Lighters Regulations updated to reference 2025 edition of U.S. federal testing standard
Lighters Regulations — under the CANADA CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
The Lighters Regulations have been amended to update the reference to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) from the January 1, 2004 edition to the January 1, 2025 edition. This means that lighter manufacturers and importers must now comply with testing and performance requirements aligned to the newer version of that U.S. standard. The amendment also makes a minor French-language correction to the refuelling instruction requirements for wick lighters, with no change to the English text. Businesses that manufacture or import lighters into Canada should review the updated CFR edition to confirm their products and testing procedures remain compliant.
