is it acceptable to use a breaker panel that only has a CSA rating in the USA?
This will be installed on an industrial system that can be used in both USA and Canada. But I can't find a panel that has dual listings. And the Canadian customers and requiring us to only use components with the CSA on the labels... And they're fighting with us on using multiple part #'s, they want us to find something that we can use in either country

Canadian version
CQO18M100RB100

USA version
QO112M100PRB

The CSA marking must include the subscript letters "US" to indicate it has been listed to a product standard that applies in the US. The marking below indicates it meets both US and Canadian product standards. If it has no subscripts, it is only for use in Canada. If it just has the US subscript it is only for use in the US.
