On 14 May 2022, the proposed Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2022 was published in the Canada Gazette. A 75-day public consultation has been opened and will be end on July 28, 2022.
The proposed Regulations would repeal and replace the Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2012 (current Regulations) on the day the final Regulations come into force.
The proposed Regulations introduce restrictions on the manufacture, use, sale and import of DP (Dechlorane Plus) and DBDPE (Decabromodiphenyl ethane), and products containing these substances.
The proposed Regulations would also further restrict the manufacture, use, sale and import of PFOS, PFOA, LC-PFCAs, HBCD and PBDEs, and products containing these substances, by removing certain exemptions or limiting certain activities, which are allowed under the current Regulations. In addition, the proposed Regulations would also include concentration thresholds for these substances at or below which their presence would be considered incidental and the prohibition would not apply.
