Update on RSS • Published since January 2010 • RSS-Gen (Issue 3) – General Requirements and Information for the Certification of Radio Apparatus. • RSS-102 (Issue 4) - Radio Frequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands) • RSS-119 (Issue 10)- Land Mobile and Fixed Equipment Operating in the 30- 960 MHz Range • RSS-141 (Issue 2) – Aeronautical Radiocommunication Equipment in the Frequency Band 117.975-137 MHz • RSS-142 (Issue 4) – Narrowband Multipoint Communication Systems in the Bands1429.5‑ 1432 MHz and 1493.5-1496.5 MHz

  3. Update on RSS (2) • Published since January 2010 (continue) • RSS-196 (Issue 1) – Point-to-Multipoint Broadband Equipment Operating in the Bands 512-608 MHz and 614-698 MHz in the Rural Remote Broadband System (RRBS) • RSS-197 (Issue 1) – Wireless Broadband Services Equipment Operating in the Band 3650-3700 MHz • RSS-199 (Issue 1) – Broadband Radio Service (BRS) Equipment Operating in the Bands 2500-2690 MHz • RSS-210 (Issue 8)– Low-power Licence-exempt Radio Apparatus (All Frequency Bands): Category I Equipment • RSS-243 (Issue 3) – Active Medical Implants Operating in the 401-406 MHz Band • RSS-310 (Issue 3)– Low-power Licence-exempt Radio Apparatus (All Frequency Bands): Category II Equipment

  4. Current Activities (1) • Prepared for Publication • Amend. RSS-102 (Issue 4)– “Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands)” To modify footnote 13 of the RSS and adding the measurement procedure for bystander requirement in the case of laptop type computers with integrated antennas in the display screen on the CEB’s webpage. • RSS-123 (Issue 1 Rev. 2) – Low Power Licensed Radiocommunication Devices • - The frequency 698-806 MHz will be removed from the standard according the new policy • - Harmonization with the FCC Part 74 and 90 • - General reformatting and removal of material common to RSS-Gen

  5. Prepared for Publication (continue) • RSS-170 (Issue 2) – Mobile Earth Station- Revisit to be in line with international standard for mobile earth station- Include certification requirements for Ancillary Terrestrial Components (ATCS) in certain frequency bands Current Activities (2)

  6. Current Activities (3) Revisions and New RSSs in progress: • RSP-100 (Issue 10)- Radio Equipment Certification Procedure • To add form for Canadian Representative • RSS-102 (Issue 5)- Radio Frequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands) • Revision of Exemption Power Thresholds • RSS-111 (Issue 4) – Broadband Public Safety Equipment Operating in the Band 4940-4990 MHz - To address multiple antenna issues. • RSS-119 (Issue 11)– Land Mobile and Fixed Equipment Operating in the 30- 960 MHz Range • Include requirement for equipment with occupied bandwidth larger than the current permissible authorized bandwidth in the 400 MHz and 800 MHz frequency bands • (EMC Study – to be presented on January 18, 2011) • RSS-131 (Issue 3) Zone Enhancers for the Land Mobile Service - To address measurement methods • RSS-182 (Issue 5) Maritime Radio Transmitters and Receivers in the Band 156-162.5 MHz - Include NAVTEX receivers - Require all VHF radiotelephones (except portable radio) be GMDSS-compliant or GMDSS compatible. - Update contact information • Re-format and renumber.

  7. Current Activities (4) Revisions and New RSSs in progress (continue) • RSS-188 (Issue 1) Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Will be withdrawn – merge RSS-188 into RSS-182 • RSS-195 (Issue 2) Wireless Communications Service Equipment Operating in the Bands 2305-2320 MHz and 2345-2360 MHz - To include new requirements for WCS devices • RSS-220 (Issue 2) – Device using Ultra-wideband (UWB) Technology. • Revision based on comments received • Section 6.5 of RSS-220 now permits UWB indoor communication devices in hospitals and health-care facilities (CB Notice 2010-14)

  8. Update on ICES (1) Revisions in progress • ICES-001 (Issue 5)ISM Radio Frequency Generator • CSA adopted CISPR 11 Edition 4 Amend 1 and Amend 2. Revise reference publication. • Removal of the phrase: “These limits do not apply to ISM radio frequency generators while being tested for compliance with this standard.” • ICES-002(Issue 6) Spark Ignition Systems of Vehicles and Other Devices Quipped with Internal Combustion Engines • CSA adopted CISPR 12 Edition 6.1 (with Canadian deviations – removal of average detector limits/measurements (narrowband limits/measurements)). Revise reference publication. • ICES-003 (Issue 5)Digital Apparatus • CSA adopted CISPR 22 Edition 6. Revise reference publication. • Add date in which above 1 GHz testing requirements become in effect – TBD. • Update EMCAB-3.

  9. Update on ICES (2) Future Work • ICES-004 (Issue 4)Alternating Current High Voltage Power System • To update the reference publication. Currently, reviewing CISPR 16 series at the CSA level. • ICES-005 (Issue 4)Radio Frequency Lighting Devices • To update the reference publication. Currently, reviewing CISPR 16 series standards at the CSA level. • ICES-006 (Issue 3) AC Wire Carrier Current Devices (Unintentional Radiators) • Update based on comments received
