Notice No. SMSE–014–11 — CB–01, Issue 4, CB–02, Issue 6, DES–CB, Issue 3, and DES–LAB(E), Issue 5
Notice is hereby given that Industry Canada is releasing the following documents:
1. CB–01, Issue 4, Requirements for Certification Bodies;
3. DES–CB, Issue 3, Procedure for the Designation of Canadian Certification Bodies (CB) by Industry Canada; and
4. DES–LAB(E), Issue 5, Procedure for Designation and Recognition of Canadian Testing Laboratories by Industry Canada.
The following changes have been introduced:
1. CB–01, Issue 4, has been updated to apply to both Canadian and foreign certification bodies (CBs), by moving existing requirements for foreign CBs from REC–CB into CB–01. This update consolidates the recognition procedures in a single document. With the release of this update, CB–01 will supersede REC–CB.
2. The Cross–Reference Checklist table, formerly in Appendix II of CB–01, Issue 3, has been moved to Annex A of CB–02, Issue 6. This will allow updates to CB–02 in the future without affecting CB–01. The table has also been updated with regard to the changes introduced in CB–02, Issue 6.
3. The product audit section of CB–02, Issue 6, has been updated to provide clarifications on audit requirements. This update clarifies how to calculate the number of products to be targeted for audit by the certification bodies within a calendar year.
4. References to ISO/IEC standards have been changed from specific editions to the latest editions in all the above documents.
5. Contact information for Industry Canada has been updated in all the above documents.
CB–01, Issue 4, CB–02, Issue 6, DES–CB, Issue 3, and DES–LAB(E), Issue 5, will come into effect upon publication of this notice.
