CAS 1318-02-1 Added to Domestic Substances List

Summary#

This is Order 2021-66-10-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List (SOR/2021-262). It adds the substance identified by CAS number 1318-02-1 to Part 1 of the Domestic Substances List and came into force when registered on December 21, 2021 (published in the Canada Gazette on January 5, 2022).

What it does#

• Adds the chemical with CAS 1318-02-1 to Part 1 of the Domestic Substances List.
• Because the substance is now on the list, it is no longer treated as “new to Canada” and is not subject to the pre-market notification rules in the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers).
• The order was made under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 and took effect on the day it was registered (December 21, 2021).

Who's affected#

• Companies that manufacture or import the specific substance 1318-02-1 into Canada.
• Chemical suppliers, distributors and downstream users who handle that exact substance.
• It is unclear from the order which industries use this substance; the practical effect depends on who actually trades or uses 1318-02-1 in Canada.

Why it matters#

• Businesses dealing with this substance have one less pre-market notification step to meet, which can make importing or selling it simpler.
• The change is administrative: it does not mean the government endorses the substance as safe, nor does it remove any other laws or rules that might apply.
• If you handle or buy chemicals, this could affect paperwork and approvals for that specific substance, but it does not introduce new regulatory costs.
