Standards Council of Canada

The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) is a Canadian crown corporation established in 1970 to promote voluntary standardization in Canada. It operates under the mandate to advance the national economy, support sustainable development, enhance public health and safety, and facilitate both domestic and international trade.

Overview

The SCC is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, and operates with the mission of fostering and promoting efficient voluntary standardization across the country. It is funded partly by parliamentary appropriations and also generates revenue through accreditation services.

Responsibilities

The SCC is responsible for several key functions:

  • Accreditation: The SCC accredits organizations involved in standards development and conformity assessment. This includes accrediting Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) and global certification bodies.
  • Approval of National Standards: The SCC approves standards submitted as National Standards of Canada (NSC), ensuring these standards meet the necessary criteria for adoption.
  • Policy Development: The SCC develops policies to support its programs and services, aligning with national goals and priorities.
  • Financial Management: The SCC approves budgets and audited financial statements to ensure transparent operations.

Governance and Operations

The SCC is overseen by a governing council and managed by an executive staff. It reports to the Parliament of Canada through the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.

International Representation

The SCC represents Canada in international standardization organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Standards Development

The SCC develops and implements the National Standards Strategy, a comprehensive plan to align voluntary technical standards with national social and business objectives. Over 12,500 Canadian volunteers contribute to the development of international standards through committees and SDOs accredited by the SCC.

Impact

Through its accreditation and standards development activities, the SCC contributes to increased competition in the certification market and helps reduce the time-to-market for products requiring certification. This fosters innovation and competitiveness among Canadian businesses, aligning with national economic and trade goals.
