The American / Foreign OEM
Market entry into Canada
"You built something great. Here's how to sell it in Canada."
CE means nothing in North America. Field approval of imported equipment runs ~$5,000 per inspector trip — often twice. We are the Canadian arm: assess against CSA B149.3, map the field-approval / labelling route before you ship, get it approved, and coordinate the install so the "small Canadian market" stops being a dead end.
- Field-approval / labelling route mapped up front
- Governing standard is B149.3 — a program we've operated firsthand
- Optional: act as your ongoing Canadian compliance arm
Scope my market entry →
Starts with a Compliance Gap Analysis (2–3 days). From there we coordinate approval and installation, with an optional ongoing retainer.
The Gas Fitter Blocked by the AHJ
Get the permit unstuck
"The permit was denied. Here's how to get it unstuck."
An inspector said no and you're losing days. We diagnose exactly why it failed, what the code and the AHJ actually require, and the shortest defensible path to yes — backed by CSA committee-level knowledge of the rules.
- Rapid read on the denial and the governing clause
- Corrective route the AHJ will accept
- Escalation language for when the AHJ is wrong

The Gas Fitter Stuck on a Technical Problem
Find the answer in the code
"The code has the answer. Here's how to find it."
The answer exists in B149.1 / .3 / .6 — but it's a fight to locate and apply it under pressure. Get an expert interpretation, not a forum guess, and move on with confidence.
- Direct code interpretation with the intent behind it
- The B149.1-20 → -25 delta, explained where it bites
- Recurring pattern? Systematize it with a gap analysis

The Manufacturer with a Compliance Puzzle
Get it labelled & compliant
"You built it. Here's how to get it labelled."
You have a product and a labelling / certification puzzle blocking sale. We map the route to a defensible label and coordinate the approvals — without you becoming a standards expert overnight.
- Which standard applies, and the evidence it demands
- Path to field or certified labelling
- Coordination with the certifying / approval body

Starts with a Compliance Gap Analysis (2–3 days). From there we route you to a defensible label and coordinate the certifying body.
The Company Needing an IB Program
Build a management system that passes
"Accreditation requires a management system. Here's how to build one that passes."
SCC / IBAP accreditation isn't paperwork — it's a working management system an assessor will test. We've operated a live B149.3 IB program, so we build the system that passes because it actually runs.
- Gap analysis against the accreditation requirements
- Management-system build, scoped to your size
- SCC application support, then an ongoing retainer
