Note: when you look at all the marks used in the Garland
group, you will notice that GCR uses only CSA and GCI uses
predominantly UL. The reason for this comes down to two
reasons.
1. Geography – CSA is located in Toronto and very close to
GCR. This helps keep approval costs to a minimum and
improves response time for CSA.
UL is located in Mellville, NY, which is only two hours
away from GCI. UL is used because of their relatively close
proximity to GCI.
2. Relationships – GCR and GCI have close relationships with
CSA and UL respectively. Over time a level of trust has
developed between Garland and the certifying bodies.
Making the approval process run very smoothly
