When designing and manufacturing outdoor hearth and patio products, safety and reliability are key. Yet gas grills alone cause an average of 7,900 home fires in the U.S. every year. More than a third of those fires result from product flaws like leaks or breaks.

Customers expect their gas grills, barbecue appliances, fireplaces, patio heaters, and wood stoves to run safely and efficiently. They demand assurance that their buying decisions won’t put their home and family at risk.
CSA Group provides that peace of mind by rigorously testing and certifying a wide range of hearth and patio products. Customers associate our mark with quality and reliability and often base their brand selection on seeing it on your products.
