Substance 88-14-2 Added to Domestic List

Summary#

This notice records Order 2022-87-05-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. It deletes the entry 88-14-2 from the Non‑domestic Substances List because that substance has been added to the Domestic Substances List. The order was signed by Steven Guilbeault on July 18, 2022 and published in the Canada Gazette on July 30, 2022.

What it does#

• Deletes the entry 88-14-2 from Part I of the Non‑domestic Substances List.
• Says the order takes effect on the same day that Order 2022-87-05-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List comes into force.
• Records that the substance referred to was added to the Domestic Substances List under the Act.

Who's affected#

• Companies that make, import, sell or use the substance listed as 88-14-2 (chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors).
• Federal regulators and people who track which chemicals are on Canada’s domestic and non‑domestic lists.
• The notice does not name the substance in everyday terms, so it is unclear from this item exactly which product or chemical is affected.

Why it matters#

• Moving a substance from the non‑domestic list to the domestic list is an administrative step that signals the substance is now recognized as present in Canadian commerce.
• That change can affect which reporting, assessment or control measures apply under Canadian environmental law, so businesses handling the substance may have different regulatory obligations.
• For most members of the public this is a routine regulatory update with no immediate practical impact, but businesses and regulators should note the change and check any follow‑up guidance.
