The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) (French: Conseil canadien des normes (CCN)) is a Canadian crown corporation with the mandate to promote voluntary standardization in Canada. The SCC is responsible for:
- Accreditation of standards development and conformity assessment organizations;
- Approval of standards submitted as National Standards of Canada (NSC);
- Adoption of relevant policies to support SCC programs and services; and
- Approval of budgets and audited financial statements.
The SCC has a governing council that oversees the organization and an executive staff that is responsible for the operation of the organization. The organization reports to Parliament of Canada through the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.[2] It receives some funding from the federal government as well as revenue from accreditation services and donations from individuals and organizations in support of international standardization work.[3]
The SCC represents Canada in the ISO and IEC.
