Four Chemicals Added to Domestic List

Summary#

A Canada Gazette notice records Order 2024-87-07-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List. It removes four chemical identifiers from the Non-domestic Substances List because the Minister added those same substances to the Domestic Substances List under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. The order was signed in Ottawa on September 3, 2024 and published on September 21, 2024.

What it does#

• Names the instrument: Order 2024-87-07-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List.
• Deletes the following entries from Part I of the Non-domestic Substances List:
  • 4724-48-5
  • 165101-57-5
  • 2376995-24-1
  • 2640167-65-1
• States the order comes into force on the day Order 2024-87-07-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List comes into force.

Who's affected#

• Companies and people who make, import, sell or use the specific chemicals listed by CAS number.
• Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Minister of the Environment (the notice names Steven Guilbeault) as the responsible decision-makers.
• The notice itself lists only CAS numbers and gives no common chemical names, so it is unclear from this item which commercial products or sectors will notice the change.

Why it matters#

• Moving a substance off the Non-domestic Substances List and onto the Domestic Substances List signals the government now records those substances as present in Canada.
• That change can affect how the chemicals are tracked, assessed, or regulated under Canada’s chemical-management programs — for example, it can trigger assessments, reporting, or other follow-up actions.
• Because the Gazette entry gives only CAS numbers, businesses should check the Domestic Substances List or contact the department if they need to know whether a substance they handle is included.
