Based on the latest information, Canada's CSA safety certification has important updates concerning cybersecurity, specific product standards, and pressure equipment. If you are preparing products for the Canadian market, these new regulations deserve close attention.
The table below summarizes the core new regulatory points for a quick overview.
Detailed Interpretation of New Regulations:
Cybersecurity Requirements for Networked Devices
According to the latest releases from the CSA Group, cybersecurity has become an unavoidable compliance focus for digital products.
·Regulatory Linkage: Notably, new cybersecurity requirements under the EU's Radio Equipment Directive (RED) officially took effect in August 2025. While an EU regulation, this often signals global market trends, and the CSA Group has flagged it for attention, advising exporters to plan accordingly.
·Applicable Products: This new regulation primarily affects all consumer and industrial products with networking capabilities, especially smart appliances, wearables, smart home hubs, and industrial IoT devices.
Appliance Product Standard Updates：
Several commonly used appliance product CSA safety standards have been updated and are now effective.
·Heating Cooking Appliances: For grills, toasters, and similar appliances, the new standard CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-9 became effective and replaced the old standard on September 17, 2025.
·Liquid Heating Appliances: For products like coffee makers, rice cookers, kettles, and pressure cookers, the new standard CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-15 also became effective on September 17, 2025. Companies must test and certify according to the new standards.
Pressure Equipment Impact Test Requirement：
For pressure equipment used in industrial sectors, CSA standards have added important safety test requirements.
·Core of the New Rule: According to the latest CSA B51:24 standard, carbon steel pressure vessels must undergo impact testing.
·Response Strategy: This means relevant manufacturers need to meet new requirements in design, material selection, and production processes to ensure products pass impact tests and prevent the risk of brittle fracture under extreme conditions.
We hope this summary of CSA new regulations helps you better meet Canadian market requirements. If you have more specific questions regarding certification for particular product categories, feel free to contact BLUEASIA at +86 13534225140.
