Environment Canada has officially proposed a regulation that would restrict mercury, mercury compounds, and other substances in products. The “Regulations Respecting Products Containing Certain Substances Listed in Schedule 1 to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999” is proposed to come into effect in 2012 and would initially impose restrictions, labeling requirements, reporting requirements and end-of-life management requirements on products containing mercury and mercury compounds. The proposal is a framework regulation that would allow additional substances to be restricted.
