The SCC is responsible for determining where and how Canada participates in international standardization activity. Participation in international standardization activity occurs through a SCC mirror committee (MC).

New MCs may be established as the result of a request from a Canadian applicant, or as the result of the formation of a new TC/SC in ISO or IEC. The criteria that the SCC uses when determining whether or not to establish a MC can be found in section 5 of the Requirements and Guidance – Participation in International Standardization.
