On January 19, 2016, Industry Canada released ICES-003 Issue 6, which clarifies several definitions for “ interference-causing equipment” for information technology equipment (ITE) and other digital apparatus.
The document became effective January 19, 2016, but there is a three month transition period, where either Issue 5 or 6 may be accepted. After that transition period, compliance to Issue 6 becomes mandatory.
The following are the list of changes from Issue 5: updated Section 2.1 to clarify the definition of an ITE device; updated Section 2.3 to include storage media; updated Section 2.4 to clarify applicability of broadcasting equipment; updated Section 3(b) to reference the latest version of ANSI C63.4-2014.
