International Testing: Canada
RADIO TYPE APPROVALS
Radio-communication or other intentional radiators require compliance to applicable Industry Canada Spectrum Management requirements to market the products in Canada but not required for Safety certification. Compliance is typically done by testing through an accredited laboratory and obtaining certification through Spectrum Engineering.
TELECOM APPROVALS
- Telecom approval for Canada is relatively straight-forward. Testing and compliance should be in accordance with technical standard CS-03.
- The requirements are well harmonized with FCC part-68, and in many instances it is possible to use FCC reports to obtain approval.
- Approval labels must be purchased from Industry Canada and can only be shipped to addresses in North America
- With the pending changes in USA it is expected that Canada will move quite quickly towards a more deregulated system based on self-certification
