2018/11/11 Notice of intent — Termination of the Revised In Commerce Substances List Nomination Process As part of the Government of Canada’s Chemicals Management Plan, substances on the R-ICL underwent a risk-based prioritization process to identify those that require further consideration to determine whether they warrant further risk assessment. The results of this prioritization were shared with stakeholders on September 30, 2016.Nominations to the R-ICL will continue to be accepted until one year following publication of a final notice of intent. However, in order to create a static list that will allow the prioritization of substances on the R-ICL to be finalized, the nomination process will be terminated at that time, and no further nominations will be accepted. From that date, manufacturers and importers who wish to market a new substance for use in F&DA-regulated products in Canada that is not already listed on the R-ICL must submit a notification under the NSNR (Chemicals and Polymers) and NSNR (Organisms).
