Dear Dennis and Others,
Thank you very much for your reply online and offline. I contacted Industry
Canada as suggested. IC refers to RSP-100 for an answer. I excerpt a section
below for your reference.
Best regards,

5.3 Multiple Listing
Multiple listing of a certified model is required when a manufacturer or
distributor wishes to list under its name and unique model number, certified
equipment of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
A model of equipment may be multiple-listed to other manufacturers or
distributors based upon the approval granted to the original applicant and
certificate holder.
In order to obtain a multiple-listing certification, the following
documentation must be submitted to the Bureau:
(a) the model number and certification number of the approved equipment;
(b) a signed letter from the original applicant and certificate holder
authorizing the Department to use information on file to grant a
multiple-listing certification. The name/model number and certification number
of the radio equipment must be shown. The letter must also declare that the
model to be multiple-listed is identical in design and construction to the
originally approved model;
(c) a letter, from the applicant, requesting the certification;
(d) completed and signed original copies of Appendix A and Appendix B;
(e) completed and signed copies of Appendix A and Appendix B of RSS-102 -
Radio Frequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All
Frequency Bands); and
(f) a drawing, sample or illustration of the product label.

HI Grace
While it may be a desire of a marketing company to use their name, they
are
not the certificate holder and thus putting only the marketing companies name
on the device would be incorrect. The standard is pretty clear on this issue.
The "the applicant's name (i.e. manufacturer's name, trade name or brand
name), model number and certification number" are to be on the device label.
This however, does not mean that in addition to these the marketing companies
name cannot be on the device.
It should be remembered that the intent of the IC requirements is to
identify
the device and link it to the manufacturer/applicant and the model number and
IC number.
If a more specific interpretation from the IC is desired you may also
contact
certification.bur...@ic.gc.ca.
Thanks

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 in 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.
