Key Terms

federal communications commission (fcc), radio frequency (rf) energy, iso/iec 17025, cfr title 47 fcc part 15, +4 more
8 terms
federal communications commission (fcc) regulatory
"passed electronic emissions testing required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)"
A U.S. government agency that acts like a traffic cop for airwaves and communications services, overseeing radio, television, cable, satellite, and certain aspects of internet and wireless spectrum. Its rules, licenses and enforcement actions shape which companies can operate, how much spectrum they can use, and what services they may offer — outcomes that directly affect revenues, costs, competitive advantage and regulatory risk for investors in communications and media businesses.
radio frequency (rf) energy technical
"devices—primarily those that emit radio frequency (RF) energy—before they can be marketed"
Radio frequency (RF) energy is a form of invisible electromagnetic waves—like a focused radio or microwave—that can carry signals or deliver controlled heat to tissue in medical devices. Investors should care because RF energy determines how products perform, how they are regulated and cleared for use, and how they compete on safety, effectiveness and interference with other devices—factors that directly affect market acceptance, liability and revenue potential.
iso/iec 17025 technical
"Cannabix has received an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited test report confirming compliance"
An internationally recognized accreditation for testing and calibration laboratories that confirms they produce reliable, traceable results and follow consistent quality controls. Think of it like a professional license for labs: it shows their methods, equipment and staff competence meet independent standards, which matters to investors because accredited test data lowers technical and regulatory risk, supports product claims, and can speed approvals, supplier selection, and market trust.
cfr title 47 fcc part 15 regulatory
"conducted in accordance with CFR Title 47 FCC Part 15 for the U.S. market"
A section of U.S. federal rules that sets limits and testing requirements for electronic devices that emit radio signals, like Wi‑Fi routers, Bluetooth gadgets, and many consumer electronics, to prevent harmful interference with other communications. For investors, compliance is like having a safety inspection: products that meet these rules can be sold and avoid costly recalls, fines, or blocked market access, while noncompliance can damage revenue and reputation.
ices-003 regulatory
"testing was completed in conformance with ICES-003 Issue 7, the Canadian standard"
ICES-003 is a Canadian technical standard that sets limits on the electromagnetic noise that digital equipment can emit so it does not interfere with radio, cellular and broadcast signals. For investors, it matters because products that fail this test cannot be legally sold or may need redesign, re-testing or recalls, which can delay launches, raise costs and affect revenue — similar to needing a safety certificate before selling a household appliance.
innovation, science and economic development canada (ised) regulatory
"standard for electronic devices published by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED)"
A federal Canadian department that designs and enforces national policy and programs affecting industry, science, technology and economic growth. Think of it as the government’s business toolkit: it hands out research and innovation funding, sets rules for telecommunications and digital infrastructure, and manages programs that affect market access and competitiveness. Investors watch its decisions because grants, regulatory choices and spectrum or licensing rulings can change a company’s costs, growth opportunities and competitive position.
liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (lc-ms) medical
"for analysis using gold-standard liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods"
An analytical lab technique that first separates a mixture into its components (like passing a soup through finer and finer sieves) and then measures each component’s unique mass signature (like taking a molecular fingerprint). Investors care because LC-MS is a primary tool for verifying drug purity, detecting trace contaminants, measuring biomarker levels in trials, and supporting regulatory filings—results that affect a product’s safety, approval prospects, and commercial value.
telecommunication certification body (tcb) regulatory
"QAI has Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) designation by the FCC"
A telecommunication certification body (TCB) is an accredited organization authorized to test and approve telecom and wireless equipment against government technical, interference and safety rules, much like a licensed inspector signs off that a new appliance is safe and fits local wiring standards. For investors, TCB approval is a practical gatekeeper to market access and revenue: lacking certification can delay sales, add costs or create regulatory risk, while timely approvals speed product launch and reduce compliance uncertainty.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTCID: BLOZF) (Frankfurt: 8CT) (the “Company or Cannabix”) is pleased to announce that the Cannabix Breath Collection Unit (BCU) has successfully passed electronic emissions testing required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The handheld BCU (Figures 1 and 2) along with Cannabix’s proprietary Breath Cartridges, forms the core hardware of the Marijuana Breath Test (MBT) system. Cannabix is completing the necessary regulatory steps required for the US and Canadian markets. Completion of emissions testing is a key milestone towards commercialization.

Highlights:

  • The BCU has achieved a key step by passing US and Canadian electronic emissions testing standards for this innovative device.
  • Cannabix MBT provides the ability to collect a stable breath sample to test for the recent use of marijuana.
  • Engineering work over recent months and device design updates have focussed on meeting compliance requirements for anticipated commercialization.

Electronic emissions testing is required by the FCC for certain electronic devices—primarily those that emit radio frequency (RF) energy—before they can be marketed or sold in the United States. Cannabix has received an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited test report confirming compliance with electronic emissions standards.

The electronic emissions testing for the Cannabix BCU was conducted in accordance with CFR Title 47 FCC Part 15 for the U.S. market. Additionally, testing was completed in conformance with ICES-003 Issue 7, the Canadian standard for electronic devices published by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED). Similar to the FCC in the United States, ISED sets limits and measurement methods for RF emissions and administrative requirements for electronic devices sold or used in Canada.

Testing was performed at QAI Laboratories in British Columbia. QAI has Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) designation by the FCC and is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab recognized in both the U.S. and Canada for electrical safety evaluations and certification.

The Marijuana Breath Test (MBT) system incorporates Cannabix’s proprietary Breath Collection Unit and Breath Cartridge technologies, designed to collect and preserve breath samples for analysis using gold-standard liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods. Cannabix has a strategic partnership with Omega Laboratories Inc, a global leader in forensic drug testing for over 25 years. Omega holds multiple federal and international certifications and operates a world-class facility with extensive experience in novel drug detection technologies. Together, Cannabix and Omega are advancing the commercialization of the MBT system for customers in the U.S. and Canada.
