The Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001 (CCCR, 2001) is a part of the Hazardous Products Act and was created in 2001 by the Canadian government to protect Canadian consumers. It dictates the minimum requirements for the appropriate retail labelling and packaging of chemical products. Any product that is available to consumers through retail purchasing, even if it is largely used in industrial situations, is regulated under the CCCR.
Product classification categories include toxic products, corrosive products, flammable products, quick skin-bonding products, and pressurized containers. A particular product’s classification determines the necessary labelling and packaging requirements, such as hazard symbols, safe handling instructions, first aid measures, and packaging type. Information on containers must be presented in both English and French, and displayed prominently so that it is likely to catch the attention of the consumer.
CCCR label review services are offered by chemical product compliance companies to ensure that the product manufacturer’s labels contain all necessary information in order to be compliant in their desired jurisdiction. A chemical regulatory consultant analyzes the chemical product based on a scientific assessment of the hazards one might encounter during the foreseeable use of the product. These hazards are determined by testing the physical and chemical properties of that chemical or its components (like Ph, boiling point, flash point, etc).
Product labelling is made up of four different components: hazard symbols, warning statements, safety instructions and first aid statements. The appropriate kinds of packaging and labelling for a product are determined from its hazard classification.
