  3. RSS Current Activities (2) COMPLETED RABC Discussion RSS-102 (Issue 5) -Radio Frequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands) RABC consultation completed Tentative to be published in 4nd Quarter of FY 2013-2014 RSS-195 (Issue 2) - Wireless Communications Service (WCS) Equipment Operating in the Bands 2305‑2320 MHz and 2345-2360 MHz RABC consultation completed Tentative to be published in 1rd Quarter of 2014 RSS-199 (Issue 2) - Broadband Radio Service (BRS) Equipment Operating in the band 2500-2690 MHz RABC consultation completed RABC consultation completed Tentative to be published in 1rd Quarter of 2014 RSS-222 (Issue 1) – TV White Space Devices RABC consultation completed RSS-287 (Issue 2) Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB), Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT), Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), and Maritime Survivor Locator Devices (MSLD) - RABC Consultation completed - Tentative to be published in1rd Quarter of 2014

  4. RSS Current Activities (3) • REVISIONS IN PROGRESS: • RSS-Gen (Issue 4) - General Requirements and Information for the Certification of Radio Apparatus • - notice on receivers released in January 2012 • RSP-100 – Procedure for the Certification of Radio Apparatus • RSS-111 ( Issue 5) - Broadband Public Safety Equipment Operating in the Band 4940-4990 MHz - to update requirements to harmonize with FCC rules • RSS-119 (Issue 12) – Radio Transmitters and Receivers Operating in the Land Mobile and Fixed Service in the Frequency Range 27.41-960 MHz - to include emission mask for 6.25 kHz channel spacing equipment in 800MHz • - to review transmitter power to harmonize with SRSP limits • - currently under internal review • RSS-131 (Issue 3) – Zone Enhancers for the Land Mobile Service • - to review with a view to harmonize with FCC rules

  5. REVISIONS IN PROGRESS (Cont’d): RSS-210 (Issue 9) - Licence-exempt Radio Apparatus (All Frequency Bands): Category I Equipment Updates to reflect changes in RSS-Gen, RSP-100 and RSS-310 RSS-213 (Issue 3) - 2 GHz Licence-exempt Personal Communications Service Devices (LE-PCS) updating measurement methods RSS-220(Issue 2) –Device using Ultra-wideband (UWB) Technology RSS-310 (Issue 4) - Licence-exempt Radio Apparatus (All Frequency Bands): Category II Equipment - Under ground radio apparatus. RSS Current Activities (4)

  6. NEW STANDARDS IN DEVELOPMENT: RSS-216 (Issue 1) – Personal Wireless Power Transfer Devices currently under internal discussion RSS-211 (Issue 1) – Level Probing Radar Deivces (LPR) currently under internal discussion to include new requirements related to Probing Radars Will impact RSS-210 Annex 11 RSS-247 (Issue 1) - Local Area Network Devices New standard that will merge Annexes 8 and 9 of RSS-210, and new requirements related to Wi-Fi devices; RSS Current Activities (5)

  8. Update on ICES (1) NEWLY PUBLISHED: ICES-002(Issue 6) - Spark Ignition Systems of Vehicles and Other Devices Quipped with Internal Combustion Engines, March 2013 ICES-004 (Issue 4) - Alternating Current High Voltage Power System, June2013 REVISIONS IN PROGRESS: ICES-001 (Issue 5) - ISM Radio Frequency Generator Internal Review

  9. Update on ICES (2) Revisions in progress (continued): ICES-005(Issue 4) - Radio Frequency Lighting Devices ICES – 005, FCC Part 18 and CISPR 15 are not harmonized in term of applicable limits. In CISPR 15, the method of measurements and limits are categorized according to the type of RF lighting apparatus while in ICES-005 they reflect the class (A or B) of equipment. Monitoring the possible inclusion of LED luminaires (CISPR 15) Looking at adopting CISPR 15.

  10. CISPR/IEC Meetings in Ottawa • 300 participants (26 countries) • TC77, TC106, CISPR, CISRP A, B, F, H and I • CISPR, A, B, F, H, I (Chairs terms end in 2016) • Majors issues: • Smart Grid (in particular in the range 9 kHz to 150 kHz) • e-mobility (Wireless Chargers) • Grid Power Converters (Emission Meas.) • Electric Vehicles (including the use of wired and wireless battery charging systems) • CISPR 32 will replace CISPR 13 and CISPR 22 as these two standards are planned to be withdrawn in 2017 http://www.iec.ch/emc/explained/
