Standards Council of Canada

The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) is an organization that oversees the development and management of standards in Canada. Standards are agreed-upon guidelines or rules that ensure products, services, and systems are safe, reliable, and of quality. The SCC accredits other organizations that create these standards, ensuring they are developed fairly and consistently. This helps businesses, consumers, and governments have confidence in the safety and performance of various products and services across the country. Essentially, the SCC ensures that Canadian standards are trustworthy and promote safety, innovation, and competitiveness.
