Grace, Charles My understanding is that model number and brand name on the label need to match the information related to the IC number that is detailed on Canada's Radio Equipment List (REL) ... follow the link on the left side of Industry Canada's wireless certification page ht p://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/ceb-bhst.nsf/en/h_tt00010e.html
There are ways to get variants with a new model number with the same brand name (family listing) or different brand name (multiple listing) onto the REL but these do require that an application be filed and, in the case of a multiple listing, the new company have a Canadian Company Number.

Although the standard states very specifically that it must be the manufacturers name etc on the label, you can – by going through a TCB, get the label listed the way you describe. Chas ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Grace Lin Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 12:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Labeling Requirements per Industry Canada Dear Members, Could someone please advise if a marketing company is able to mark an Industry Canada certified OEM product by using the manufacturer's (applicant's) IC number and the marketing company's name and model number? I excerpt Section 5.2 of RSS-Gen below for your convenience. If yes for the above question, is there any procedure we or our OEM supplier has to follow (permissive change, etc.) ? Thank you and look forward to hear from you. Best regards, Grace Lin " All Category I radio equipment intended for use in Canada shall permanently display on each transmitter, receiver, or inseparable combination thereof, the applicant's name (i.e. manufacturer's name, trade name or brand name), model number and certification number. This information shall be affixed in such a manner as not to be removable except by destruction or defacement. The size of the lettering shall be legible without the aid of magnification but is not required to be larger than 8-point font size. If the device is too small to meet this condition, the information can be included i n the user manual upon agreement with Industry Canada . The label for medical implants which are designed to be used within the human body, can be placed on the package and user manual. The certification number is made up of a Company Number (CN) assigned by the Bureau followed by the Unique Product Number (UPN ), assigned by the applicant. The certification number shall appear as follows: "IC: XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYY" Where: * "XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYY" is the certification number; * "XXXXXX" is the Company Number (CN) assigned by Industry Canada , made of at most 6 alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), including a letter at the end of the CN to distinguish between different company addresses; * "YYYYYYYYYYY" is the Unique Product Number (UPN ) assigned by the applicant, made of at most 11 alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9); and * the letters "IC" have no other meaning or purpose than to identify the Industry Canada certification number. Permitted alphanumerical characters used in the CN and UPN are limited to capital letters (A-Z) and digits (0-9). An example of the new format for a company having a CN of "21A" and wishing to use a UPN of "WILAN3" would thus be: IC: 21A-WILAN3. Each equipment model shall be explicitly identified. The use of characters, such as #, / or -, in the certification number is not allowed. The use of "wild card" characters in the model number (for the purpose of identifying multiple models with one name) is not allowed. Equipment that has received certification but is not labelled with the applicant's name, model number and the certification number as outlined above is not considered certified. Category II equipment shall be labelled in accordance with the requirements of RSS -310.
