NEW YEAR, NEW COR STANDARD
New Harmonized Audit Tool
The SCSA will be using a new harmonized audit tool for all COR® audits going forward in 2023.

This new tool will be used for all COR® external and internal audits, NCSO™ and NHSA™ maintenance audits, and self audits.

Auditors are encouraged to pay close attention to the updated guidelines and criteria, especially in awarding partial points on certain questions.

Companies with COR® accreditation in more than one province, or seeking equivalency in other provinces, should find the certification easier to obtain and maintain with the updated national standard.

Find more detail and view a video with an SCSA auditor on the COR updates page or download the harmonized audit tool here.
