Canada - Updated Requirements for Surface Coating Materials
On June 22nd, 2022, Canada published the Regulations Amending Certain Regulations Made Under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (Surface Coating Materials): SOR/2022-122.
The new regulations amend the Surface Coating Materials Regulations (SOR/2016-193) and four other regulations under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) that set requirements for applied coating materials: The Toys Regulations (SOR/2011-17), the Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations (SOR/2016-152), the Expansion Gates and Expandable Enclosures Regulations (SOR/2016-179) as well as the Playpens Regulations (SOR/2018-186).
SOR/2022-122 will (a) align and clarify the requirements across regulations under the CCPSA; (b) improve alignment with the United States, which will facilitate trade; and (c) reduce regulatory costs by simplifying testing and removing requirements that do not benefit human health.
