Do not panic, you have a 3-year transition period. With that said, it is never too early to get started, and trust me, please do not procrastinate, and leave it to 3-months before the deadline!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should you do now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Review your chemical inventory. Identify if all the products are active and require an update.<\/li>\n<li>Once you identify the products that need updating, establish a budget. Whether you will do the updating yourself, need to contact the manufacturers to get updated documents, or outsource to ICC, it will take time and money.<\/li>\n<li>Establish a timeline. Do you want to be an early adopter, midway through the transition or towards the end? If you have many documents, you need to plan early. Consider the resources you have, or the lead-time for an outside provider like ICC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Since the standardize phrases are different from Version 3 (USA) or Version 5 (Canada), your labels may need to be updated as well. You need to consider the timing of the label change-over, so it matches the SDS.<\/p>\n<p>While you are doing your planning, ICC is as well. We are looking forward to working with everyone again. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/regulatory-services-information-request\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a> to discuss your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/services\/sds-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safety Data Sheet<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/services\/labeling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Label<\/a> needs.
