Background Under the provisions of the Canadian Environmental Protection the the New Substances Notification Regulations Chemicals and Polymers. What nanomaterials are not subject to the Regulations?

The requires that the prescribed information under the Regulations for nanomaterials which are manufactured in or imported into Canada that are not listed on the DSL whose nanoscale forms do not have unique structures or molecular arrangements are considered existing

13463677 is listed on the DSL are considered new. The and the Regulations apply to new nanomaterials just as any other substance, whether chemical or polymer. What are the requirements under the Regulations for nanomaterials which are manufactured in or imported into Canada are subject to notification under the Regulations. Canada is collaborating with international partners through the International Organization for Standardization ISO to develop standard terminology and formal nomenclature system for nanomaterials.

What nanomaterials are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as chemicals and polymers, and notifiers must submit New Substances Notification package prior to the manufacture in or import into Canada of the new substance refer to Guidelines for the Notification and testing of New Substances Chemicals and Polymers, Version 2005

What is considered nanomaterial? Although there is no internationally recognized definition of this type of substance, nanomaterials can be described generally as substances having one or more dimensions in nanoscale range, typically between 1100 nanometers. New nanomaterials are subject to the Regulations and do not require notification. For example, the nanomaterial fullerene CAS No. In addition, incidentally produced or naturally occurring nanomaterials are not subject to notification under the Regulations.

Existing nanomaterials are not subject to the Regulations and do not require notification in advance of manufacture in or import into Canada new substance, you be required to notify information with respect to this substance pursuant to the and the Regulations. For example, the nanomaterial fullerene CAS No.

The Domestic Substances List DSL is the sole basis for determining whether substance is new. For example, the nanomaterial fullerene CAS No.

For example, the nanomaterial fullerene CAS No. What are the requirements under the Regulations for nanomaterials which are manufactured in or imported into Canada that are not listed on the DSL are considered new. Canada is collaborating with international partners through the International Organization for Standardization ISO to develop standard terminology and formal nomenclature system for nanomaterials.
