Connect to Canada.
With the right radio evidence.

Document frequency bands, modulation, output power, intended use and all operating modes. Identify whether the equipment is Category I and which Radio Standards Specifications apply. Radio licensing and equipment certification are separate questions; licence-exempt operation does not necessarily mean exemption from equipment certification.

• List simultaneous transmitters and regional software restrictions.

Agree representative hardware, firmware and antenna combinations before testing. General RSS requirements work alongside the technology-specific standard and applicable RF exposure requirements. The laboratory record should make it possible to reproduce the tested configuration rather than relying only on a commercial model name.

• Record antenna type, gain and permitted installation conditions.

For a host incorporating a certified radio module, inspect the original certification conditions and integration instructions. Antenna changes, proximity to users or simultaneous transmission may affect the assessment. Some hosts may avoid a separate radio certification, but remaining technical and labelling responsibilities still need review.

• Keep module identifiers linked to the finished product bill of materials.

The RSP-100 process and document checklist identify the information supporting a certification application. Prepare the relevant reports, technical description, diagrams, photographs and product identification. Ensure confidential exhibits, model designations and hardware or software versions are consistent across the submission.

• Resolve missing or contradictory documents before applying through the chosen route.

Check the Radio Equipment List requirements and approved identifiers for the certified device. User notices required by the applicable RSS or broadcasting standard must be supplied in English and French. Review physical or electronic label arrangements and host labelling against the actual configuration and applicable provisions.

• Verify that the retail manual matches the certified model version.

Classify proposed changes under the applicable modification provisions before release. New antennas, radio settings, enclosure layouts or host configurations can alter the basis of compliance. Preserve the decision, supporting evaluation and any updated certification or listing information so production and marketing use the correct record.

• Keep Canadian configuration controls separate from other regional variants.
