| Class | Environment | Emission Limits | |-------|-------------|------------------| | | Industrial, commercial, or business environments | Higher allowed emissions (since interference is less critical in heavy industrial zones) | | Class B | Residential environments | Stricter limits (to protect home TV, radio, and medical equipment) |
This article clarifies the distinction between hardware emissions standards and driver software, explaining what ICES-003 Class B actually regulates and how your graphics card driver plays a role in maintaining compliance. ICES-003 stands for Interference-Causing Equipment Standard 003 . It is a regulatory standard set by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) , formerly known as Industry Canada. ices 003 class b graphics card driver
In the world of PC hardware, compliance labels such as "ICES-003 Class B" are often found on power supplies, motherboards, and complete computer systems. However, a common point of confusion is whether a graphics card driver itself can be classified as "ICES-003 Class B," or what that term means in the context of a GPU. | Class | Environment | Emission Limits |
