The Canadian Automotive Service Information Standard is a comprehensive, voluntary agreement aimed at ensuring the automotive aftermarket has easy access to emission and non-emission related service information, diagnostic tools and training information similar to the standard established under NASTF in the U.S.

CASIS will enhance consumer choice for automotive service and repair in Canada as consumers can choose to have their vehicle repaired at an authorized OEM dealership or an independent service and repair shop.

CASIS Goals

1. To provide easy access to Service Information, OEM Tools and Training Information to Service Providers for diagnosis and repair at Commercially Reasonable Prices.
2. To make Tool Information available to Service Providers from OEMs or equipment and tool company suppliers
