  3. RSS-111(Issue 2) – Broadband Public Safety Equipment Operating in the Band 4940-4990 MHz • The main changes: • (1) Section 2.1: The requirement for RSS-Gen to be used in conjunction with this Standard is stated. • (2) Section 4.3: The classification of high and low-power devices has been clarified.

  4. RSS-119 (Issue 9) – Land Mobile and Fixed Radio Transmitters and Receivers Operating in the Frequency Range 27.41-960 MHz • The main changes: • Section 3.1: The requirement has been stated that RSS-Gen must be used in conjunction with this standard, RSS-119. • Section 3.4: The measures applying to transmitter external frequency selection controls have been strengthened to ensure against operation in unauthorized frequency bands. • Section 4.3(3): Instructions for performing Adjacent Channel Power (ACP) measurement using the swept power measurement technique have been clarified. • Section 5.3 (with reference to Table 1 – Transmitter Frequency Stability): • (i) The frequency stability limits for mobile transmitters with an authorized bandwidth of 6.25 kHz operating in the band 138-174 MHz have been revised. • (ii) The frequency stability limit for base or fixed transmitters with an authorized bandwidth of 11.25 kHz operating in the bands 217-218 MHz and 219-220 MHz has been revised. • (iii) The frequency stability limits for transmitters with an authorized bandwidth of 6.25 kHz operating in the bands 406.1-430 MHz and 450-470 MHz have been revised. • (iv) Note 5 has been added, stating that control stations are subject to same frequency tolerance limits prescribed for associated mobile stations. • The requirement that FM transmitters be equipped with a limiter and audio low-pass filter, and had to meet the recommended audio filter attenuation limit has been removed. As a consequence, the related section on the measurement method of the filter attenuation has also been removed.

  5. RSS-GENMain Changes: • Section 2: A recommendation has been added for suppliers of radiocommunication equipment regarding the use of both official languages. • Section 2.2.1: The conditions under which a receiver is considered to be Category I Equipment have been clarified. • Section 3.1: A requirement has been added for the test report to be dated within one year of the date the application for certification is made. • Section 4: Compliance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.4-2003 standard for testing facilities and method for radio noise emission has been added. The reference to RSS-212 for testing facilities and measurement method has been removed, as RSS-212 has been rescinded. • Section 4.4: The measurement method of field strength for pulsed operation has been corrected to include, rather than exclude, blanking intervals within the pulse train. • Section 4.7: The resolution bandwidth for measurement of transmitter power has been specified to be at least three times the emission bandwidth to reflect the current measurement method. • Section 4.9: The use of a peak detector having suitable bandwidth as an alternative to a quasi-peak detector for measurement of receiver spurious emissions below 1 GHz is described. • Section 5.2: A detailed description has been added of how to label the equipment. A provision has also been added to allow the label for medical implants designed to be used within the human body to be placed on the packaging and user manual.

  6. RSS-GENMain Changes: • Section 6: The method of measurement for receivers using a spectrum analyzer has been removed in order to align with international standards. • Section 7.1.1: Information has been added to clarify the requirements applying to approval of licence-exempt transmitters which have modular construction. • Section 7.1.6: A provision has been added for digital circuits that are not directly associated with a radio transmitter subject to RSS-210, RSS-310 or RSS-213 to comply with Interference-Causing Equipment Standard 003 (ICES-003). This provision was in RSS-210, Issue 5 and was inadvertently left out when RSS-210, Issue 6 was developed. • Section 7.1.7: A provision has been added for equipment subject to RSS-210 or RSS-310 for which measurements can only be performed after installation. • Section 7.1.8: Rules for certifiable operating frequency range of devices in licence-exempt master/slave networks have been added. • Section 7.1.9: A provision has been added exempting home built devices in quantities of less than five from certification. • Section 7.2.1: A reference to the appropriate measurement method for emission limits for pulsed operation has been added. • Section 7.2.5: A provision has been added for measurement of field strength at distances other than those specified.

  7. RSP-100 (Issue 9) – Radio Equipment Certification Procedure • This document was modified to address methods, instrumentation, and facilities for the measurement of RF signals and noise emitted from electrical and electronic devices.

  8. RSS-210 (Issue 7) – Low Power, Licence-Exempt Device (Category I) • Table 1: Restricted Frequency Bands: A typographical error in the second entry in Table 1 had shown frequency range as 2.1735-2.190 MHz. This was corrected to read 2.1735-2.1905 MHz. • Table 3: General Field Strength Limits for Transmitters at Frequencies Below 30 MHz: A note was added below the table indicating that the emission limits for the bands 9-90 kHz and 110‑490 kHz are based on measurements employing an average detector. • Annex 1, Section A1.1.5: A note has been included to the effect that while unwanted emissions must meet limits in third column of Table 5: Reduced Field Strength Limits for Momentarily Operated Devices, suppression below Table 2: General Field Strength Limits is not required. • Annex 1, Section 1.2.1: Theremote control frequency of 27.255 MHz has been added to harmonize with the FCC. • Annex 8: Numerous editorial changes made throughout Annex 8 to clarify text. • Section A8.4: The e.i.r.p. limits for the band 902-928 MHz were added. • Section A9.2(3): The e.i.r.p. limit of 200 W specified in Issue 6 for point-to-point operation in the band 5725-5825 MHz has been changed to no e.i.r.p. limit for point-to-point operation, to correspond with e.i.r.p. provisions for the band 5725-5850 MHz set out in Annex 8, since overall requirements are very similar. • Section A9.4: A Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) test procedure for LE-LAN devices operating in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz has been specified.

  9. RSS-210 (Issue 7) – Main changes) • Section A9.5(5): To harmonize with FCC Rules Part 15, the requirement to meet the frequency stability figure, stated in Issue 6 has been removed. Applicant now is only required to show that emissions remain completely within the band of operation under all normal operating conditions. • Annex 11: The requirements for devices enclosed in metal containers now apply to containers made of any material (metal, concrete, etc.) having good attenuation properties. The requirement has been removed for a user of a device, which is enclosed in a container, to provide the device supplier with the addresses of his residence and of the location where the device is installed, plus the model number of the device and date of installation. Also, the requirement has been removed for the certification applicant to notify NAV CANADA of the addresses of the distributors of the device, and to instruct the distributors to maintain a record of locations in Canada where the device is installed and submit a copy of this record to NAV CANADA once a year. • Annex 12 paragraph (a): The field strength limit (measured at 3 m) has been increased from 2500 mV/m to 25 V/m. Also, transmitter power delivered to antenna is limited to 1 mW. • Annex 12 paragraph (c): Minimum antenna gain above which transmitter power must be reduced in accordance with requirement to not exceed field strength limit specified in paragraph (a) has been increased from 33 dBi to 53 dBi.

  10. RSS-310 (Issue 2) – Low Power, Licence-Exempt Device (Category II) • Main Changes: • (1) Section 2.3 User Manual: A bilingual statement of compliance has been provided. • (2) Table 3: General Field Strength Limits for Transmitters at Frequencies Below 30 MHz: A note was added below the table indicating that the emission limits for the 9-90 kHz and 110-490 kHz bands are based on measurements employing an average detector. • (3) Section 3.7 (new section): Very Low-power Devices Below 490 kHz: Transmitters whose fundamental emission lies below 490 kHz and for which it is shown that all emissions are at least 40 dB below the levels specified in Tables 2 and 3, are exempt from certification and only need to comply with the general provisions of RSS-310 and the applicable provisions of RSS-Gen.
