Do FCC and ISED approvals automatically carry over to other countries?

No. FCC approval applies only in the United States, and ISED approval applies only in Canada. While the technical test methods and limits are harmonized in many areas, regulatory acceptance varies by jurisdiction. A product legally sold in the US and Canada may still require a separate conformity assessment for Europe, the UK, Japan, Korea, Australia, or other markets. Even within North America, differences in labeling, user manual statements, exposure classifications, and database filings mean you cannot treat FCC and ISED as interchangeable or globally sufficient.
