Governance
Appointed by the federal government, SCC’s governing Council is responsible for overseeing the strategic direction of the organization. The Council also ensures the fulfillment of SCC’s mandate, and provides guidance on governance matters. In addition, the Council works closely with SCC’s management in the development of policy items and provides advice on SCC’s strategic direction. This work includes: accreditation of standards development and conformity assessment organizations; approval of standards submitted as National Standards of Canada (NSCs); adoption of relevant policies to support SCC programs and services; and approval of budgets and audited financial statements.
