Choosing a CSA-certified fire pit ensures that you are investing in a product that meets rigorous safety and performance standards. Here are the top reason CSA Certification matters to consumers and dealers:
Safety Assurance: CSA certification means the fire pit has undergone thorough testing to ensure it meets strict safety requirements. This reduces the risk of accidents and ensures safe operation in your outdoor space.
Reliable Performance: CSA-certified fire pits are tested for durability and reliability, providing consistent performance every time you use them. You can trust that your fire pit will function as intended, offering peace of mind.
Compliance with Regulations: Many local regulations and building codes require outdoor appliances to be CSA-certified. Having a certified fire pit ensures you comply with these regulations, avoiding potential legal issues.
High-Quality Standards: CSA certification is a mark of quality. It indicates that the product is made with high-grade materials and adheres to stringent manufacturing standards, ensuring longevity and superior performance.
What To Look For In A Manufacturer:
With the increase in fire feature manufacturers, it’s become increasingly important to know who is manufacturing the fire pits you’re buying, selling, installing and specifying. Fire pit safety starts at the factory, where procedures and processes ensure that the finished fire pit will meet approved safety standards. To ensure you are buying from a quality manufacturer make sure they adhere to these CSA standards and procedures:
- Use CSA certified components
- Appliance assembly exclusively in the U.S.
- Use domestically sourced metals and materials
- Follow lean manufacturing processes for advanced quality control
- Provide dedicated in-house engineering and testing to verify performance and
compliance of a product line or design
- Test each product for compliance before shipment
- Have a team of NFI Certified specialists
- Offer a lifetime warranty on any of its stainless steel burners, reflecting a
commitment to safety and quality
The Difference Between CSA Certified and “Tested in Compliance”:
There are many companies that say their products are “tested in compliance” with the ANSI Z21.97-2014 standard, which means that they have not been certified by the CSA organization and cannot carry the C/CUS marks. Asan informed consumer and dealer this should raise concerns for the following reasons:
- A fire feature that has not been properly tested and certified may pose a greater risk of malfunctioning, causing harm or death to users and their guests
- Should a non-certified fire feature malfunction, causing damage to the user’s property or surrounding properties, insurance companies will likely deny the claim. In turn, this shifts the burden of out-of-pocket costs to the owner of the non-certified fire feature. The C/CUS mark on a fire pit means it has been tested to and meets the approved safety standard, creating dealer, consumer and inspector confidence.
