CSA A660 Certification of manufactures of steel systems

The CSA A660 standard comprehensively covers all aspects of steel building manufacturers' production processes, including engineering design methods, personnel qualifications, material control, fabrication, storage, packaging, transportation, installation documentation, and quality assurance. It provides targeted quality management system requirements specifically for steel building system enterprises to ensure safety and reliability throughout all stages.

[Eligibility Requirements]

Manufacturers applying for CSA A660 certification must hold either CSA W47.1 Division 1 or 2 certification. If resistance welding is used, CSA W55.3 certification is also required. Additionally, enterprises must demonstrate a well-established quality management system and production, design, and management capabilities compliant with CSA A660 requirements. Audit content includes technical specifications for production processes, personnel qualifications and training programs, welding procedure compliance, and supply chain management effectiveness.
