Canadian Certification Body (CB) - SCC

Ensure compliance with the Canadian Electric Code

Electrical products sold or imported in Canada must be certified as compliant with technical requirements established in the Canadian Electric Code. Manufacturers and importers may work with any certification body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) to obtain certification that their products comply.

Electrical products that comply with applicable safety standards may display the certification mark of the SCC accredited certification body that performed the evaluation. Any certification body accredited by the SCC may conduct electrical safety testing for products within the scope of its accreditation and authorize the use of its mark in connection with the sale or importation of electrical products. Compliance with the requirements of the Canadian Electric Code is mandatory for electrical and electronic products sold or imported throughout Canada.

Ensuring your products comply with Canada’s national electrical code means you can:

• Avoid fines, penalties or bans for selling products without certification
• Demonstrate your commitment to consumer and product safety
• Access the enormous Canadian market
