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL). The ETL listed mark is the legal equivalent
of the UL-listed and CSA-listed marks, designated by OSHA and the Standards Council of Canada. When Mi-T-M products
bear Intertek's proprietary ETL-listed mark, the letters ETL will carry with them a long history of innovation, influence and
independence.
UL, "Underwriters Laboratories Inc." the trusted source across the globe for product compliance. UL has tested
products for public safety for more than a century. UL offers one of the conformity assessment industry's broadest portfolios
of capabilities and certification marks. Their unique mix of local expertise in global markets and deep industry knowledge
helps bring safer products to market.
The International Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code establishes rules of safety governing the design, fabrication and
inspection of boilers and pressure vessels, and nuclear power plant components during construction. In the formulation
of its rules and in the establishment of maximum design and operating pressures, the Committee considers technological
advances including materials, construction, methods of fabrication, inspection, certification and
overpressure protection.
The objective of the rules is to provide a margin of deterioration in service. Advancements in design and material and the
evidence of experience are constantly being added by Addenda.
Originating in 1914, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is now adopted in part or in its entirety, by 49 states
and numerous municipalities and territories of the United States and all the provinces of Canada.
CSA International is the principal product testing, certification and standards development organization serving the gas
industry in the US and Canada.
They are the number one source for gas product approvals in North America and the only organization that issues the familiar
Blue Star Mark for the US and Blue Flame Mark for Canada.
CSA International is uniquely qualified to test and certify that gas appliances and accessories meet applicable US standards.
Since 1925, the Blue Star Mark of approval has been the mark of choice for gas-fired appliances and accessories in the
US. We test products for conformance with all applicable ANSI and CSA gas standards. CSA marked products are used
and sold in the US everyday.
The Warnock Hersey Mark (WH) is North Americas leading product safety and performance mark for building and
construction products. Products bearing the WH Mark indicate compliance to relevant building codes, association criteria,
and product safety and performance standards.
The WH Mark can be found on more than 6,500 products ranging from fire doors and builders hardware to hearth, plumbing
and construction products. Having Intertek's WH Mark on your product reflects your commitment to product safety,
performance and quality to inspectors, builders and end users. The mark also signifies that the products manufacturing
site(s) undergo periodic follow-up inspections to ensure ongoing compliance of the originally certified product.
