Objectives Health Canada is moving towards new data exchange standards to align with international standards and to provide product labeling that preserves human readability and facilitates machine processing. Under the Investment Plan Initiatives, several improvements will be made to overall efficiencies allowing the Department to better protect the Health of Canadians.
Within these projects, common requirements have arisen particularly in the regulatory modernization and managing document mark-up standards. Health Canada requires the services of experienced Data Conversion Consultants to adopt data exchange standards that align with international standards and external partners.

The SPL format is being considered for adoption by other health product regulatory authorities and it is becoming the internationally adopted standard for structured drug related information.
Health Canada requires the services of four (4) well governed TBIPS I.1 Data Conversion Specialists – Level 2. The conversion specialists will support Health Canada in adopting this new data exchange standard to align with international standards and external partners on an “as and when required basis”.
