22、 in standards development and certification activities.

The standards are used widely by industry and commerce and

23、often adopted by municipal, provincial, and federal governments in their regulations, particularly in the fields of health, safety, building and construction, and the environment. Individuals, companies, and associations across Canada indicate their support for CSA Groups standards development by vo

29、 development, promotion and implementation of standards. Through the collaborative efforts of Canadian standardization network members, standardization is helping to advance the social and economic well-being of Canada and to safeguard the health and safety of Canadians. The networks efforts are ove

30、rseen by SCC. The principal objectives of SCC are to foster and promote voluntary standardization as a means of advancing the national economy, supporting sustainable development, benefiting the health, safety and welfare of workers and the public, assisting and protecting the consumer, facilitating

31、 domestic and international trade, and furthering international cooperation in relation to standardization. An important facet of the Canadian standards development system is the use of the following principles: consensus; equal access and effective participation by concerned interests; respect for

32、diverse interests and identification of those who should be afforded access to provide the needed balance of interests; mechanism for dispute resolution; openness and transparency; open access by interested parties to the procedures guiding the standards development process; clarity with respect to

33、the processes; and Canadian interest consideration as the initial basis for the development of standards. A National Standard of Canada (NSC) is a standard prepared or reviewed by an SCC-accredited SDO and approved by the SCC according to NSC approval requirements. Approval does not refer to the tec

34、hnical content of the standard, as this remains the responsibility of the SDO. An NSC reflects a consensus of a number of capable individuals whose collective interests provide, to the greatest practicable extent, a balance of representation of general interests, producers, regulators, users (includ

35、ing consumers) and others with relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject at hand. NSCs are intended to make a significant and timely contribution to the Canadian interest. Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use NSCs. These standards are subject to periodic revi

36、ew. Users of NSCs are cautioned to obtain the latest edition from the SDO that publishes the standard. The responsibility for approving standards as NSCs rests with Standards Council of Canada 270 Albert Street, Suite 200 Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 6N7 CanadaCette Norme Nationale du Canada est disponible
