Canada ICES-003 update

Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has published issue 7 of ICES-003. Following are the main changes as published in the standard.

1. Changed title of the standard from Information Technology Equipment (Including Digital Apparatus) — Limits and Methods of Measurement to Information Technology Equipment (including Digital Apparatus) 

2. Added requirements for devices with wireless power transfer functionality (section 1.3) 

3. Removed requirements that are specified in ICES-Gen and referred to ICES-Gen for all general requirements (section 2.2) 

4. Removed the alternative limits (ICES-003 now has only one set of limits), while continuing to allow either the CISPR or ANSI test methods (section 3)
