The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) recently withdrew 35 textile standards, including several standards referenced in regulations under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), and started work on new editions.

CGSB notice of intent to develop new editions of the withdrawn standards:   https://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/ongc-cgsb/programme-program/normes-standards/notification/sect1b-eng.html#s3

Health Canada wishes to inform stakeholders that although the standards have been withdrawn by CGSB, they still remain in effect under the applicable CCPSA regulations.

Once new editions of the CGSB standards are published, Health Canada will amend regulations under the CCPSA as needed to update testing requirements for affected textile products.
