CSA Group is a not-for-profit membership-based association serving business,
industry, government and consumers in Canada and the global marketplace.As
a solutions-oriented organization, they work in Canada and around the world to
develop standards that address real needs, such as enhancing public safety and
health.
"The CSA is another Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) which has
approved the CorDEX IW Series Intelligent IR Windows. The approval of the IW
Series Intelligent infrared windows compliments our extensive, UL Certification
for Type 3/12 installations and cUL recognition. The additon of CSA certification
gives confidence to our US and Canadian customers alike who are concerned
about NFPA70E and also CSA Z462 safety compliance," states Tony Holliday,
Managing Director of CorDEX Instruments.
Holliday continues, "IW Series Intelligent IR Windows enable accurate
measurement of internal electrical equipment using unique calibration maps
created for each individual IR Window. Accurate measurement means no false
alarms and close door inspections mean reduced cost and increased safety."
CorDEX Instruments is focusing on IR Window research and developing cutting-
edge technology to enhance electrical equipment inspection safety practices
globally. The company is a leading UK manufacturer of hand-held intrinsically
safe and non-destructive testing (NDT) devices which are used by industry
around the world. CorDEX’s IR Windows take inspection and predictive
maintenance to a new level of safety, efficiency and accuracy making it safer
and faster to work in hazardous environments than ever before.
Gregg Purple, CorDEX Director of Sales North America continues, "NFPA 70E is a
set of regulations relating to electrical safety in the workplace. NFPA 70E is
referred by OSHA as a Recognized Industry Practice, which if followed helps
prevent injury to personnel when working on or near electrical equipment.
Specifically, NFPA 70E has brought to light the dangers of electrical arc flash
and puts into place procedures to help workers work safely in potentially
dangerous areas. CorDEX IW Series IR windows enable compliance with these
and other global safety regulatory organizations like CSA, to enable the safest,
most efficient and most effective performance work practices within hazardous
environments."
IR Windows reduce the risk of arc flash by eliminating the need to remove
covers and panels from live/energized equipment. With IR Windows it is
possible to inspect live electrical equipment quickly and safely with minimal
exposure. To learn more about IR Windows, Installations and Applications, visit
