CASIS: Canadian Automotive Service Information Standard

Vehicle Security Information

During the development of the CASIS agreement it was identified that some of the key components of the US Secure Data Release Model (SDRM) have no Canadian equivalent. For example, Canada has no national locksmith association to act as ALOA does in the SDRM. Furthermore, Canadian privacy laws prohibit relaying any individual's personal information across the border into the US, and third parties cannot obtain a criminal record check on individuals in Canada. Therefore, the vetting and registration of vehicle security professionals in Canada would have to be a uniquely Canadian process. The CASIS agreement acknowledges that a Canadian equivalent to the US SDRM will be reached, but it would take more time than the rest of the provisions of the CASIS. The CASIS Task Force is working diligently to ensure that vehicle security information will be available without undue delay. Much progress has already been made and further updates will be made available in due course.
