Canada: ISED conducts public consultation on ANSI C63.2-2023 and ANSI C63.10a-2024


On 20 September 2024, Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) of Canada opened a public consultation proposing the adoption of the following criteria:

  • ANSI C63.2-2023 - United States National Standard specifying specifications for electromagnetic interference and field strength measurement instruments in the frequency range from 9 kHz to 40 GHz. As the standard incorporates the existing requirements in the CISPR 16-1-1 version adopted in ISED standards and ANSI C63.4-2014, a six-month transition period is proposed.
  • ANSI C63.10a-2024 - United States National Standard, Test Procedures for Compliance with Unlicensed Wireless Devices, Amendment No. 1. This amendment extends the frequency range to 750 GHz and updates procedures for frequency stability, maximization of emissions from millimeter wave (mmWave) devices, ultra-wideband (UWB) devices, and unlicensed national information infrastructure equipment. It is proposed to establish a one-year transition period during which the previous version or a modified version can be used to meet ISED requirements.
