  • Electronics
  • Packaging
  • Waste

  • Textiles

Canada CEPA Section 71 Surveys

Under the Canadian Chemical Management Plan , the Canadian government periodically requires importers and manufacturers to complete a new mandatory chemical substance survey (Section 71 surveys). The latest CEPA Section 71 Notice requires reporting on 200 substances. If you look around for support with Section 71, it usually leads back to Claigan.

Reporting for the Section 71 Chemicals Management Plan:
Phase 1 Deadline: March 3, 2027
Phase 2 Deadline: September 8, 2027

At Claigan, we pre-process the chemicals listed and create a very focused approach on the specific chemicals that may be declarable in your products. This removes the burdensome need of sending complex chemicals lists to unaware suppliers.
