label identifies certified equipment.
This certification means that the

telecommunications network
protective operational and safety
requirements. The Department
does not guarantee that the

user’s satisfaction. Before installing
this equipment, users should
ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the

method of connection. In some
cases, the company’s inside
wiring associated with a single
line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified
connector assembly (telephone
extension cord). The customer
should be aware that compliance
with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in
some situations. Repairs to certified
equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance
facility designated by the supplier.
