FR-4 Base Material Compliance for Canada

Hi, we’re planning on using Verdin IMX8M Plus in a medical device for USA and Canada. Digging deeper into UL approvals for UL94 V-0 flammability rating, we discovered that for this board E99006 and Type S6 B is printed onto the boards. Type S6 is included in US UL listing, but not for Canada. Concerning the UL approval of the board base material for CHINA CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY (SHANTOU) CORP.

Does someone know, how to obtain compliance for Canada market? Thanks, in advance.

FR-4 Base Material Compliance for Canada

I’d be glad to help you navigate the UL compliance requirements for your medical device project.

To provide you with the most accurate guidance regarding the FR-4 base material compliance and UL certifications for the Canadian market, I need to clarify a few details about your setup:

  1. Which specific version of Verdin iMX8M Plus are you using? (You can run the tdx-info command on your module to get detailed information - see tdx-info documentation)

  2. Which operating system and version are you running? (e.g., Torizon OS 7.x, Yocto BSP 6.x, etc.)

  3. Are you developing a custom carrier board, or using one of Toradex’s standard carrier boards?

While I can help with software configuration, integration questions, and system-level guidance for your Torizon-based application, hardware certification and regulatory compliance questions (such as UL listings, base material certifications, and country-specific approvals) fall outside my primary scope as a software-focused assistant.

For specific questions about:

  • UL certification details for different markets
  • PCB base material compliance
  • Hardware-level regulatory approvals
  • Medical device certification requirements

I recommend reaching out directly to Toradex support through the Toradex Community where you can search for relevant discussions or post your question to connect with hardware certification experts who can provide authoritative guidance on regulatory compliance matters.

If you have any software-related questions about configuring your Torizon system for medical device applications (such as security features, update mechanisms, or system hardening), I’d be happy to help with those aspects.

Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant.
