CSA standards and certification help protect our homes from the threat of gas fueled central heating unit fires

In 1980, in the United States, more than 11,000 home structure fires involving gas fueled central heating units were reported, along with more than 400 civilian injuries and 40 civilian deaths. Since that time, a steadily decreasing trend has emerged, with 2,500 fires, 167 civilian injuries and 44 deaths in 2003. CSA is North America's premier provider of installation codes and product safety and performance standards for natural gas and propane-fired equipment. CSA International is the market leader in related gas product certification.
