This dataset includes all ministerial condition (MC) notices published under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA). The MC notice may be applied to a new substance or living organisms when Environment and Climate Change Canada and Health Canada suspect that a new substance may meet the criterial for toxic under CEPA.
When Ministerial conditions are imposed, the notifier can manufacture or import the substance, subject to restrictions. The notifier and, if specified in the condition, the notifier’s customers are obliged to abide by these conditions and keep records as indicated. Substances subject to ministerial conditions are not eligible for addition to the Domestic Substances List. Therefore, any new notifier who wishes to manufacture or import the same substance must submit a New Substances Notification. This may result in similar conditions being imposed.
Information is organized by substance and includes links to relevant Canada Gazette publications. Confidential accession numbers and masked names have been presented for confidential substances.
Although great care has been taken to ensure the information herein accurately reflects the requirements prescribed in CEPA, you are advised that, should any inconsistencies be found, the legal documents, published in the Canada Gazette, will prevail.
