Canada IC SDoC Label New Requirements

Views :
Update time : 2024-10-14

On February 23, 2024, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) released version 2 of ICES-GEN "General Requirements for Compliance of Interference-Causing Equipment." This version replaces ICES-GEN Issue 1 and includes updated requirements and definitions, QR code labels, and simplified ISED labels.

The transition period for this version is one year. Starting February 23, 2025, ISED will require the use of the new version labels. China JJR Laboratory has completed the report updates and introduced new IC SDoC label instructions.

 

At this stage, both the new and old labels can be used. JJR recommends that relevant sellers start using the new labels now.

 

ISED Label Compliance Interpretation  

The label must include the word "Canada" or "CAN" and indicate the interference equipment standards in both English and French. If the applicable ICES standard distinguishes between Class A and Class B equipment, the label must also indicate the equipment class (A or B).

 

For example:  

CAN ICES (A) / NMB (A)

 

Category Marking Conditions  

The category only needs to be indicated on the label if the applicable ICES standard distinguishes between Class A and Class B equipment. If no such distinction exists, the label can be simplified as follows:

 

CAN ICES / NMB

 

General Labeling  

The new standard allows the use of a general label without referencing specific ICES standard numbers. This means that products previously labeled in compliance with the old standard do not need to be relabeled, as these labels meet the requirements of the new standard.

 

※ The following are examples of labels that comply with the old standards and still meet the new requirements, so they will not need to be changed after the transition period ends:

 

CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B)  

Canada ICES-005 (A) / NMB-005 (A)  

CAN ICES-002 / NMB-002

 

IC/ISED/ICES Certification  

IC stands for Industry Canada, now known as ISED (Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada). IC sets standards for testing analog and digital terminal equipment and requires wireless products sold in Canada to be IC certified (ISED/ICES certification).

 

ic certification includes electromagnetic compatibility and radio frequency testing requirements for wireless and non-wireless products. It is a mandatory condition for electronic and electrical products to enter the Canadian market. Applicable products include broadcast equipment, information technology equipment, radio devices, and telecommunications equipment.
