Substance 70879-47-9 moved to Domestic List

Summary#

This notice publishes Order 2025-87-02-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. It removes the chemical identified by CAS number 70879-47-9 from the Non‑domestic Substances List and links its coming-into-force to a related domestic-list order.

What it does#

• Deletes 70879-47-9 from Part I of the Non‑domestic Substances List.
• Records that the Minister of the Environment, Steven Guilbeault, has added the same substance to the Domestic Substances List (this was done under the Act).
• States the Order will come into force on the day that subsection 1(1) of Order 2025-87-02-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List comes into force, or on the day this Order is registered if that is later.

Who's affected#

• Companies that import, manufacture, or use the substance listed as 70879-47-9 in Canada.
• Downstream users, service providers, and laboratories that handle or test that chemical.
• Regulators and public-interest groups that track chemical assessments and reporting in Canada.
  Note: the Gazette notice gives only the CAS number (70879-47-9) and does not include a common chemical name, so it may be unclear to some readers whether a specific product or ingredient they use is affected.

Why it matters#

• Moving a chemical from the non‑domestic list to the domestic list changes its regulatory status under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.
• That change can affect whether the substance is subject to Canadian assessment, monitoring, or reporting requirements and can change obligations for businesses that import or make the substance in Canada.
• If you work with chemicals, suppliers or regulators may contact affected users after the related domestic-list order comes into force.
