On August 15, 2025, ISED Canada released standard updates for RSS-102.SAR.MEAS, issue 2 and RSS-102.SAR.SIM, issue 1.

Within RSS-102.SAR.MEAS, issue 2, the key changes are as follows:

• New requirements and clarifications for time-averaged SAR (TAS) for algorithm approvals and final product implementations including wireless wide area networks (WWANs),wireless local area networks (WLANs), and non-terrestrial networks (NTN) and Bluetooth (BT)

• New requirements on time-averaged absorbed power density (TA-APD) for WLAN devices operating in the 5925-7125 MHz

• New requirement for TAS measurements allowed to be conducted with an array class 2 fast SAR system as per IEC/IEEE 62209-1528

• Clarified test procedure for foldable devices

• New requirements for TAS foldable devices and spatially separated antennas

• New requirements for multiple TAS applications

• New guidance for TAS motion sensor

• New test method for devices with protrusions.

Within RSS-102.SAR.SIM, issue 1, the content is nearly identical to SPR-002 issue 2, with the following exceptions:

• The requirements for SAR measurements are located in RSS-102.SAR.MEAS, issue 1

• The requirements for nerve stimulation (NS)-related measurements are located in RSS-102.NS.MEAS, issue 1

• The requirements for NS-related simulations are located in RSS-102.NS.SIM, issue 1

• The frequency range is extended from 100 kHz to 6 GHz and the dielectric properties are adjusted, accordingly

• The SAM phantom is introduced

• The requirements for calculation of the uncertainty are clarified.
