Interpretation / Discussion of Section 8.1

Note: This section has been repealed.

Section 8.1 had been added through the first amendment to the CPR, (SOR/DORS/88-555) to prevent a disruption in the availability of the affected products and relieved the commercial impact that would have otherwise fallen on secondary suppliers when WHMIS came into effect on October 31, 1988.

The addition of sections 8.1 (and 15.1) established a temporary exemption until March 15, 1989, for secondary suppliers from transmitting, obtaining or preparing a MSDS and applying a label, respectively, to a controlled product that is a mixture. This exemption was subject to the condition that, as of July 31, 1988, the secondary supplier or manufacturer of the mixture had not received a MSDS from the primary supplier in respect of a controlled product of the primary supplier which was an ingredient in the mixture of the secondary supplier.
