Does Canada accept FCC test reports?

Canada does not directly accept FCC certification to bypass its own requirements, but they frequently accept data from FCC test reports to fulfill the ISED (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada) certification.

While Canada and the US have similar technical limits, Canada evaluates devices against its own Radio Standards Specifications (RSS). You can often use FCC test data to generate Canadian compliance reports, provided that:

• The testing was performed by an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory that is mutually recognized by both the FCC and ISED.
• You outline how the FCC test data maps to and complies with the corresponding Canadian RSS requirements.

Ultimately, for full market approval, you must submit the test reports and technical documentation to an ISED-recognized Certification Body (or FCB) to receive an official ISED certification grant and IC ID
