28、eopleand organizations involved in the development, promotion andimplementation of standards. Through the collaborative efforts ofCanadian standardization network members, standardization ishelping to advance the social and economic well-being of Canadaand to safeguard the health and safety of Canad
29、ians. The networksefforts are overseen by SCC.The principal objectives of SCC are to foster and promote voluntarystandardization as a means of advancing the national economy,supporting sustainable development, benefiting the health, safetyand welfare of workers and the public, assisting and protecti
30、ng theconsumer, facilitating domestic and international trade, andfurthering international cooperation in relation to standardization.An important facet of the Canadian standards development systemis the use of the following principles: consensus; equal access andeffective participation by concerned
31、 interests; respect for diverseinterests and identification of those who should be afforded accessto provide the needed balance of interests; mechanism for disputeresolution; openness and transparency; open access by interestedparties to the procedures guiding the standards developmentprocess; clari
32、ty with respect to the processes; and Canadian interestconsideration as the initial basis for the development of standards.A National Standard of Canada (NSC) is a standard prepared orreviewed by an SCC-accredited SDO and approved by the SCCaccording to NSC approval requirements. Approval does not r
33、efer tothe technical content of the standard, as this remains theresponsibility of the SDO. An NSC reflects a consensus of a numberof capable individuals whose collective interests provide, to thegreatest practicable extent, a balance of representation of generalinterests, producers, regulators, use
34、rs (including consumers) andothers with relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subjectat hand. NSCs are intended to make a significant and timelycontribution to the Canadian interest.Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to useNSCs. These standards are subject to periodic
35、 review. Users of NSCsare cautioned to obtain the latest edition from the SDO thatpublishes the standard.The responsibility for approving standards as NSCs rests withStandards Council of Canada270 Albert Street, Suite 200Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 6N7CanadaCette Norme Nationale du Canada est disponible en
