EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This explanatory note is not part of the Notice of intent.)
Description
This Notice of intent (NOI) is an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed amendment to the Domestic Substances List (DSL), pursuant to subsection 87(3) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA),footnote 1 to apply the significant new activity (SNAc) provisions to the substance hexanedioic acid, diisodecyl ester (also known as DIDA, Chemical Abstracts Service [CAS] Registry No. 27178-16-1) of the Act.
Within 60 days of publication of the NOI, any person may submit comments to the Minister of the Environment (the Minister). These comments will be taken into consideration during the development of the Order amending the DSL to apply the SNAc provisions to this substance.
The DSL amendment is not in force until the Order is adopted by the Minister pursuant to subsection 87(3) of CEPA. The Order must be published in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
A number of other SNAc instruments are to be published in the near future that will also target consumer products. As a result, stakeholder input provided in response to the consumer product language proposed in this NOI may not be reflected in upcoming notices due to publication timelines. However, any input received will be taken into consideration during the development of all related notices and orders that pertain to consumer products.
Information-gathering mechanisms other than the SNAc provisions were considered, including the publication of a notice under section 71 of CEPA. However, this mechanism would collect information after the substance is used in new consumer products, cosmetics or natural health products. These uses could potentially lead to exposure sources of concern.
Applicability of the proposed Order
At this time, it is proposed that the Order amending the DSL would require any person (individual or corporation) engaging in a significant new activity in relation to DIDA to submit a Significant New Activity notification (SNAN) containing all of the information prescribed in the Order at least 90 days prior to the import, manufacture, or use of the substance for the significant new activity.
In order to address potential concerns, the Order would target the use of the substance in consumer products to which the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) applies, in natural health products, as defined in subsection 1(1) of the Natural Health Products Regulations, and in cosmetics, within the meaning of section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act. For the manufacture of the consumer product, or natural health product, or cosmetic with the substance, notification would be required when the concentration of the substance is equal to or greater than 0.6% by weight.
For any other activity related to the substance, notification would be required when the concentration of the substance in the consumer product, or natural health product, or cosmetic is equal to or greater than 0.6% by weight, and the total quantity of the substance involved in the activity during a calendar year is greater than 10 kg.
For example, notification would be required if a company plans to import a product (for example toothpaste) to be used by consumers where the concentration of the substance in the product is 0.6% or greater and where there are more than 10 kg of the substance involved in a calendar year. Therefore, the import, manufacture, or use of the substance in such products would require notification. DIDA is not currently known to be used in cosmetics in Canada.
Activities not subject to the proposed Order
Activities involving the use of the substance in the manufacture of consumer products, natural health products, or cosmetics that contain the substance at a concentration less than 0.6% would not be subject to the Order. Similarly, any other activity involving the use of the substance in a consumer product, natural health product or cosmetic would not be subject to the Order if the total quantity of the substance involved in the activity is 10 kg or less in a calendar year. For any activity involving more than 10 kg of the substance in a calendar year, the proposed Order would not apply if the concentration of the substance is less than 0.6% by weight.
Activities involving the use of DIDA in lubricants or automotive fluids that contain the substance at a concentration of less than 15% by weight, and the use in a rinse-off natural health product or rinse-off cosmetic product that contains the substance at a concentration of 5% or less by weight are exempt from notification in the proposed Order.
The proposed Order would not apply to uses of the substance that are regulated under the acts of Parliament listed in Schedule 2 of CEPA, including the Pest Control Products Act, the Fertilizers Act and the Feeds Act. The Order would also not apply to transient reaction intermediates, impurities, contaminants, partially unreacted intermediates or, in some circumstances, to items such as wastes, mixtures or manufactured items. However, it should be noted that individual components of a mixture may be subject to notification under the Order. See subsection 81(6) and section 3 of CEPA, and section 3 of the Guidelines for the Notification and Testing of New Substances: Chemicals and Polymers for additional information.
The use of the substance as a research and development substance, a site-limited intermediate substance, or an export-only substance would not require the submission of a SNAN, as these activities are not expected to result in exposure to the general population in Canada. The terms “research and development substance” and “site-limited intermediate substance” are defined in subsection 1(1) of the New Substance Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers). An export-only substance is a substance that is manufactured or imported in Canada and destined solely for foreign markets.
Information to be submitted
The NOI sets out the proposed requirements for information that would have to be provided to the Minister 90 days before the day on which the substance is imported, manufactured or used for a significant new activity. The Department of the Environment and the Department of Health will use the information submitted in the SNAN to conduct human health and environmental assessments within 90 days after the complete information is received.
The information requirements in the proposed Order relate to general information in respect of the substance, details surrounding its use, and to exposure information. Some of the proposed information requirements are set out in the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers).
Additional guidance on preparing a SNAN can be found in section 4 of the Guidelines for the Notification and Testing of New Substances: Chemicals and Polymers.
