Cyclical Enforcement Project: Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001
Fiscal Year 2015/2016
Summary
The Consumer Product Safety Program (CPSP) administers and enforces the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) and regulations made under it.
The purpose of this Cyclical Enforcement (CE) project was to verify compliance of paint and related products which are subject to the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001.
For this project, compliance of selected consumer chemicals with the CCCR, 2001 was determined by a review of classification documents requested from establishments by Health Canada inspectors.
Prior to initiating this CE project, the CPSP carried out a market survey to quantify the presence of consumer chemical stakeholders in Canada. This effort resulted in a list from which targets were selected.
Over the course of the 2015/16 fiscal year, sixteen inspections of forty-seven different products were carried out. The testing resulted in six recalls, eight stop distributions and twenty commitments to address non-compliance. There were thirteen instances where no corrective action was required.

Disclaimer: A systematic bias is applied during inspection and sampling. Products are not randomly selected but are chosen because they are deemed by the inspector to be more likely to not meet health and safety requirements due to characteristics that are observed. Due to this biased nature of sampling and the fact that sample sizes within CE projects are very small, the findings of CE projects are not intended to reflect overall market compliance unless otherwise stated. Note that these summary reports relate only to the product(s) actually tested and the specific criteria indicated. Testing by Health Canada does not represent approval or endorsement of the product(s).
