Wireless equipment is required to meet minimum technical requirements in accordance with the provisions of the Radiocommunications Act and departmental standards. Compliance with technical requirements is an essential element of spectrum management. Certification is a necessary measure to identify equipment that complies with mandatory standards.
The Radio Equipment List (REL) is an Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada publication, listing radio equipment which has been certified for use in Canada.
Certification of radio equipment means that the equipment complies with established Radio Standards Specifications (RSS) requirements, in accordance with Radio Standards Procedure (RSP). A "Technical Acceptance Certificate" is issued accordingly. A licence to operate the equipment, where applicable, is required separately and is granted solely on the basis of the existing radio environment, type of service and location of operation.
BlueQ Services provides regulatory test services (ISO 17025 accredited) for all test standards listed below and can obtain ISED Certification for your radio products via our partner FCBs (Foreign Certification Body)
