Amendment to Non-domestic Substances List

Summary#

Order 2026-87-10-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 removes the chemical identified as 68910-05-4 from the Non‑domestic Substances List. The change was signed by Julie Dabrusin on August 7, 2026 and published on August 22, 2026.

What it does#

• Deletes 68910-05-4 from Part I of the Non‑domestic Substances List.
• The Order takes effect on the same day that Order 2026-87-10-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List comes into force (no fixed date given in this notice).
• The notice says the move follows the Minister’s decision to add the substance to the Domestic Substances List.

Who's affected#

• Businesses that make, import, sell, or use the substance 68910-05-4 in Canada.
• Laboratories, suppliers and distributors who track chemical inventories and regulatory status.
• Regulators and environmental groups who monitor which chemicals are listed for domestic management.
• If it’s unclear whether a specific company or product uses 68910-05-4, they should check their material inventories or ask their supplier.

Why it matters#

• Moving a substance off the Non‑domestic List and onto the Domestic Substances List changes how it is tracked and managed in Canada.
• That can affect reporting, testing, or other regulatory actions tied to domestic substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.
• The notice itself does not give a date for the change; the timing depends on when the linked Domestic Substances List order takes effect.
