Element provides services for Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) certification (formerly Industry Canada, or IC) in Canada, helping you test and certify your wireless products to enable quick market access and remain compliant in Canada.
Element is an ISED Canada appointed Foreign Certification Body (FCB); a FCB can be used for certification of radio devices which enables the use of an IC ID on the products. ISED certification is required for certain categories of radio devices prior to placing them into the Canadian market place.
Such equipment needs to be assessed to applicable ISED RSS standards and then the results (test reports) are submitted, along with other documentation such as schematic diagrams, bill of materials, user materials, etc. to the FCB for evaluation.
A successful evaluation of the submitted documents will lead to FCB issuing a Certificate of Acceptance and listing your products on the Radio Equipment List (REL) which is required prior to placing your products into the Canadian market.
At Element, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of impartiality and integrity in all our certification, testing and advisory activities. In compliance with ISO/IEC 17065 requirements, we ensure that our certification decisions are made independently and without any undue influence from internal or external parties. We have established robust procedures to identify, manage, and mitigate any potential conflicts of interest to uphold the trust and confidence of our clients and stakeholders.
Our personnel competencies and impartiality policy are embedded in our company culture and supported by comprehensive internal controls and oversight mechanisms. For more information on our impartiality policy and procedures, please contact us.
