Management Systems

We are the only internationally recognized accreditation body in Canada offering the Management Systems Accreditation Program, which is based on ISO/IEC 17021-1, the international standard for providing management systems audit and certification. 

Organizations implementing management systems standards like ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO/IEC 27001 often turn to SCC-accredited certification bodies for third-party oversight. Reasons include procurement eligibility requirements, regulatory compliance and competitive differentiation.

We are signatories to the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) for most of our management systems sub-programs. This means that certification by SCC-accredited certification bodies in these sub-programs is widely accepted internationally. Additionally, to uphold our signatory status, we undergo peer evaluations by the Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC), further enhancing trust.

This SCC accreditation signals that an organization is qualified to audit and certify management systems, ensuring that standards are applied correctly and consistently. We create a foundation of trust by ‘checking the checkers’ and making sure certification bodies meet the requirements of national and international standards.
