Regulatory Authority Advisory Bodies
SCC’s collaboration with Regulatory Authorities and Advisory Bodies
Regulatory Authority Advisory Bodies (RAABs) include federal, provincial, and territorial public safety and energy efficiency regulators. They work together to coordinate regulations and promote consistency among jurisdictions concerning regulations, standards, other recognized documents, and enforcement practices.
SCC plays a critical role in supporting this harmonization with many RAABs, including:
- Canadian Advisory Council on Electrical Safety (CACES)
- Canadian Advisory Council on Energy Efficiency
- Canadian Regulatory Council on Plumbing
- Interprovincial Gas Advisory Council
SCC provides expert guidance to promote harmonization, ensuring a consistent and unified public safety framework.
Examples
- Supporting the development of a National Standard of Canada to harmonize requirements of power engineers when they move from one jurisdiction to another, enhancing labour mobility and trade.
- Collaborating with CACES to develop a nationwide approach to prevent online sales of unapproved consumer electrical products.
Contact RAABs
Certification bodies accredited by SCC must establish ongoing documented working relationships with applicable Canadian regulatory authorities in their field. Contact information for these advisory bodies is provided below.
