2026 Canada IC Certification – Standards, Tests & Products

2026-03-09

Using outdated standards or missing tests is the top cause of IC Certification failure.

I. 2026 Core IC Standards (RSS Series):

·RSS‑102 Issue 6: RF exposure (mandatory 2026)

·RSS‑Gen Issue 3: General radio requirements

·RSS‑247 Issue 3: 2.4GHz / 5GHz

·RSS‑248 Issue 3: 6GHz Wi‑Fi 6E/7 (AFC mandatory)

·RSS‑210 Issue 2: Low‑power short‑range devices

·RSS‑139 Issue 5: 4G/5G cellular

·RSS‑310 Issue 1: V2X

·RSS‑249 Issue 2: Wireless charging >5W

  II. 2026 Mandatory Tests:

All Products

·RF performance (frequency, power, bandwidth)

·Spurious emissions (9kHz–400GHz)

·EMC

·RF exposure (RSS‑102 Issue 6)

2026 Add‑ons

·6GHz devices: AFC testing

·Smart devices: cybersecurity‑related RF tests

·5G: adjacent channel selectivity

·Hopping devices: hopping sequence compliance

  III. Products Requiring IC Certification (2026):

Only active radio transmitters require certification:

·Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi (including 6E/7), ZigBee, RF remotes

·4G/5G phones, modules, portable Wi‑Fi

·Drones, V2X, RFID, wireless mics

·Wireless cameras, smart home, IoT, automotive devices

Exempt:Pure receivers, passive RFID, extremely low‑power devices, wired products.
