Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
The entire Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2012 (SOR/2012-285) have been repealed. All of the rules in that instrument — including the prohibitions on manufacturing, using, selling, importing or offering for sale the listed toxic substances and products containing them, the permit regime, laboratory-use notification requirements, annual reporting obligations, and record-keeping requirements — are no longer in force under this regulation. Businesses and laboratories that previously relied on permitted-use exemptions or held permits under this framework should confirm what successor rules, if any, now govern their activities under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Anyone who was tracking compliance obligations under SOR/2012-285 should review the current regulatory landscape to determine whether other instruments now apply to the substances formerly covered here.
Who this affects: chemical manufacturers and importers · product importers and sellers · industrial and commercial users of regulated toxic substances · laboratory operators using listed substances for analysis or research · businesses holding or applying for permits under the former regulation
