The Canadian Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) has released two new procedural documents related to the assessment of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) compliance in accordance with RSS-102. Finalized on August 15, 2025, these documents are the result of a public consultation process and provide updated methodologies for both measurement- and simulation-based compliance testing.

The new publications are:

• RSS-102.SAR.MEAS – Procedure for Measuring Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Compliance According to RSS-102 (Version 2)
• RSS-102.SAR.SIM – Procedure for Simulating Compliance Assessment of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) as per RSS-102 (Version 1)

With these updates, ISED aims to ensure consistency and clarity in demonstrating SAR compliance for radio equipment operating on the Canadian market.
