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 bear a
permanent label on which is indelibly displayed the model number and Industry Canada
certification number of the equipment model (transmitter, receiver, or inseparable combination
thereof). Each model shall be identified by a unique combination of a model number and a
certification number, which are assigned as described below in this section.
The label shall be securely affixed to a permanently attached part of the device, in a location
where it is visible or easily accessible to the user, and shall not be readily detachable. The label
shall be sufficiently durable to remain fully legible and intact on the device in all normal
conditions of use throughout the device’s expected lifetime. These requirements may be met
either by a separate label or nameplate permanently attached to the device or by permanently
imprinting or impressing the label directly onto the device.
The label text shall be legible without the aid of magnification, but is not required to be larger
than 8-point font size. If the device is too small to meet this condition, the label information may
be included in the user manual upon agreement with Industry Canada.
Section 5.2 continues:
The model number is assigned by the applicant and shall be unique to each model of radio
apparatus under that applicant’s responsibility. The model number shall be displayed on the
label preceded by the text: “Model:”, so it appears as follows:
Model: model number assigned by applicant
From section 7.1.4, RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010, Radio Apparatus Containing Digital
Circuits (ICES-003):
“Radio apparatus containing digital circuitry which can function separately from the operation of
a transmitter or an associated transmitter, shall comply with ICES-003. In such cases, the
labeling requirements of the applicable RSS apply, rather than the labelling requirements in
ICES-003.”
