ISED RSS-102

Meaning

Technical standard established by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to limit human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. Compliance with ised rss-102 is mandatory for all wireless devices sold in the Canadian market. It sets the maximum specific absorption rate for portable devices used close to the body.

Radiation Safety

Limits are based on the frequency of the transmitter and the intended use of the device. Evaluation for ised rss-102 involves measuring the energy absorbed by a phantom model that mimics human tissue. This ensures that the device does not cause heating or other biological effects.

Testing Methodology

Requirements change depending on whether the device is considered a mobile system or a portable one. For ised rss-102, a portable device must undergo rigorous testing if it is used within 20 centimeters of a person. Mobile devices at greater distances are subject to a different set of power density calculations.

Market Access

Manufacturers must provide a technical report showing that their product meets these safety requirements before it can be listed on the radio equipment list. Failure to comply with ised rss-102 prevents legal sale within Canada and can result in product recalls. The documentation must be kept on file for the life of the product.
