New Requirements for Wireless Device Testing Laboratories
Since 15th of March 2019 the Innovation, Science and Economic Development of Canada (ISED) has published the "Decision on New Requirements for Wirelees Device Testing Laboratories".
The increasing complexity of the equipment and the intricacies of the regulatory requirements demand more technical expertise from stakeholders involved in the conformity assessment process. Accredited testing laboratories (by ISED) generally submit higher quality test reports, therefore providing greater confidence in the competencies of these testing laboratories to perform compliance assessments to domestic technical rules.
The Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has published new radio standards specification (RSS-130 Issue 2 replacing Issue 1) for equipment operating in the frequency bands 617-652 MHz, 663-698 MHZ, 689-756 MHz and 777-787 MHz.
The main changes are listed below:
• Add the frequency bands 617-652 MHz and 663-698 MHz and the related requirements to the standard.
• Add a provision for a transition period regarding RSS-130 issue 1.
• Change equipment’s equivalent isotopically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) to effective radiated power (e.r.p.).
• Clarify that the equipment’s unwanted emission limit shall be met at the highest and lowest frequency of the frequency block range that contains the equipment operating frequencies.
• Clarify that equipment’s measurement shall be performed only with the carrier frequency set at the lowest frequency and highest frequency in each frequency bands.
• Add guidance on determining the occupied bandwidth when measuring frequency stability limits for equipment able to transmit numerous channels simultaneously.
• Remove measurement section on multiple antennas since the measurement method is defined in ANSI C63.26, American National Standard for Compliance Testing of Transmitters Used in Licensed Radio Service (referenced in RSS-Gen, General Requirements for Compliance of Radio Apparatus).
most importantly, the band has been expanded to include 77-81 GHz (thus globally harmonized)
it is licence-exempt
The average e.i.r.p. shall be done by a power averaging detector (1 MHz resolution) and the power shall be integrated over the occupied bandwidth; the total average e.i.r.p. shall not exceed 50 dBm over the occupied bandwidth.
Comments can still be submitted via the Gazette Notice SMSE-012-18. French versions are available on-site as well.
