Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED, formerly Industry Canada IC) regulates the radio spectrum for all transmitters operated in Canada. The Radio Standards Specifications (RSS) detail the technical requirements for radio transmitters.
IC Approvals
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference.
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
This equipment complies with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To comply with RSS-102 RF Exposure compliance requirements, this grant is applicable for only Mobile Configurations. The antennas used for the transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
IC Approval Procedure
As specified in official website, there are three main ways of authorizing the equipment:
- Certification process
- Declaration of Conformity
- Suppliers Declaration of Conformity
FMM13A IC Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC)
For FMM13A IC compliance SDoC procedure is mandatory. That requires the party responsible for compliance ensure that the equipment complies with the appropriate technical standards. The responsible party, who must be located in the Canada, is not required to file an equipment authorization application with the Commission or a TCB. Equipment authorized under the SDoC procedure is not listed in a Commission database. However, the responsible party or any other party marketing the equipment must provide a test report and other information demonstrating compliance with the rules upon request by the commission. The responsible party has the option to use the certification procedure in place of the SDoC procedure.
Official Federal Communications Commission for SDoC compliance requires and mandates two major parties:
- Manufacturer (Teltonika) to test the device for all applicable standards;
- Local Canada entity (Importer or Marketer) to sign Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity.
The FMM13A conformity with the essential requirements has been demonstrated against the following harmonized standards:

To be in compliance with IC
We, Teltonika, have fulfilled our duty of testing the device for all the required standards by IC.
Only Importer or Marketer, local US entity, can sign Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity, therefore please find SDoC below and sign by your own entity’s name.
