TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT
Notice No. SMSE-016-01 — Public Discussion on Simplifications to the Conformity Assessment Process for Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
1. Intent
The purpose of this notice is to invite public comments on how the conformity assessment process for telecommunications terminal equipment could be simplified in Canada. Specifically, the Department of Industry (the Department) is seeking comments on the benefits that a self-declaration approach would offer to Canadian consumers.
2. Background
Currently, suppliers of telecommunications terminal equipment are required to certify their products to Industry Canada's certification requirements in order to demonstrate conformity. However, industry worldwide is promoting the adoption of the Suppliers' Declaration of Conformity (SDOC) as the preferred approach to assuring product conformity.
In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) conducted a public consultation on the streamlining of the Part 68 registration process as part of its 2000 Biennial Regulatory Review. On December 21, 2000, the FCC released a Report and Order (CC Docket 99-216, FCC 00-400) which transfers most of the FCC's current Part 68 functions to the private sector. Among other changes, the FCC Order gives suppliers the option of using SDOC to demonstrate conformity to the appropriate technical requirements. The text of the Order can be found at the following Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/ccb/nsd/documents/PART68. HTML.
3. Possible Approach
Two self-declaration procedures can be considered as alternatives to certification: Declaration of Conformity (DOC) and Suppliers' Declaration of Conformity (SDOC).
DOC is an equipment approval procedure under which the party responsible for the equipment's compliance (i.e. the manufacturer, importer, or assembler), has the equipment tested to ensure that it complies with the appropriate technical standards. The party performing such measurements must be a designated or recognized testing laboratory (see footnote 1) according to DES-LAB or REC-LAB procedures established for Phase I of Mutual Recognition Agreements/Arrangements.
SDOC, as defined in the ISO/IEC Guide 22, requires responsible parties to test for and declare conformity of their own equipment with required technical criteria, or at their option, have it tested by an independent laboratory. Unlike the DOC process, SDOC does not require testing of the equipment by a designated/recognized laboratory.
The Declaration of Conformity approach seems to be the most appropriate alternative for the Canadian environment. The following scenario is offered for discussion:
I. Suppliers would demonstrate conformity to telecommunications terminal equipment requirements by providing Industry Canada with a Declaration of Conformity. Suppliers would be required to use the services of designated/recognized testing laboratories.
Some control must exist as part of any self-declaration scheme to make it trustworthy. SDOC, as implemented in the United States, relies strongly on post-market surveillance and severe penalties for non-compliance. Currently, such controls do not exist in the Canadian regulatory environment. With DOC, control is exercised at the beginning of the process, by ensuring that testing laboratories meet some minimum criteria. Laboratory accreditation ensures that measurements are performed by competent organizations and ensures traceability of measurement results. Given that laboratory accreditation is already a requirement in Canada, moving to DOC would require a minimum of change in regulations and it could be implemented fairly quickly.
II. Certification would no longer be required or offered for telecommunications terminal equipment.
The FCC Order allows, as an alternative to SDOC, certification using Telecommunications Certification Bodies (TCBs). Canada does not have any private certification bodies to certify telecommunications terminal equipment, and therefore DOC would be the only option in Canada to demonstrate conformity to technical requirements.
Industry Canada's Certification and Engineering Bureau would no longer certify telecommunications terminal equipment but would continue to perform other functions, such as developing test requirements, providing testing services, maintaining a database of compliant equipment and providing assessment services for suppliers who want test results analysed.
III. A notification to Industry Canada would be required identifying the product subject to declaration of conformity.
The notification could include the following information for listing in the database:
— Filing Number, which consists of:
— Declaring party code (assigned by Industry Canada); and
— Unique Product Number (assigned by declaring party);
— Declaring Party Information:
— Company name and address;
— Contact person (name, mailing address, electronic mail, facsimile, telephone); and
— Contact point in Canada, if any;
— Product Information:
— Manufacturer name and address;
— Model name and/or number (as it appears on the product);
— Type of equipment (from the equipment category code list);
— Ringer Equivalence Number;
— Network interface type; and
— Multiline or single line;
— Product Testing Information:
— Designated/recognized testing laboratory used (name and address); and
— Requirements to which the product was tested (e.g. CS-03, Part I, Issue 8, Amendment 4).
4. Invitation to Comment
Industry Canada, through this consultation, wishes to determine whether the public interest would be served by implementing a new conformity assessment process for telecommunications terminal equipment based on self-declaration. Industry Canada also seeks comments on other issues not addressed here such as labeling/marking requirements, complaint procedures, auditing and suppliers' obligations and liabilities.
