Quick Eligibility Check

Do you need a Canadian Representative?

Answer a few quick questions to find out whether ISED requires you to appoint a Canadian Representative. If you are here for certification, PMRA or EPA registration instead, pick that service above.

Step 1 of 4

Is your company based in Canada?

Companies with a Canadian address do not need a Canadian Representative. Learn more

Step 2 of 4

Does your company have a subsidiary located in Canada?

A Canadian representative is not required if a subsidiary or affiliate with a Canadian address is used as the applicant. Learn more

Step 3 of 4

Does your product contain a radio component?

Products that intentionally emit radio waves (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, and other wireless devices) are generally classified as Category I equipment by ISED and must be certified with a Technical Acceptance Certificate before they can be manufactured, imported, distributed, sold, or used in Canada. Learn more

Step 4 of 4

Is your product terminal equipment?

Terminal equipment connects to a public telecommunications network — for example telephones, modems, and products with a wired telecom interface. ISED certifies it under DC-01, which requires a Canadian Representative when the applicant’s company address is outside Canada. Learn more

Almost there

You require a Canadian Representative — we’re here to help!

As a non-Canadian company, ISED requires you to appoint a Canadian Representative for this product — under RSP-100 for radio equipment, or DC-01 for terminal equipment. Share your email and we’ll follow up with an accurate quotation.

Every Letter of Attestation can now include a blockchain authenticity-verifying QR code — just let us know if you’d like one added.

    Thanks — we’ll take a look!

    We’ve received your product details and will follow up by email to let you know whether you need a Canadian Representative.

    Curious in the meantime? Check our FAQ.

    You’re all set!

    Since your company is Canadian, or has a Canadian subsidiary, ISED doesn’t require you to appoint a Canadian Representative — you can apply for your ISED/IC certification directly.

    You’re all set!

    ISED’s Canadian Representative requirement covers radio equipment under RSP-100 and terminal equipment under DC-01. Since your product is neither, you likely don’t need a Canadian Representative for it.

    Blockchain QR Codes to Verify Authenticity

    Although ISED Engineers have begun encouraging the use of QR codes, it still remains optional.

    Northern Certification is a participant in the ISED Blockchain Pilot Project, anchoring the electronic documents we issue to the blockchain so that their integrity can be independently verified by customers and regulators alike.

    As part of this program, the Letters of Attestation we issue may carry a QR code on the front page, giving you, ISED, and your Certification Body an easy way to confirm authenticity and integrity with a single scan.

    Have questions about ISED certification or our participation in this initiative? If you’re looking for assistance with ISED certification or would like to learn more about how Northern Certification is participating in the ISED Blockchain Pilot, please contact our team. We’d be happy to discuss how we can support your Canadian market access and compliance needs.
