Canada notified a Regulation amending certain regulations made under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (Surface Coating Materials)

The proposed regulatory amendments notified in G/TBT/N/CAN/640 (dated 28 April 2021) were adopted and published June 22, 2022 as the Regulations Amending Certain Regulations Made Under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (Surface Coating Materials).

The Regulations Amending Certain Regulations Made Under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (Surface Coating Materials) under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act amend existing regulatory requirements for surface coating materials and applied coating materials under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act so that they are clear, consistent and relevant to a broader range of coating materials (including stickers, films and similar materials) and better aligned with the United States, so that they do not impose an undue compliance burden on industry. The amendments also give Health Canada the necessary tools to act quickly to remove non-compliant products from the market and help protect Canadians.