Based on the comments received and further consideration of these and any other relevant issues, the Department will, at an appropriate time, announce its decision.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT
RADIOCOMMUNICATION ACT
Notice No. SMSE-017-01 — Public Discussion on a Proposed Importation Monitoring Scheme for Radio and Telecommunications Equipment
1. Intent
The purpose of this notice is to invite public comments on a proposed importation monitoring scheme for radio and telecommunications equipment entering into Canada. This proposal would allow Industry Canada to focus its attention on high risk importers. Through this consultation, the Department of Industry (the Department) seeks to establish whether the public interest would be served if the proposed approach were implemented.
2. Background
Mutual Recognition Agreements/Arrangements (MRAs) have greatly contributed to promote the streamlining of conformity assessment processes. As well, a worldwide trend to deregulation has resulted in having many countries opting for different forms of Declaration of Conformity (DOC) processes. As a result, more and more of the conformity assessment functions will be performed by the manufacturers themselves or by organizations which are not located in Canada. Industry Canada is currently the only organization which certifies radio and terminal equipment for the Canadian market. With Phase II of the MRAs (acceptance of certificates produced by foreign bodies) and potentially DOC for terminal equipment, Industry Canada will have to be much more active in market surveillance activities. Industry Canada has had a minimum involvement in the past with importation monitoring. However, in a market surveillance environment, Industry Canada recognizes that this must change.
In comparison, the United States Customs Agency is collecting information on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) form 740 for radio equipment on behalf of the FCC. The information that has to be provided is quite comprehensive (e.g., FCC ID, harmonized system code, model No., manufacturer, quantity, etc.) and it has to be provided at the time of importation or at least be on file with the U.S. Customs Agency.
3. Current Import Situation
During our discussions with representatives of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) and Canadian industry, the following points emerged with regards to importation aspects.
A new business environment
— CCRA importation and accounting streamlining, putting into practice processes that are founded on the principles of voluntary compliance and self-assessment and which transfers control from Customs systems to that of business operations. Accounting information can be consolidated and provided on a monthly basis.
— Non-targeted importation monitoring schemes are very expensive to implement and maintain.
Importation industry issues
— "Just in time" inventory processes means business sensitivity to delays and other requirements such as requesting additional information to be provided at the time of importation. The industry has raised the point that it is difficult to obtain detailed information in a very short period before the shipment arrives at the border.
— Physical examination at the border is expensive and labour intensive.
— It is expensive for brokers and importers to adapt their pro-cesses and information management systems to provide new data at the time of importation.
4. Proposal
Use "managed risk" based approaches with regards to importation monitoring. Move to the second approach proposed only if the number, type and impact of non-compliances detected in products imported using the first approach persist and justify closer monitoring.
First Approach
This approach will contain two processes:
A. Obtaining currently available importation data on Industry Canada regulated products (B3 data) from CCRA through existing Customs systems. This would be analysed to identify high risk areas. This data is readily available and does not impose additional requirements on importers.
B. Receiving a notification from CCRA when shipments identified as high risk by Industry Canada through, for example, complaints received on products or a past history of non-compliance with Industry Canada requirements by an importer, have entered into Canada.
This approach can readily be implemented in cooperation with CCRA as it would be using existing systems, processes and procedures. No additional data, invoice or form have to be provided by brokers or importers.
Second Approach
The first approach would have already laid much of the groundwork and would continue to be used. The second approach would add two components:
A. Pre-approved importers (low risk) — Industry Canada would set up agreements whereby importers can show that they have a system in place to ensure that only compliant products are imported and that imports could be traced if a problem occurs. These importers will be able to use the normal importation processes with no changes. They would not have to provide specific information at time of importation. Information would be provided to Industry Canada on demand only. This option would allow importers to participate in the CCRA Customs Self-Assessment (CSA) program if they import Industry Canada regulated goods.
B. Other importers (unknown risk) — Industry Canada would require the provision of extra data elements at the time of importation (i.e. model number and Harmonized System code) using the other government Department options of the CCRA Accelerated Customs Release Operations Support System (ACROSS) for targeted Industry Canada regulated products. Preferably, this information would be provided electronically through the existing CCRA ACROSS system. When release information is provided on paper, the release information would be forwarded to Industry Canada.
Industry Canada recognizes that the implementation of this second approach would require the development and/or modifications to importers and brokers systems and would consider this in its implementation plan. This approach would be implemented only if the level of non-compliance with Industry Canada's requirements cannot be addressed effectively through education and enforcement measures.
5. Proposed Implementation
The first approach (notification/analysis of existing Customs data) would be implemented by mid 2001. It would allow an effective and focussed monitoring scheme which can be implemented with a minimum impact on the Industry. Should the first approach prove insufficient or closer monitoring be justified by market behavior, the second approach would then be available to provide a more rigorous monitoring process.
6. Invitation to Comment
Industry Canada, through this public consultation, must determine whether the public interest would be served by implementing the proposed importation monitoring scheme starting with the first approach and moving to the second one only if necessary. Industry Canada invites comments on the above proposal.
Based on the comments received and further consideration of these and any other relevant issues, the Department will, at an appropriate time, announce its decision.
