Appendix A – Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory Requirements for Canada

The following requirements are established under section 69.3 of the Telecommunications Act for purposes of section 5 of the Telecommunications Apparatus Regulations.

Registered equipment shall bear the following identifying marks, and the Declaring Party shall ensure that these marks are permanently affixed to the equipment:

(a)The registration number — Specifications of this mark are given in the document: Self-Marking of the Certification/Registration Number on Terminal Equipment — Application Procedure and Agreement; and

(b)The model identification number under which the product was registered.

A statement of compliance with Industry Canada requirements, such as the one given below, shall accompany each unit of equipment whether registered under this procedure or previously certified:

"This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications"

For terminal equipment intended for connection to loop-start or ground-start interfaces, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) must be calculated as per Section 1.8 of CS-03, Part I. A REN higher than that determined may be assigned by manufacturers to allow for production variations. The REN must be marked on the terminal equipment itself or added to the note below. A note similar to the following shall accompany each unit of equipment whether registered under this procedure or previously certified:

"The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed five".

Pursuant to section 69.3 of the Telecommunications Act, Certified or self-declared TE will bear a valid identifying certification or registration number. The marking of the certification or registration number on the product shall be as follows:

(a)TAC holder/DP will be responsible for permanently affixing the certification/registration number on the TE. The certification/registration number (see example below) identifies Certified or self-declared TE to the public, representatives of the telecommunications common carriers, the Department, and other interested parties. The letter height must be no less than 1.5 mm and the letters must be legible without magnification.

(b)For integrated devices, e.g. a modem or one that is intended to become a sub-assembly of host equipment e.g. a data terminal, computer etc. that are designed to interface directly with the network, the certification/registration number shall be affixed to the integrated device itself.

(c)The certification/registration number for a packaged TE will denote that the total package has been registered. However, the marking will normally be placed on that unit of the package, which connects to the network. For example, in a PBX, the marking will be placed on the common equipment, which connects to the network, rather than on plug-in components which may be added later. The Terminal Equipment List will show the common equipment but not the standard station apparatus or any proprietary station apparatus.

(d)The marking format of the certification/registration number is as follows:

IC: XXXXXX-YYYYYYYY

Where:

•The letters "IC" have no other meaning or purpose than to identify the Industry Canada certification/registration number, and

•“XXXXXX-YYYYYYYY” is the certification/registration number; “XXXXXX” is the Company Number¹ (CN); it consists of up to six alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) assigned by Industry Canada; and “YYYYYYYY” is the Unique Product Number (UPN); it consists of up to eight alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) assigned by the applicant. Other

characters, (such as & # *-) may not be used. Alphabetic characters must be capitalized.

Note: The Company Number of registered equipment ends with an alphabetic character.
