Information Technology & Telecommunication
The world depends on fast, reliable communications systems. Standards are essential to ensure technical compatibility and efficient operation. From the "nuts and bolts" of basic telephone wiring and equipment to the complex elements of information technology-programming languages, networking, inter-compatibility between system elements, security- Canadian Standards Associations (CSA) is the Canadian source for standards-based solutions.
For more than 20 years, CSA has worked with internationally recognized standards organizations, such as ISO/IEC JTC1 and ANSI committees, to ensure that national businesses have access to hundreds of up-to-date international standards for communications CSA committees influence the requirements in these standards, and then adopt or adapt them to meet Canadian needs. CSA also develops uniquely Canadian solutions where the need exists.
