01 What is Canadian ISED certification?

ISED, formerly IC (Industry Canada), has officially changed its name to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) since 2016, and is responsible for the certification of electronic and electrical products entering the Canadian market. Its products mainly include radio and television equipment, information technology equipment, radio equipment, telecommunications equipment, engineering medical equipment, etc. Similar to the FCC of the United States, the ISE certification currently focuses on electromagnetic compatibility and RF testing requirements for wireless products and non wireless products.

ISED stands for Innovative Economic Science and Development (Canada). This certification helps regulate radio, consumer electronics and communications equipment in Canada. ISED certification is the pass for electronic and electrical products to enter the Canadian market. Radio products can only be sold in the Canadian market after obtaining the ISED certification of the relevant authorities. The purpose of this certification is to ensure that all electronic products available to Canadians on the market are safe and comply with appropriate manufacturing and environmental guidelines established by the Government of Canada.

02 ISED certification method

ISED: self declaration and certification can be used.

ISED self declaration: ISED SDoC is generally applicable to the certification of non wireless products;

ISED Certification: ISED IC, generally applicable to the certification method of wireless products, that is, IC: XXXXX - YYYYYYYYYY on wireless products.
