The EMC standard ICES-005 issue 5 for lighting equipment was published on Canada ISED website in December 2018 to replace the ICES-005 issue 4 issued in December 2015. The deadline of its transition period is June 1, 2019. During this period, reports comply with ICES -005 issue 4 or ICES -005 issue 5 are acceptable. After the transitional period, all products under the control of this standard and continue to be produced, imported, distributed, leased or sold in Canada shall meet the requirements of ICES-005 issue 5.

Major changes of ICES-005 issue 5 compared with the previous edition:

◆ clarified what types of lighting equipment are in the scope of this standard;

◆ removed requirements that are specified in ICES-Gen and referred to ICES-Gen for all general requirements，except where a requirement in ICES-Gen contradicts a requirement in this standard, in which case this standard shall take precedence.

ISED will transition this lighting equipment regulatory standard (i.e. ICES-005) to one solely based on CISPR 15 or a North American version of CISPR 15 within a maximum of two years from the publication of this issue of ICES-005.