Compliance
When assessing whether or not a substance is subject to SNAc provisions,footnote 2 a person is expected to make use of information in their possession or to which they may reasonably be expected to have access. This means information in any of the notifier’s offices worldwide or other locations where the notifier can reasonably have access to the information. For example, manufacturers are expected to have access to their formulations, while importers or users of a substance, mixture, or product are expected to have access to import records, usage information and the relevant safety data sheets (SDS).
Although an SDS is an important source of information on the composition of a purchased product, it should be noted that the goal of the SDS is to protect the health of workers in the workplace from specific hazards of chemical products. Therefore, an SDS may not list all product ingredients that may be subject to an order due to human health or environmental concerns. Any person requiring more detailed information on product composition is encouraged to contact their supplier.
If any information becomes available that reasonably supports the conclusion that the substance DIDA is toxic or capable of becoming toxic, the person who is in possession of the information and is involved in activities with the substance is obligated, under section 70 of CEPA, to provide that information to the Minister without delay.
A company can submit a SNAN on behalf of its clients. For example, in cases where a person takes possession and control of a substance from another person, they may not be required to submit a SNAN, under certain conditions, if their activities were covered by an original SNAN. The Substances Management Advisory Note, “Clarification in relation to the submission of Significant New Activity Notifications in application of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999,” provides more detail on this subject.
Any person who transfers the physical possession or control of a substance subject to an order should notify all persons to whom the physical possession or control is transferred of the obligation to comply with the order, including the obligation to notify the Minister of any significant new activity and to provide all the required information outlined above.
A pre-notification consultation (PNC) is recommended for notifiers who wish to consult during the planning or preparation of their SNAN to discuss any questions or concerns they have about the prescribed information and test plans.
Where a person has questions concerning their obligations to comply with a notice or order, believes they may be out of compliance, or would like to request a PNC, they are encouraged to discuss their particular circumstances by contacting the Substances Management Information Line.footnote 3
CEPA is enforced in accordance with the publicly available Compliance and Enforcement Policy for the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. In instances of non-compliance, consideration is given to the following factors when deciding which enforcement measure to take: nature of the alleged violation, effectiveness in achieving compliance with CEPA and its regulations, and consistency in enforcement.

ANNEX
Summary of the screening assessment of DIDA
Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of one of two substances originally referred to collectively under the Chemicals Management Plan as the Aliphatic Diesters Group. The substance in question, hexanedioic acid, diisodecyl ester (Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number [CAS RN] 27178-16-1), hereinafter referred to as DIDA, was identified as a priority for assessment as it met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA. The other substance was subsequently determined to be of low concern through another approach, and the decision for this substance is provided in a separate report.footnote 6 Accordingly, this screening assessment addresses DIDA.
According to information submitted pursuant to a CEPA section 71 notice, there were no reports of manufacture of DIDA above the reporting threshold of 100 kg in Canada in 2011. DIDA was reported to be imported into Canada in 2011 in the range of 1 000 000 to 10 000 000 kg for use as a plasticizer in electrical cables, as processing aids and as an ingredient in lubricants and greases. Lubricant-type products available to consumers in Canada containing DIDA were identified as motor oils, power steering fluids, aerosol lubricants and lubricant products designed to stop oil leaks. In addition, DIDA is present as a non-medicinal ingredient in natural health products.
The ecological risks of DIDA were characterized using the ecological risk classification of organic substances (ERC). The ERC is a risk-based approach that employs multiple metrics for both hazard and exposure based on weighted consideration of multiple lines of evidence for determining risk classification. Hazard profiles are established based principally on metrics regarding mode of toxic action, chemical reactivity, food web–derived internal toxicity thresholds, bioavailability, and chemical and biological activity. Metrics considered in the exposure profiles include potential emission rate, overall persistence, and long-range transport potential. A risk matrix is used to assign a low, moderate or high level of potential concern for substances on the basis of their hazard and exposure profiles. Based on the outcome of the ERC analysis, DIDA is considered unlikely to cause ecological harm.
Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from DIDA. It is concluded that DIDA does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.
With respect to human health, a read-across approach was used to characterize the potential health effects of DIDA. Specifically, developmental toxicity was identified as the critical effect for risk characterization purposes using data available from the analogue di-(2-ethylhexl) adipate (DEHA, CAS RN 103-23-1). On the basis of a comparison of exposure estimates and critical effect levels identified in health effects studies, the margins of exposure were considered to be adequate to address uncertainties in the exposure and human health effects databases.
On the basis of the information presented in this screening assessment, it is concluded that DIDA does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.
Overall conclusion
It is concluded that DIDA does not meet any of the criteria set out under section 64 of CEPA.
The screening assessment for these substances is available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.
Consideration for follow-up
Because DIDA is listed on the Domestic Substances List (DSL), its import and manufacture in Canada are not subject to notification under the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) under subsection 81(1) of CEPA. Given the hazardous properties of this substance, there is concern that new activities that have not been identified or assessed could lead to this substance meeting the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act. Therefore, the Government of Canada intends to amend the DSL, under subsection 87(3) of the Act, to indicate that the significant new activity (SNAc) provisions under subsection 81(3) of the Act apply with respect to this substance.
