Canada Published Consumer Products Containing Lead Regulations SOR/2018-83
On 23 April 2018, Canada published Consumer Products Containing Lead Regulations SOR/2018-83 to repeal the Consumer Products Containing Lead (Contact with Mouth) Regulations SOR/2010-273. The new regulations will come into force on 24 October 2018 (6 months after publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II).
The new regulations expanded the applied product scope, but the limit of lead for accessible parts is also 90 mg/kg. The new applied scope is as below:
—a product that is brought into contact with the user’s mouth during normal use, except for a kitchen utensil, or a product that is subject to the Glazed Ceramics and Glassware Regulations;
—any clothing or clothing accessory that is intended for use by a child under 14 years of age;
—a product that is intended for use in learning or play by a child under 14 years of age;
—a book or similar printed product that is intended for a child under 14 years of age, except if it is printed on paper or cardboard, and printed and bound in a conventional manner using conventional materials;
—a product whose primary purpose is to facilitate the relaxation, sleep, hygiene, carrying or transportation of a child under four years of age.
