Minor technical corrections to referenced standards in consumer chemicals container rules

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

The Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001 have been updated with several small technical corrections to referenced standards. The ASTM standard for pH of water testing is now cited as 'ASTM Standard D1293-99(2005)' rather than 'ASTM Standard D 1293-99', reflecting a formatting correction to the standard's designation. The publication date for the ULC dry chemical fire extinguisher standard (S504) has been corrected from August 14, 2002 to April 13, 2012, aligning the citation with the actual publication date of that edition. These are administrative housekeeping changes to the standards reference table and do not alter the underlying testing or labelling requirements. Businesses that manufacture, import, or sell consumer chemical products and their containers should confirm their compliance documentation references the corrected standard designations.
