ic certification in Canada

ised certification is also known as IC-ID certification, which is short for the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (formerly called the Canadian Industry Department). Since 2016, it has officially been renamed ised, but its label format remains unchanged. ISED certification is the entry pass for electronic products into the Canadian market. Wireless products sold in Canada must pass this certification to be legally marketed and used. The certification process is similar to the FCC in the USA.

Main product categories for ISED certification

- Bluetooth devices

- WiFi devices

- Mechanical products

- Information technology equipment

- Terminal products

- Lighting products

- Radio equipment

- Telecommunications products

- Audio and video broadcasting equipment

- Engineering and medical equipment

ISED Certification Types

- ISED-sdoc: Generally for non-wireless products (without wireless transmission).

- ISED-ID: Generally for wireless products.

Both certification types do not require factory inspections.

Required documents for ised id certification

- Application form

- IC number

- Local agent authorization letter

- Product circuit schematic and user manual

- Test reports

ISED Certification Process

1. Submit documents

2. Provide product samples

3. Laboratory testing

4. ID number application (through a Canadian agent)

5. ID number registration success

6. Certificate issuance

The typical project cycle is 3-4 weeks.

Only radio products with ISED certification can be sold in the Canadian market. The certification ensures that all radio products available in Canada are safe and comply with appropriate manufacturing and environmental guidelines set by the Canadian government.
