I guess I am not explaining myself properly. I am not trying to avoid any device - maybe lack of leadership from previous management but we were accepting battery operated devices without any approval from the appropriate certifying authorityie CSA, UL but must have a c at the eight 'O' clock position same as TUV etc.

Now one of our wonderful Engineers with our Electrical Inspector for the Province deems we must have this mark on battery operated devices ( Canada does not recognise the CE mark). Where does this authority/regulation come from?
