This data reference standard is part of a suite that provides a standard list of values to categorize data on person(s).
The list reflects the classifications of sex assigned at birth and is designed to provide common data variables of the reported sex at birth, typically assigned based on a person’s reproductive system and other physical characteristics.
This data reference standard is to be used by exception and read in conjunction with Policy Direction to Modernize the Government of Canada’s Sex and Gender Information Practices and the Disaggregated Data Action Plan.
This list of values is intended to standardize the way sex assigned at birth classifications are coded in datasets to enable data interoperability and improve data quality. The numbering system is a one-digit code.
The appendix lists a data reference table that includes the one-digit codes for designating sex assigned at birth.
Not included in this data reference standard is the lived or current sex of person(s).
This data reference standard will be reviewed as required by the data reference steward in consultation with the data reference standard custodian.
