Is the Ladder-Aide CSA-approved? Most safety authorities require approval of certain products by Nationally Recognized Testing Labs (NRTLs), like CSA or UL. For example, OSHA’s list of products requiring NRTL approval is available here: https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/prodcatg.html. The Ladder-Aide does not require this approval, as it is not a ladder.

Le Ladder-Aide est-il approuvé par le Groupe CSA ? La plupart des autorités de sécurité nécessitent l’approbation de certains produits par des laboratoires d’essais reconnus au niveau national (les NRTL), tels que le Groupe CSA ou les UL. Par exemple, la liste des produits OSHA nécessitant l’approbation d’un NRTL est disponible à l’adresse suivante : https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/prodcatg.html. Le Ladder-Aide n’a pas besoin de cette approbation, car il n’est pas une échelle.
