Development Services
Overview
As an active participant in the National Standards System of Canada,
the CGSB offers a wide range of standards development services,
including development of National
Standards of Canada (NSC), CGSB standards, specifications, and Government
of Canada (GC) forms and support to the development of International (ISO) Standards.
Our standards development services are used to:

- harmonize diverse standards,
- provide a sound quality base for products and services,
- support the CGSB and other conformity assessment programs,
- help Canadians compete internationally, and
- support stakeholders' economic, regulatory, health, safety and
environmental interests.
