Test Site Registration

Compliance radiated measurements shall be performed on an Industry Canada-registered OATS or an alternative test site. Upon successful completion of the test site registration process, Industry Canada will provide the test site registration applicant a unique registration number that identifies the site.

To obtain or renew a unique registration number, the test site registration applicant shall demonstrate that the site has been accredited to ANSI C63.4-2003 or later edition. A scope of accreditation indicating the accreditation by a recognized accreditation body to ANSI C63.4-2003 or later edition shall be accepted.

The following information shall be submitted to Industry Canada's Certification and Engineering Bureau to successfully register or renew an accredited test facility:

(a) cover letter;
(b) physical location of the site;
(c) copy of a valid accreditation certificate from a recognized accreditation body;
(d) copy of a scope of accreditation covering ANSI C63.4-2003 or later edition; and
(e) pictures of the site for which registration/renewal is sought.

If the test facility is not accredited to ANSI C63.4-2003 or later edition, the test facility shall submit test data demonstrating full compliance with the ANSI standard. The Department will evaluate the filing to determine if recognition shall be granted.

The following information shall be submitted to Industry Canada's Certification and Engineering Bureau to successfully register or renew a non-accredited test facility:

(a) cover letter;
(b) physical location of the site;
(c) detailed description of the site (e.g. dimensions, construction materials);
(d) complete site validation test report; and
(e) pictures of the site for which registration/renewal is sought.

Revalidation shall occur on an interval not to exceed three years. In the case of a renewal, please indicate in the cover letter the previously assigned site number and a brief description of the site in question (e.g. 2156A-1, 3m OATS or 2156A-1, 3m chamber).

There is no fee or form associated with test site registration.
