# ISED Canada certification number (IC ID) (`ca_ised_certification_number`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Certification number of radio equipment in Canada, issued under Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED, formerly Industry Canada) and printed on the device label after the prefix IC:. It joins the company number that ISED assigns and, after a hyphen, the unique product number of up to 11 capital letters and digits that the applicant chooses. Sources give different lengths for the company number, so the pattern accepts one to seven characters. The United States counterpart is the FCC ID (fccid).
