As the leader of Canada’s standardization network, the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) worked with numerous stakeholders to address the duplication of standards used in Canada, and the duplication of effort of those involved in standards development activities. Concerns related to duplication were raised by stakeholders following SCC’s accreditation of two standards development organizations (SDOs): ASTM International and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Based on stakeholder feedback received to date, this report outlines the actions SCC is taking to address the duplication of standards and effort in Canada. SCC will continue to communicate and work alongside its stakeholders moving forward.
