Are the FCC Part 15 rules applicable in Canada?
No, Industry Canada has its own rules for governing the RF spectrum and telecommunications equipment. Conveniently, the Canadian rules are almost identical to the FCC rules in most areas. In many cases, compliance to the FCC’s Part 15 automatically makes a product compliant to the IC’s ICES-003 equivalent. One issue to be aware of involves application for formal approval (telecom & transmitters). An intentional radiator or a telecom device must be registered with the FCC and Industry Canada separately. The rules that govern these devices are very similar, but each agency will require an individual submittal of applications and supporting paperwork.
