The Industry Canada IC ID is comprised of two parts, the first part is a manufacturer’s identifier. This is a short alphanumeric identifier that is unique to each manufacturer of a device. This part of the identifier can contain numbers and letters.
The second part of the IC ID is a manufacturer chosen model identifier. This part of the IC ID can contain numbers, letters, and hyphens. Older IC IDs (pre-1995) may also contain parentheses and periods, but these are no longer acceptable characters for IC Identifiers.