A significant new activity can include an activity that is not currently occurring or an existing activity involving a different quantity or concentration, or occurring in different circumstances, that could affect the exposure pattern of the substance. The SNAc provisions trigger an obligation for a person (individual or corporation) to provide, and for the Government to assess, specific information about a substance when a person proposes to use the substance in a significant new activity. The ministers will assess the information provided by the notifier and other information available to them to determine whether the substance, if used in the proposed new activity, could pose a risk to the environment or human health, and if so, whether risk management is required.

ANNEX
Summary of the screening assessment of the Benzoates Group
Pursuant to section 68 or 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of 9 of 10 substances referred to collectively under the Chemicals Management Plan as the Benzoates Group. These 9 substances were identified as priorities for assessment, as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA or were considered a priority on the basis of other human health concerns. The tenth substance was subsequently determined to be of low concern for risk to ecological or human health, and the decision for this substance is provided in a separate report.footnote 7 Accordingly, this screening assessment addresses the 9 substances listed in the table below, which will hereinafter be referred to as the Benzoates Group.
| CAS RNfootnote 8 | Domestic Substances List name | Common name |
|---|---|---|
| 93-58-3 | Benzoic acid, methyl ester | Methyl benzoate |
| 93-89-0 table 1 note a | Benzoic acid, ethyl ester | Ethyl benzoate |
| 120-50-3 table 1 note a | Benzoic acid, 2-methylpropyl ester | Isobutyl benzoate |
| 120-55-8 | Ethanol, 2,2′-oxybis-, dibenzoate | Diethylene glycol dibenzoate |
| 136-60-7 | Benzoic acid, butyl ester | Butyl benzoate |
| 614-33-5 | 1,2,3-Propanetriol, tribenzoate | Tribenzoin |
| 8024-05-3 table 1 note b | Oils, tuberose | Tuberose oil |
| 27138-31-4 | Propanol, oxybis-, dibenzoate | Dipropylene glycol dibenzoate |
| 68052-23-3 | 1,3-Pentanediol, 2,2,4-trimethyl-, dibenzoate | Trimethylpentanediyl dibenzoate |
Table 1 Notes
|
||
All nine substances in this assessment were included in a survey conducted under a CEPA section 71 notice. Reported imported quantities ranged from 1 000 to 10 000 000 kg for five of the substances. Manufacturing and import activities were not reported for the four remaining substances.
Tribenzoin, tuberose oils, and methyl, ethyl, butyl, and isobutyl benzoates are used as food flavouring agents globally and are present in products available to consumers in Canada. These substances are also used as fragrance ingredients in household cleaning products and cosmetics. In addition to being anthropogenic sources, methyl, ethyl, butyl, and isobutyl benzoates are naturally present in foods such as apples, bananas, sweet cherries, papayas, beer, cider, and cocoa.
Diethylene glycol dibenzoate, dipropylene glycol dibenzoate, and trimethylpentanediyl dibenzoate were identified in products including caulking, paint, and adhesives, as well as cosmetics and natural health products. Diethylene glycol dibenzoate and dipropylene glycol dibenzoate have also been identified as components in the manufacture of food packaging materials.
The ecological risks of the nine benzoates in this screening assessment were characterized using the ecological risk classification of organic substances (ERC). The CRE is a risk-based approach that employs multiple metrics for both hazard and exposure based on weighted consideration of multiple lines of evidence for determining risk classification. Hazard profiles are established based principally on metrics regarding mode of toxic action, chemical reactivity, food web–derived internal toxicity thresholds, bioavailability, and chemical and biological activity. Metrics considered in the exposure profiles include potential emission rate, overall persistence, and long-range transport potential. A risk matrix is used to assign a low, moderate or high level of potential concern for substances on the basis of their hazard and exposure profiles. The ERC identified the nine benzoates in this screening assessment as having low potential to cause ecological harm.
Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from the nine benzoates addressed in this screening assessment. It is concluded that substances in the Benzoates Group do not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA, as they are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.
The characterization of the health effects in this assessment takes into consideration empirical evidence that benzoates readily hydrolyze into benzoic acid, which is then further metabolized into hippuric acid and subsequently excreted. Accordingly, the evaluation of the benzoate esters in this assessment focuses on health effects data for benzoic acid and benzyl derivatives considered to metabolize to benzoic acid. Taking into consideration the assessments of other jurisdictions, which have concluded that these substances and other similar substances show low toxicity, and given that the substances in this assessment metabolize to benzoic acid, the potential risk to human health is considered to be low.
On the basis of the information presented in this screening assessment, it is concluded that the substances in the Benzoates Group do not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as they are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.
Overall conclusion
It is concluded that the substances in the Benzoates Group do not meet any of the criteria set out under section 64 of CEPA.
The screening assessment for these substances is available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.
