    Special Inspections on Electrical Devices

    A silicon Wafer for SEMI S2 at QAI Laboratories

    All electrical and similar consumer or commercial products sold in Canada are required to be certified by a Certification Body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada.

    Special Inspections in Canada

    Electrical equipment tested in accordance to this Model Code is intended to be conducted by an inspection body accredited by Standards Council of Canada (SCC).

    Inspection body accreditation is the process of assessing and publicly recognizing the integrity, reliability, and technical competence of an organization’s inspection services.

    Accreditation from the SCC for SPE-1000 means QAI can test and label and that we conform to an accepted set of standard requirements.
