ºÃÉ«TV provides services for Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) certification (formerly Industry Canada, or IC) in Canada, helping you test and certify your wireless products to enable quick market access and remain compliant in Canada. 

ºÃÉ«TV is an ISED Canada appointed Foreign Certification Body (FCB); a FCB can be used for certification of radio devices which enables the use of an IC ID on the products. ISED certification is required for certain categories of radio devices prior to placing them into the Canadian market place.   

Such equipment needs to be assessed to applicable ISED RSS standards and then the results (test reports) are submitted, along with other documentation such as schematic diagrams, bill of materials, user materials, etc. to the FCB for evaluation. 

A successful evaluation of the submitted documents will lead to FCB issuing a Certificate of Acceptance and listing your products on the Radio Equipment List (REL) which is required prior to placing your products into the Canadian market. 

At ºÃÉ«TV, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of impartiality and integrity in all our certification, testing and advisory activities. In compliance with ISO/IEC 17065 requirements, we ensure that our certification decisions are made independently and without any undue influence from internal or external parties. We have established robust procedures to identify, manage, and mitigate any potential conflicts of interest to uphold the trust and confidence of our clients and stakeholders.

Our personnel competencies and impartiality policy are embedded in our company culture and supported by comprehensive internal controls and oversight mechanisms. For more information on our impartiality policy and procedures, please contact us.

ISED Certification for Canada

Canada labeling

As well as having an IC ID, it is also mandatory for each certified product to have a model number, ‘Hardware Version Identification’ Number (HVIN), which must be clearly visible on the product. When launching your product, you must also use ‘Product Marketing Name’ (PMN) in your marketing material, user manual or company website.

ISED Certification for Canada

The difference between FCC and ISED

Although the FCC and ISED certification process can be similar, separate certifications are required for these two countries (an FCC is not accepted in Canada and vice versa). As a recognized FCB for Canada, and an FCC appointed Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) for the US, ºÃÉ«TV’s Engaged Experts will ensure that your wireless products have been tested to the appropriate standards for the fastest route to compliance.
