The standards committees are composed of representatives of relevant interests including producers, consumers and other users, retailers, gove
4、rnments, educational institutions, technical, professional and trade societies, and research and testing organizations. Any given standard is developed on the consensus of views expressed by such representatives. The Ministers Advisory Council on CGSB reviews the results of the consensus process. CG
5、SB has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada as a national standards-writing organization. The standards that it develops and offers as National Standards of Canada conform to the criteria and procedures established for this purpose by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to sta
6、ndards it publishes as national standards, CGSB produces standards to meet particular needs, in response to requests from a variety of sources in both the public and private sectors. Both CGSB standards and national standards developed by CGSB are developed in conformance with the policies described
7、 in the Policy Manual for the Development and Maintenance of Standards by CGSB. CGSB standards are subject to review and revision at any time, so as to ensure that they keep abreast of technological prog:ess. Suggestions for their improvement, which are always welcome, should be brought to the notic
8、e of the standards committees concerned. Changes to standards are issued either as separate amendment sheets or in new editions of standards. An up-to-date listing of CGSB standards, including details on latest issues and amendments, and ordering instructions, will be found in the CGSB Catalogue, wh

12、d Ottawa, Canada K1A 1G6 The STANDARDS COUNCIL OF CANADA is the Co-ordinating body of the National Standards System, a federation of independent, autonomous organizations working towards the further development and improvement of voluntary standardization in the national interest. The principal obje
13、ctives of the Council are to foster and promote voluntary standardization as a means of advancing the national economy, benefiting the health, safety and welfare of the public, assisting and protecting the consumer, facilitating domestic and international trade, and furthering international co-opera
14、tion in the field of standards. A National Standard of Canada is a standard which has been approved by the Standards Council of Canada and one which reflects a reasonable agreement among the views of a number of capable individuals whose collective interests provide, to the greatest practicable exte
15、nt, a balance of representation of producers, users, consumers and others with relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject in hand. It normally is a standard that is capable of making a significant and timely contribution to the national interest. Approval of a standard as a National St
16、andard of Canada indicates that a standard conforms to the criteria and procedures established by the Standards Council of Canada. Approval does not refer to the technical content of the standard; this remains the continuing responsibility of the accredited standards-writing organization. Those who
17、have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use National Standards of Canada whenever practicable. These standards are subiect to ueriodic review: therefore. users are a cautioned to obtiin the iatest edition from the organization preparing the standard. - The responsibility for approving Natio
