Electronics and ISED-regulated Products 

What is the Policy?  

Walmart Marketplace Canada prohibits any electronic products that do not comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada regulations. Any product offered for sale on Walmart Marketplace Canada that is subject to the Innovation Science Economic Development (ISED) Canada rules and regulations governing the use of radio frequency (RF) energy must be certified under the applicable ISED equipment rules and regulations. 

Radio frequency (RF) devices can interfere with licensed radio communications, so they must be authorized under appropriate ISED rules before they can be advertised, imported, sold, or used in Canada. Also, the ISED requires certain information to be placed on the product and the information provided to users. For more information, visit the links below. 

• Certification and Engineering Bureau 

• Equipment Certification 

• RSP-100 – Certification of Radio Apparatus and Broadcasting Equipment 

These requirements apply to devices that intentionally emit RF energy and devices that use RF energy internally in their operation. 

• These devices must be tested to demonstrate compliance with the ISED’s RF emissions standards. 
• Devices that intentionally emit RF energy must be labelled with an ISED ID number (Shown as IC ID number on devices). 
• Specific ISED information must either be printed on the device or in the materials made available to users. 

Examples of devices that intentionally emit RF and require ISED authorization include, but are not limited to: 

• Cellular and other mobile phones 
• Devices with cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other wireless connectivity, such as wireless routers, electronic tablets, two-way radios, Bluetooth speakers, radio-controlled toys, wireless microphones, and drones 
• Automatic identification system (AIS) devices  

• Signal boosters 

• Broadcast transmitters, such as FM modulators 

Examples of devices that use RF energy internally in their operation, but do not intentionally emit RF energy. The devices below require ISED authorization as well.
