Accreditation signals efforts to deliver standardisation that better serves the needs of users across Canada
The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) has received accreditation from the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), enabling the IEEE SA’s entry into SCC’s network of accredited SDOs.
SCC’s accreditation sends a clear message that stakeholders can rely on IEEE global standards and the integrity of processes by which they are developed. As an SCC-accredited SDO, IEEE SA can submit IEEE standards to SCC for adoption as National Standards of Canada. Standards help ensure that the technology society relies on functions safely, securely, and sustainably.
“The IEEE SA’s open, collaborative environment offers a multitude of pathways to achieve technically sound and implementable outcomes that help address market needs as well as societal ones. The recent SCC accreditation is another example demonstrating the trust the world places in us, our standardisation environment, our communities, and our standards,” said Alpesh Shah, Managing Director, IEEE SA.
SCC works with a vast network of partners nationally and around the world, acting as Canada’s voice on standards and accreditation on the international stage, while also serving as a major Canadian accreditation organisation.
“Collaboration is at the heart of standardisation,” said Chantal Guay, CEO of Standards Council of Canada. “We are delighted to have IEEE SA join our network of accredited SDOs, which fosters trust in the systems, products and services that benefit industry, government and consumers.”
