About us
ULC Standards has been publishing standards for Canadians for over 60 years. As one of the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDO), we operate under the consensus based principles as required by the SCC under CAN-P-1(Accreditation of Standards Development Organizations). ULC Standards is also a signatory to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Technical Barrier to Trade Agreement, which outlines in Annex 3 the Code of Good Practice for the Preparation, Adoption and Application of Standards. There are 19 main standards committees at ULC responsible for over 200 standards with a membership of over 400. Each committee operates under a ULC secretariat, from the ULC standards department. ULC Standards utilizes electronic publishing and communication systems to create an effective standards development environment.
