What Is CSA Approved?

CSA approval means that a product, like a pair of work boots, has been independently tested and certified by the Canadian Standards Association to meet strict safety requirements. For footwear, this includes protection against impact, compression, punctures, electrical hazards, and more, depending on the job’s needs. CSA approved boots will carry symbols like the green triangle or orange omega label, which tell you exactly what type of protection they offer. When you see “CSA approved,” you know the boots are built for the real risks of the workplace and meet legal standards across many Canadian industries.

How Can You Tell If Boots Are CSA Approved?

To check if a pair of boots is CSA approved boots, look for a certified label or symbol, usually found on the tongue, lining, or inside the boot shaft. CSA-approved footwear will have a clearly marked tag showing specific icons like a green triangle (puncture and toe protection), orange omega symbol (electrical hazard protection), or white rectangle with the letter "R" (static dissipation). These symbols are regulated by the Canadian Standards Association and indicate the exact level of protection the boot offers. If the label is missing or unclear, the boots are likely not CSA certified.
