What is the SCC?
The Stockholm Chamber of Commerce Arbitration Institute (SCC) sits within, yet operates autonomously from, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. The Institute was founded in 1917. In the 1970s, the United States and the Soviet Union recognised the SCC as a neutral centre for resolving trade disputes. As a result, it remains a preferred venue for East/West cases, that is, disputes involving one or more parties from North America or Europe and one or more parties from Russia, China, or states of the former Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
Over the past 25 years, filings at the SCC have grown substantially, and the institution has become one of the most important and most frequently used arbitration institutions globally. The SCC’s latest statistics can be found on its website (see also Practice Note: Arbitration statistics and surveys).
The SCC manages a wide range of

Introduction to the SCC’s UNCITRAL procedures
The Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) has for many years participated in arbitrations under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, most commonly in the role of appointing authority. From 1 January 2015, the SCC amended its procedures to reflect the two distinct functions it may perform under those Rules—as appointing authority and as administering body. You should note that varying Schedules of Costs apply based on the date your arbitration was commenced under the 2015 SCC Procedures for the Administration of Cases under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (2015 SCC UNCITRAL Administration Procedures). Where a 2015 SCC UNCITRAL Administration Procedures arbitration began before 1 January 2020, you must consult the Schedule of Costs contained in the version applicable to that earlier period. Likewise, for any 2015 SCC UNCITRAL Administration Procedures arbitration started on or after 1 January 2020, you must
