Canada Adds 27 Substances to Domestic Substances List

Post Date:2013-04-11　 Editor:Marketing Department　 Hits:3401　[ Back ]

The Canada Gazette announced Orders 2012-87-10-01 and 2012-112-10-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List (DSL).

Of the 27 substances added to the DSL by the two orders 15 will have their chemical names masked to protect confidential business information.

The DSL is a list of substances or living organisms that are considered "existing" for the purposes of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). "New" substances or living organisms which are not on the DSL are subject to notification and assessment requirements before they can be manufactured in or imported into Canada. These requirements are set out in section 81 of CEPA 1999 or the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) for substances and in section 106 of CEPA 1999 or the New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms) for living organisms
