Electrical products imported or sold in Canada must be certified as being compliant with the technical requirements established in the Canadian Electric Code. A certification body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) may conduct electrical safety testing for products within the scope of its SCC accreditation. They can authorise the use of its mark in connection with the sale or importation of electrical products.
