QUESTIONS ON DC–01 (Issue 2, June 2007)
(Q) May we submit applications for equipment certification using the older
method?
(A) No. The procedure CP–01 has been superseded by DC–01. We will no
longer accept applications for certification. It is now a registration process.
Note: Radio Apparatus still requires equipment certification.
(Q) How do I obtain a Company Number, is there a fee for this?
(A) To request a company number email us at certification.bureau@ic.gc.ca
with your full mailing address, including contact name and email
address. You should request this number before filing. There is no
charge for the number.
(Q) Does IC choose the Unique Product Number (UPN)?
(A) It’s preferable that the client choose the UPN.
(Q) What is the reference and agreement number in DC–01?
(A) These numbers are the client’s reference numbers used in Appendix I
and II.
(Q) On the Registration Request at the top right it asks for a DoC/DDC #
– what is this?
(A) It is the client’s reference number, the same number used for Appendix I.
(Q) What do you mean by Canadian representative?
(A) This could be the supplier or importer, someone that can fulfill the
requirements in DC–01 Part 7.2, capable of responding to enquiries and
providing audit samples at no charge to the Department if requested.
(Q) Do I need a Canadian representative for equipment prior to January
19th, 2002?
(A) The requirement for a Canadian representative applies to the registration
of equipment after January 19th, 2002.
(Q) How do we handle multiple listings?
(A) If equipment was previously registered by "company A" and "company B"
wants to sell this same equipment using "company B’s" name and model
number, a new registration number must be issued as the company number
would change. In all cases, registration and DoC is required for each and
every model separately. See section 6.7 in DC-01.
(Q) What is required if we modify our Registered equipment?
(A) The equipment must be tested to CS–03 by a test facility that is accredited
and recognized by Industry Canada. You must retain the test results for
audit purposes. Registration must be made using DC–01 only if the
information in Appendix II has changed. There is no charge for this service.
See section 6.9 in DC-01.
(Q) What is required if we modify certified equipment under CP–01?
(A) The equipment must be tested to CS–03 by a test facility that is accredited
and recognized by Industry Canada. You retain the test results for audit
purposes. Register using DC–01. The registration number will be the same
as your previous certification number. Submit Appendix I and II of DC–01.
It will be retained on file. There is no charge for this service.
(Q) Is the registration fee taxable?
(A)No.
(Q) If there is more than one model in a family, can all models be submitted in
one package or does each model require a separate DoC and Registration
Request?
(A) They may all be submitted on one registration form. There is a flat
registration fee of $750, no matter how many models are listed.
SELF MARKING Q & A’s
(Q) Can I still buy labels?
(A) No, but the equipment must still have a marking as per section 6.4 in DC-01.
(Q) What is a UPN?
(A) This is the Unique Product Number which is assigned by the declaring
party for registration of DoC. Example: IC: xxxxxx–yyyyyyyy. The x
portion is your company number. This company number includes an alpha
character which indicates company location. The y portion is a unique
product number (UPN) chosen by your company.
