All of our salt lamps are certified by official government bodies to match Canadian electrical safety standards. What exactly does this mean? The safety standards guarantee that you as a lamp user will not be exposed to electrocution risks while handling the lamp.
Canadian salt lamps need the following parts of the salt lamp to be certified to the AS/NZS 60598.2.4 standard as well as AS/NZS CISPR 15, in order to be sold in Canada.
- Globe holder.
- Power cord.
- Plug.
- Dimmer.
Each of these components needs to be marked with a safety approval stamp. This could be a RCM stamp, or also a SAA approval stamp. All of our components are SAA tested and approved to all relevant standards, and are compliant to safety standards for all the provinces of Canada. We are approved by the following regulatory authorities and programs:
- Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council
- Canadian Communications and Media Authority
- Canadian Competition and Consumer Commission
- Electrical Safety Office
- Energy Safe Canada
Not all salt lamp suppliers will have safety approval, as it is not thoroughly enforced by the above agencies, that's why it's best to check first.
