Two Chemicals Added to Domestic Substances List

Summary#

Order 2024-87-09-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List is a federal order under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 that adds two chemical entries to the government’s Domestic Substances List. The order was registered and came into force on December 2, 2024.

What it does#

• Adds 138920-60-2 (listed with the notation “N‑P”) to Part 1 of the Domestic Substances List.
• Adds 19742-0 and the chemical name fragment "Poly[oxy(alkyl-alkanediyl)], α,α′,α″-1,2,3-propanetriyltris[ω-[[1-oxo-alkene-1-yl]oxy]-" (also listed with “N‑P”) to Part 3 of the Domestic Substances List.
• States that the Order is effective the day it was registered: December 2, 2024.
• The official Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement with more context appears alongside SOR/2024-246 (see that entry for details).

Who's affected#

• Companies that manufacture, import, or use the listed chemicals in Canada.
• Environmental regulators and anyone tracking which chemicals are officially recognized as present in Canada.
• It is not clear from this short order what specific industries or products use these substances; the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement referenced above should have more detail.

Why it matters#

• Being added to the Domestic Substances List changes the government’s official inventory of chemicals that exist in Canada.
• That status can affect oversight under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 — for example, whether a chemical is treated as an “existing” substance or requires new‑substance notifications and assessments.
• The order itself does not describe uses, quantities, or risks; for practical impacts (who must report what, and any regulatory consequences), consult the linked Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement.
