Three Substances Moved to Domestic List

Summary#

The Government published Order 2024-87-04-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. The order removes three substances (listed by CAS number) from Part I of the Non‑domestic Substances List and says they were added to the Domestic Substances List. The order was signed on May 8, 2024 and appeared in the Canada Gazette on May 18, 2024.

What it does#

• Deletes these entries from Part I of the Non‑domestic Substances List:
  • 67762-83-8
  • 167208-61-9
  • 308336-53-0
• States that the Minister has added those same substances to the Domestic Substances List.
• Says the order comes into force on the day that Order 2024-87-04-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List comes into force. The notice does not give that date.

Who's affected#

• Companies that make, import, sell or use the substances identified by CAS numbers 67762-83-8, 167208-61-9, and 308336-53-0 in Canada.
• Regulators and others who track chemical listings under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.
• If you are unsure whether one of these CAS numbers matches a chemical you handle, the notice itself does not provide substance names.

Why it matters#

• Moving a substance from the Non‑domestic List to the Domestic List changes its official listing status under the chemical law. That can affect how the substance is tracked, reported, or assessed by federal regulators.
• The notice does not explain specific new obligations or dates. Businesses and stakeholders should watch for Order 2024-87-04-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List to learn the effective date and any practical regulatory consequences.
