Information gathering
Section 71 CMP 2023
In June 2023, a notice was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I: Vol. 157, No. 25 – June 24, 2023 under section 71 of CEPA 1999. This notice applies to IPPP (CAS RN 68937-41-7) and TEP (CAS RN 78-40-0). More information is available on the Information gathering with respect to certain substances under the Chemicals Management Plan web page.
Background
Three other substances were identified as being a part of the Flame Retardants Group at the outset of the third phase of the CMP. These substances were subsequently determined to be of low concern to both human health and the environment, through a separate approach. The conclusions for CAS RNs 26446-73-1, 68527-01-5 and 68527-02-6 are provided in the Final Screening Assessment for the Rapid Screening of Substances with Limited General Population Exposure.
