What are CSA standards and where can I find them?

Last revised July 07, 2022

CSA Group – formerly Canadian Standards Association – is Canada’s largest standards development organization. They develop industry specific standards and codes that determine best practices, promote safer work environments, and improve product safety and performance for a wide range of industries.

Over 3000 CSA standards and codes are available for purchase through the CSA Online store in print and digital formats. Pricing varies from publication to publication.

Courthouse Libraries BC does not collect CSA standards, but they are available at other libraries. Some CSA publications can be found at Vancouver Public Library – you can check the VPL catalogue to see if they have the one you need. UBC Library also has an extensive collection of standards which can be searched through the UBC catalogue.
