In a major milestone for the Indian elevator components maker, Sharp Engineers, the company announced it has received the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification for its SEG-X7 gearless traction machine series. According to a statement, the certification, granted under CSA B44.1/ASME A17.5 standards, marks the first time an Indian-manufactured gearless traction machine has secured this approval category for North American markets.
The certification enables architects, elevator consultants, and developers in the United States and Canada to specify the company's machines for commercial and residential high-rise projects. Industry experts note that regulatory compliance remains one of the biggest barriers for Indian engineering exports in advanced markets, making the certification a notable achievement for the sector.
