Description:  The proposed regulatory amendments notified in G/TBT/N/CAN/640 (dated 28 April 
2021) were adopted and published June 22, 2022 as the Regulations Amending Certain Regulations 
Made Under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (Surface Coating Materials).  
The Regulations Amending Certain Regulations Made Under the Canada Consumer Product Safety 
Act (Surface Coating Materials)  under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act amend existing 
regulatory requirements for surface coating materials and applied coating ma terials under the 
Canada Consumer Product Safety Act so that they are clear, consistent and relevant to a broader 
range of coating materials (including stickers, films and similar materials) and better aligned with 
the United States, so that they do not im pose an undue compliance burden on industry. The 
amendments also give Health Canada the necessary tools to act quickly to remove non -compliant 
products from the market and help protect Canadians.
