Ken's description is accurate. Industry Canada previously accepted FCC registration as proof of compliance with canadian requirements and than discovered that a violation of the FCC requirments did not form a basis for enforcing canadian rules. Hence the need to have this statement about compliance with Canadian rules.
Unfortunately, the industry missed this event and were all of a sudden faced with this change. ITAC (the Information Technology Association of Canada) arranged for a meeting with Garth and his boss and they agreed on not enforcing the rule for some period, so we could ease in. There you have it. We are still trying the powers that be to agree on a common mark between the NAFTA countries and worldwide that says "CISPR22" and that is a DOC to the effect that you meet those requirements.
