New kind Hardrock Mining equipment drawing up to 1.5MW of external power, is arriving next week at our mine from Germany. It has no CSA Certification. Upon contact CSA wants some modification done before certification. The Provincial Govt. Mine's Inspector's office appears to want to pass. The mining engineer is not sure; asks my advice as the Focal Point for Electrical sign-off and Safety Standards. I have the task to say comply with CSA's demand or go with the Inspector's discretion. I am mindful of the Workers' Compensation Board in case someone gets hurt by the machine with no CSA stamp.
1. Which is the way to go?
2. Any idea of a Canadian Professional Engineer for Electric Powered Mining Equipment inspection for a 2nd opinion on the CSA idea of modification or his own certification?
CSA vs Inspection
