Clean Energy Research

CSA's OnDemand database is the first place you should look for CSA standards. However, there are additional sources for CSA standards as well. 

• Superseded CSA Standards (195? - 1995) are in the ASRS storage in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. Request these through the Library's CSA Standards Collection online record. Note: When selecting the appropriate box, scroll through the entire list of holdings to find the superseded standards. 
• The CCOHS database has many CSA standards in their Legislation section
• The CSA Community Group (free registration required) provides some view access to a selection of standards. 

If you are unable to find what you're looking for, contact a librarian under the Getting Started page in this guide.
