Adoption of ANSI C63.10-2020 and C63.25.1-2018

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) is adopting the following standards:

• ANSI C63.10-2020, American National Standard of Procedures for Compliance Testing of Unlicensed Wireless Devices, modified per ANSI C63.10-2020/Cor 1-2023.
• ANSI C63.25.1-2018, American National Standard, Validation Methods for Radiated Emission Test Sites, 1 GHz to 18 GHz.

The ANSI C63.10-2020+Cor.1-2023 replaces ANSI C63.10-2013, but a transition period of two years is provided, during which time either edition may be used for demonstrating compliance with ISED requirements. After the transition period expires, new certifications shall use ANSI C63.10-2020+Cor.1-2023.

No transition period is provided for ANSI C63.25.1-2018 because this standard includes the existing site voltage standing wave ratio (S_VSWR) method while adding the alternative time-domain (TD) method of site validation. Test labs may continue using the S_VSWR method, as before, or start using the new TD-S_VSWR method.
