ISO certification in Canada is a process that involves complying with the requirements of various ISO standards and obtaining certification from a certification body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). Some of the most common ISO standards for which organizations seek certification in Canada include:
ISO 9001 - Quality management system (QMS) requirements
ISO 14001 - Environmental management system (EMS) requirements
ISO 45001 - Occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) requirements
ISO 22000 - Food safety management system requirements
The process of obtaining ISO certification in Canada typically involves the following steps:
Conducting a gap analysis to identify areas where the organization needs to improve its processes and procedures to meet the requirements of the ISO standard.
Implementing changes to its processes and procedures to comply with the ISO standard.
Conducting an internal audit to ensure that the organization is meeting the requirements of the ISO standard.
Engaging a certification body accredited by SCC to conduct an external audit of the organization's processes and procedures to ensure compliance with the ISO standard.
Receiving a certificate of conformity from the certification body if the organization meets the requirements of the ISO standard.
ISO certification in Canada is not mandatory, but many organizations choose to obtain it to demonstrate their commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, information security, occupational health and safety, or food safety management. The certification can also be a requirement for some contracts or tenders in certain industries.
