In Ontario, before any electrical product or equipment is utilized, marketed, exhibited, or promoted for sale, it is mandatory for it to receive approval from a recognized certification or evaluation body. Such products must bear the official seal or sticker of the agency, signifying that the item has undergone independent safety assessment.

These regulations establish the criteria for the safety of electrical products and installations within Ontario. Adherence to these standards safeguards the general public, employees, contractors, and business proprietors.

The installation and use of electrical equipment without proper approval is illegal, poses safety hazards, and may result in legal action.
