GCStandards is a product prepared outside the accreditation system, which means that it is a product that is specifically for the government when it does not need a standard from the accreditation system.
Let's take Fisheries and Oceans Canada, for example. Perhaps the department wants a document. We haven't yet started working with that department, but it is requesting a document for the “e-log” program.
That might be a GC standard because we do not really need Canadian consultation. It is intended to be used only in the department's program. It isn't a standard that will be used by the industry or purchased by the public. So it is a very specific service.
