Nuclear Safety with High Quality

We are the only internationally recognized accreditation body in Canada offering management systems accreditation for nuclear safety. As a pre-requisite, certification bodies must also be accredited to ISO/IEC 17021-1.

Organizations implementing the CSA N299 standard often turn to SCC-accredited certification bodies for third-party oversight. Reasons include procurement eligibility requirements, regulatory compliance and competitive differentiation.
