Meaning
Administrative processes in Canada facilitate the rebranding of certified radio equipment by secondary suppliers. The ised multiple listing path requires the original equipment manufacturer to grant permission for the new applicant to use their existing test data. This mechanism reduces the cost of entry for distributors who sell identical hardware under different brand names.
It also speeds up the entry into the canadian market by avoiding redundant laboratory work when the hardware remains unchanged from the original filing.
Administrative Eligibility
Applicants must submit a formal request to innovation science and economic development canada along with a letter of authorization from the original certificate holder. Processing an ised multiple listing involves updating the radio equipment list to include the new model identification. The original certification must remain valid and in good standing for the request to proceed.
Technical Identity
Documentation must confirm that the radio circuitry and antenna characteristics remain unchanged from the previously approved design. Any modification to the internal components or the enclosure that affects electromagnetic emissions invalidates the ised multiple listing option. Labelling requirements for the new product must still comply with the standard marking rules for the region.
Market Access
Approval of the submission permits the immediate sale and distribution of the device within the canadian market. An ised multiple listing ensures that the database reflects the current owner of the product certification for enforcement and tracking purposes. Regulators use this information to conduct post market audits and verify continued compliance.
