To manage this source of exposure, a Code of Practice for a Recommended Concentration of 2-(2-methoxyethoxy) Ethanol (DEGME) in Surface Coating Materials Available to Consumers in Canada was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on November 5, 2016. |
| F&DA (food) | Request data on residual levels of DEGME for new food packaging submissions with direct food contact. | In effect as of March 2009. |
| Authority | Risk management actions | Most recent milestone |
|---|---|---|
| F&DA (cosmetics) | Addition to the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist, prohibiting concentrations greater than 0.5% in cosmetics. | The Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist has been amended. |
| Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) [replaced Part I and Schedule I to the Hazardous Products Act (HPA)] | Investigate whether risk management of paint remover, polyurethane varnish and concrete floor primer needs to be put in place. | Investigation complete under the CCPSA. No action will be taken at this time. Further investigation, including product testing, will take place under other Acts to identify whether risk management needs to be put in place. |
| F&DA (food) | Request data on residual levels of 2-methoxypropanol for new food packaging submissions with direct food contact. | In effect as of March 2009. |
| Authority | Risk management actions | Most recent milestone |
|---|---|---|
| CEPA 1999 | SNAc provisions. | An order amending the DSL was published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, on October 10, 2012. |
