2.1.2. Canada (Industry Canada, IC)
The A8520E24A91 modules have been certified for use in Canada under Industry Canada (IC)
Radio Standards Specification (RSS) RSS-210 and RSS-Gen.
From section 3.2 RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010, Modular Approval for Category I
Equipment or Category II Equipment:
“Modular approval permits the installation of the same module in
a host device or multiple host
devices without the need to recertify the device. Equipment certification for a modular device
may be sought for either Category I equipment or Category II equipment.
Transmitters designed as modules for the installation in a host device may obtain equipment
certification as a modular device provided that the applicable RSS is met and the following
conditions in this section are met.”
In section 7.1.2 Transmitter Antenna, it has been mentioned that the user manuals for
transmitters shall display the following notice in a conspicuous location:
Notice:
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that necessary for successful communication.
Avis:
Sous la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, ce transmetteur radio ne peut fonctionner
qu’en utilisant seulement une antenne d'un type et d’un maximum (ou moins) de gain approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Pour réduire des potentielles interférences radio pour les
autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent être choisis de sorte que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne dépasse pas ce qui est nécessaire pour une
communication réussie.
2.1.2.1. IC Labeling Requirements
From section 3.2.1 RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010, Labeling Requirements for the Host
Device:
The host device shall be properly labeled to identify the modules within the host device. The
Industry Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed
in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labeled to display the Industry Canada
certification number of the module, preceded by the words “Contains transmitter module”, or the
word “Contains”, or similar wording expressing the same meaning.
From section 5.2, RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010, Equipment Certification Numbers and
Labels: Every unit of Category I radio apparatus certified for marketing and use in Canada shall
