Proposed Amendments to the Hazardous Products (Glazed Ceramics and Glassware) Regulations

Health Canada’s proposed amendments to the Hazardous Products (Glazed Ceramics and Glassware) Regulations are available on their web site, at:

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hecs-sesc/cps/reg_proposals.htm#ceramics

Their comment is that the proposed changes will have little or no impact on stakeholders, as most already comply with the 1999 SGCD (Society of Glass and Ceramic Decorators) standard for lead and cadmium leachate levels, and Health Canada hopes to have the amendments approved for pre-publication in Part I of the Canada Gazette as quickly as possible.

Members with an interest in commenting on this matter should contact Jason Rancourt at the Consumer Product Safety Bureau, e-mail [email protected], or by phone at 613-957-8852.
