Signal Transformer maintains an in-house ISO 17025 certified laboratory that enables us to participate in CSA's Supervised Manufacturer's Testing for Certification (SMTC). This program makes it possible to certify and use the CSA / cCSAus mark on new designs within days.

Significance of the SMTC Program

What is the SMTC and why is it of significance to Signal and our customers? This program allows designated Signal Transformer engineering personnel to test and evaluate both catalog and custom transformers to CSA and UL transformer standards. Upon successful completion of tests, the results are supplied to CSA whereupon the CSA engineer reviews the results and grants Signal the authorization to “certify” the component. This process may require as little as 3 days after transformer samples are provided to Signal's engineering department.

Unique Accreditation to the SMTC Program

Signal Transformer is the only transformer manufacturer in the United States having such accreditation to the SMTC program. In addition, Signal Transformer's engineering director is one of four registered Delegate's on the United States National Committee, (USNC) Technical Committee, (TC) 96 for the International Electro-technical Commission, (IEC). National Committee Delegates have the responsibility and authority to revise and mandate changes to the relevant IEC standards.

USNC Delegates represent the voice of US transformer manufacturers and have intimate firsthand knowledge of any pending changes and or revisions to the relevant IEC standards. Having this association allows Signal's engineering staff to maintain vigilant standards oversight.

Signal Transformer's ISO 17025 Certified Laboratory

One of the unique advantages Signal Transformer bring to the wire wound magnetic engineer is our in-house ISO 17025 certified laboratory that enables us to participate in the CSA Shared Manufacturers Testing and Certification, (SMTC) program. This program makes it possible to certify and use the CSA /cCSAus mark on new designs within days.
