On September 10, 2025, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) issued a circular numbered 2025-DRS0006 to solicit public comments on the adoption of ETSI EN 301 893 V2.2.1. According to RSS-247, Digital Transmission Systems, Frequency Hopping Systems, and License-Free LAN Devices in the 902-928 MHz, 2400-2483.5 MHz, 5150-5350 MHz, and 5470-5895 MHz bands, ETSI EN 301 893 is currently accepted for dynamic frequency selection (DFS) testing as an alternative to KDB 905462 and ETSI EN 301 893 is the only acceptable methodin the 5600-5650 MHz band.
ISED proposes a six-month transition period during which ETSI EN 301 893 V1.8.1 (2015-03) or ETSI EN 301 893 V2.2.1 (2024-11) can be used to demonstrate compliance with ISED's Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements. After the transition period, the new certification should use ETSI EN 301 893 V2.2.1 (2024-11).
