Industry Canada Regulations

Industry Canada published it regulations for ground penetrating radar (GPR) on Mar 29 2009 as part of the
RSS-220 titled 'Devices Using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technology'.

Industry Canada has made a unique exception for GPR by not requiring user licensing. The user does
have to comply with the following directives:

(1) This Ground Penetrating Radar Device shall be operated only when in contact with or within

1 m of the ground.

(2) This Ground Penetrating Radar Device shall be operated only by law enforcement agencies,

scientific research institutes, commercial mining companies, construction companies, and
emergency rescue or firefighting organizations.

Should the ground penetrating radar be used in a wall-penetrating mode then the following restriction
should be noted by the user:

(1) This In-wall Radar Imaging Device shall be operated where the device is directed at the wall

and in contact with or within 20 cm of the wall surface.

(2) This In-wall Radar Imaging Device shall be operated only by law enforcement agencies, sci-

entific research institutes, commercial mining companies, construction companies, and emer-
gency rescue or firefighting organizations.

Since operation of GPR is on a licence-exempt basis, the user must accept the following:

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
