The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) is one of the largest standards development and conformity assessment organizations in Canada.
The CGSB provides standards development and conformity assessment services, including programs for certification of products and services, registration of quality and environmental management systems, and related services. These services are provided in support of economic, regulatory, procurement, health, safety and environmental interests.
The CGSB aims to meet the needs and expectations of consumers, industry producers and suppliers, procurement officers, regulators, academia and scientific organizations in Canada and in the global marketplace with effective, economical and timely service.
The CGSB offers a broad range of standards development services. Standards and specifications are developed through a consensus approach by committees of volunteers who are experts in their field and who represent a balance of interested parties. The CGSB has approximately 1300 standards and specifications, covering a wide range of subject areas.
The CGSB operates certification and qualification programs where products and services are assessed against performance and quality standards. The programs are either a voluntary and impartial mechanism by which suppliers can demonstrate to potential buyers the value of their goods and services, or a mandatory requirement for certain government procurement requests.
