FAQs
What safety certifications do your electrical fixtures in Rockwood carry?
All our fixtures comply with CSA and UL listings, meeting both Canadian and U.S. safety standards. Additionally, they satisfy the latest requirements of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) and are approved by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) for installation in Rockwood homes and businesses.
How do you ensure the fixtures are safe for residential use?
Each product undergoes a multi-stage quality control process, including dielectric voltage testing, grounding continuity checks, and thermal endurance trials. Before any fixture reaches our shelves, it must pass third-party lab verification and in-house inspections to guarantee arc-fault mitigation, proper insulation, and over-current protection suitable for everyday household environments.
Are your lighting fixtures rated for damp or wet locations?
Yes. We label every fixture with its IP (Ingress Protection) code and location rating. Fixtures designated for bathrooms, kitchens, or outdoor use are tested for moisture, condensation, and corrosion resistance to ensure safe operation in damp or wet conditions common to Rockwood’s climate.
Do your products contain any hazardous materials like lead or mercury?
No. All fixtures are RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning they are free from lead, mercury, cadmium, and other restricted materials. This safeguards occupants from toxic exposure and simplifies environmentally responsible disposal or recycling when the fixture reaches end-of-life.
What steps should I follow to install these fixtures safely?
Always switch off power at the breaker panel, verify voltage with a non-contact tester, and follow the included ESA-approved wiring diagram. Use CSA-certified connectors, ensure ground continuity, and secure all mounting hardware to a stable surface. If you’re unfamiliar with electrical work, hire a licensed Rockwood electrician to maintain warranty and compliance with local codes.
How do you handle product recalls or safety alerts?
We maintain a real-time traceability system tied to each fixture’s serial number. If a defect is detected, customers receive immediate email and phone notifications with clear remediation steps—repair, replacement, or refund—at no cost. We also coordinate directly with ESA inspectors and post public notices on our website and social media channels to maximize outreach.
