Warning Label Requirements & Placement
Required Warning Labels
CSA standards and manufacturer requirements mandate specific warning labels on garage door systems. These labels serve as the last line of defense in communicating hazards to users and service personnel.
Door Labels
Pinch point warning - on interior panel joints
Spring hazard - near torsion spring assembly
Bottom bracket warning - "Do not remove" label
Weight warning - door weight and balance information
Opener Labels
Emergency release - operation instructions near handle
Force adjustment - instructions near adjustment controls
Wall control - "Keep remote away from children"
Entrapment - safety testing instructions
Label Placement Rules
- Labels must be visible without requiring disassembly
- Labels must be in English and French (bilingual requirement in Canada)
- Labels must be durable - resistant to fading, peeling, and moisture
- Labels must not be painted over, removed, or obscured during maintenance
Bilingual Requirements
In Canada, warning labels on consumer products must be in both English and French under federal consumer protection laws. Verify that all labels are bilingual during installation and maintenance.
Warning labels must be present, visible, durable, and bilingual (English and French). Never paint over or remove labels during maintenance. Replace damaged or missing labels with manufacturer-provided replacements.
