Through the collaborative efforts ofCanadian standardization network members, standardization ishelping to advance the

33、DO and approved by the SCCaccording to NSC approval requirements. Approval does not refer tothe technical content of the standard, as this remains theresponsibility of the SDO. An NSC reflects a consensus of a number ofcapable individuals whose collective interests provide, to the greatestpracticabl

35、to apply standards are encouraged to useNSCs. These standards are subjectto periodic review.
