These assessments provide classification insights for hazardous substances under Parts 7 and 8 of the HPR, supporting the creation of accurate safety data sheets (SDSs) and labels. The latest HSAs include new assessments for <strong>1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, Cristobalite, DGBE, Ethylene glycol, Styrene, and Quartz silica<\/strong>, along with a revised assessment for <strong>Acetone<\/strong>. These resources reflect both the former and amended HPR requirements, assisting stakeholders during the ongoing three-year transition period.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these updates, the <strong>fees for exemption claims under the Hazardous Materials Information Review Act (HMIRA)<\/strong> were adjusted as of <strong>April 1, 2025<\/strong>. This annual fee adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index and applies to businesses submitting confidential business information (CBI) claims for hazardous product documentation.<\/p>\n<p>Regulatory engagement efforts continue, with the Workplace Hazardous Products Program participating in the <strong>Canadian Consumer Specialty Products Association 2025 Annual Government Interface<\/strong>. Topics covered included legislative authorities, U.S.-Canada regulatory cooperation, label and SDS record-keeping requirements, and modernization efforts under the HMIRA.<\/p>\n<p>Suppliers and industry stakeholders are encouraged to review the new HSAs and updated fee structure and may provide feedback on assessments or nominate substances for review by contacting Health Canada.<\/p>\n<p>I strongly recommend signing up for our <strong>quarterly free webinars<\/strong> on changes to the <strong>Hazardous Products Act<\/strong> and all <strong>regulations related to the transportation of dangerous goods<\/strong>. These sessions provide essential updates and insights to help you stay compliant with evolving requirements.<\/p>\n<p>ICC Compliance Center has a team of full-time Regulatory Experts who have years of experience and are certified\/recognized in their field of expertise.
