I must applaud the inclusion of the multiple certifications for Europe and North America. At least this will alleviate any possible delays based on testing.
I am curious as to what the "Canadian thing" was that had to be tested?
Kevin,
I'm not as confident as you seem to be that the testing done so far will
"alleviate any possible delays based on testing".
The FCC rules, Title 47, section 15.3 "Definitions", paragraph i, say:
"Class B digital device. A digital device that is marketed for use in a
residential environment, notwithstanding use in commercial, business
and industrial environments. Examples of such devices include, but
are not limited to, personal computers, calculators, and similar
electronic devices that are marketed for use by the general public."
But apparently, Class B testing has not been done, even though the
RPi is being marketed as a PC for use in residential environments.
There is another section, 15.32 "Test procedures for CPU boards
and computer power supplies", but it doesn't seem to have been
followed, from what we know. It refers to testing within an enclosure
with the cover removed.
