Description

The proposed Certain Products Containing Toxic Substances Regulations (the proposed Regulations) seek to reduce releases of toxic substances from products used in Canada to levels that are protective of the environment and human health. The proposed Regulations would prohibit the manufacture, import and sale of certain coal tar-based sealant products and certain sealants containing levels above 1000 ppm in 2025. The provisions also contain exemptions to the prohibitions and a transition period for certain sectors. The proposed Regulations would also include 2-BE, a toxic substance that is currently regulated under the 2-Butoxyethanol Regulations, which would be repealed and amalgamated under this initiative. The proposed Regulations are therefore designed as a single vehicle to manage the risks associated with multiple ecological and health toxic substances in products.The proposed Regulations also include general provisions for permits and record keeping.
