I don't know of any, but it is a common mistake for US companies make
in marking the equipment.
Here is the link the following information came from.

A. There are a number of categories of digital apparatus which are exempted
from the
application of ICES-003. These are:
1. Digital apparatus in a transportation vehicle;
2. Digital apparatus used as an electronic control by a public utility or in an
industrial
plant;
3. Digital apparatus used in a power system by a public utility or in an
industrial plant;
4. Digital apparatus used as test equipment in an industrial, commercial or
medical
environment, such as oscilloscopes, frequency counters and spectrum analyzers;
5. Digital apparatus used as a medical computing device, under the direction of
a
qualified health care practitioner;
6. Digital apparatus used in central office telephone equipment operated by a
telecommunications common carrier in a central office;
7. Digital apparatus used in motor-driven appliances or electric heating
devices,
providing that they operate at conventional domestic power line voltages (less
than
150 V to ground) and do not draw more than 20 A steady state current (in the
case
of a motor) or 50 A (in the case of a heating device). Power tools are limited
to
2 kW input power to qualify for this exemption.
Examples of devices that are exempted in this category include sewing
machines,
food processors, electric ranges and hot plates, microwave ovens, oil or gas
furnaces
and associated fans and pumps, vacuum cleaners, electric drills, saws, sanders
and
buffers, and other similar domestic appliances.
8. Digital apparatus having a power consumption of less than 6 nW during
operation;
9. Digital apparatus in which both the highest frequency generated and the
highest
frequency used are less than 1.705 MHz and which are incapable of operation
while
connected to the AC power lines. Devices having provision for operation while
connected to the AC power lines via battery eliminators, AC adaptors or battery
chargers, or while connected indirectly to the AC power lines through another
device, do not qualify for this exemption.
10. Digital apparatus used solely for purposes of demonstration and exhibition.
This,
however, is subject to special conditions, which are explained in Question 13.
11. Digital apparatus used as prototype units.
Q 7. What are the labelling requirements?
A. Each unit of digital apparatus is required to be provided with a written
notice indicating
compliance with ICES-003. The notice must be in the form of a label that is
affixed to
the unit. (Question 8 deals with cases for which a label cannot feasibly be
affixed to a
device.) While this notice may be combined with that required by the FCC, it
must
clearly indicate compliance with Canadian ICES-003. ICES-003, Issue 3 provides a
suggested wording for the notice, which is reproduced in Question 9 of this
bulletin.
The requirement to affix a label is not mandatory for models of digital
apparatus whose
compliance testing was completed before April 1, 1995. These are permitted to
comply
with the labelling requirements of ICES-003, Issue 1, which remained in effect
until
March 31, 1995. The labelling requirements of ICES-003, Issue 1 state that a
written
notice indicating compliance must accompany each unit, and it may be either in
the form
of a label that is affixed to the device, or in the form of a statement printed
in the user's
manual.
Q 8. Are there any provisions for equipment that can't be labelled?
A. If, because of insufficient space or other constraints, it is not feasible
to affix a label to
the equipment, it will be permissible to print the notice of compliance in the
user's
manual. (For these purposes, a user's manual may be in machine-readable format,
such as
a floppy disk.) Examples of other constraints which would be considered to make
labelling unfeasible are those for which the label would cause the device to
malfunction
or prevent its operation. The effect of a label on the appearance of the device
is not a
valid constraining factor. Within these considerations, the manufacturer or
importer is
