UL’s Proposed National Adoption of Canada for ISO 10377, Standard for Consumer Product Safety – Guidelines for Suppliers

UL was recently contracted by the SCC to facilitate the adoption of ISO 10377 as a National Adoption for Canada.  ISO 10377 is a guideline to assist suppliers in managing consumer product safety issues. As a National Adoption, stakeholders will be asked to identify specific and necessary national differences (if any) from a Canadian perspective with a particular focus on small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to support their needs in identifying, preventing, or responding to real or potential dangers to human health or safety associated with consumer products.

Rather than use a traditional approach for the national adoption process, UL’s work under the contract with SCC involves piloting a virtual approach for the standards development process.  The pilot will involve forming a virtual committee to review ISO 10377 and identify national differences for Canada.  Although the pilot will use online tools, and communication with affected stakeholders will be virtual, the approach will meet all SCC standards development requirements for a National Adoption of Canada. It will also ensure openness and transparency throughout the consensus process. As part of the pilot, participants, like you, will have the option to review select portions of ISO 10377, or the standard in its entirety, depending on one’s interest or expertise.

At this time we are inviting interested parties to participate in this effort. Our approach will involve direct engagement to identified key stakeholders as well as broad outreach via social media and other online platforms to ensure participation is reflective of all voices and Canadian interests and needs are met.  

Interested in Participating?

Participation is easy.  UL’s online Collaborative Standards Development System (CSDS) is being used to facilitate the review of ISO 10377.  So we can include you in the project, email  UL.StandardsSurvey@ul.com.  

Learn More by Attending a Webinar

We are hosting a webinar on Tuesday, July 26, 2016 to share details about the review and collaboration approach, describe next steps in the process, and answer your questions. Please email UL.StandardsSurvey@ul.com to let us know you are interested in attending the webinar. 

More information on participation and the virtual approach can be found here on the UL website: http://ulstandards.ul.com/downloads/canadian-national-adoption-of-iso-10377/
