The testing and certification organization CSA has officially set up its Guangzhou lab with the addition of new energy efficiency verification (EEV) testing equipment and added capabilities.

Located in the Guangzhou High-tech Development Zone, the lab comprises an area of over 3,800 m2. The expanded facility is the second CSA Guangzhou laboratory, which supplies LED lighting testing and certification services as well as energy efficiency verification (EEV) services.

According to Ash Sahi, President and CEO, CSA Group, "The expansion to the Guangzhou lab further demonstrates CSA's continued commitment to expanding operations in Asia to provide its clients highly sophisticated and innovative localized testing and certification services for global markets. CSA's growth in China and throughout Asia is fundamental to its global business strategy and goal to become the first choice in providing global testing and certification services."

In 2008, CSA established a joint venture, CCIC-CSA International Certification Company Limited, with China Certification and Inspection Group (CCIC). In November 2008, CSA International opened its first China testing and certification laboratory in Guangzhou, strengthening its commitment to the China market.
