The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) of 30 June 1988 requires new chemical substances to be notified before manufacture or import. The Canadian notifrcation scheme is scheduled to come into effect in January 1994. Until then, chemicals can be manufactured or imported into Canada without notification. The New Substances Notifrcation Regulations have been published in the Canada Gazette for final public consultation before being finalised and brought into force. Guidelines for the Notification and Testing of New Substances Chemicals and Polymers are also now available [32]. 

New chemical substances are all those not on the Domestic Substances List (DSL), which is a list of substances in commerce in Canada at >100 kg a from 1 January 1984 to 31 December 1986. If a new substance is on the Non-Domestic Substances List (NDSL), the information required for the notification is considerably less than for a standard notification. The NDSL, which is the 1985 US TSCA Inventory (as amended) minus the substances on the DSL, attempts to take account of established substances which did not happen to be sold in Canada during the period for inclusion in the DSL. The first DSL [33] and NDSL [34] were both publish in the Canada Gazette on 26 January 1991, and these inventories will be updated and corrected periodically when necessary. Most polymers are represented on the inventories in terms of the starting materials from which they are manufactured, and products of biotechnology will be included subsequently if necessary when their regulatory controls have been finalised. The DSL and NDSL contain confidential sections, which can be searched by Environment Canada if a bona fide intent to manufacture or import is established by submitting specified data. 

Notified substances are listed in the DSL, as a supplement published in the Canada Gazette as necessary. After listing they can be manufactured or imported by other suppliers for unrestricted use. Hence substances notified with a reduced data set, because of limited use or exposure or with data waivers, are not listed in the DSL. Also, substances suspected of being toxic can only be listed in the DSL after they are regulated under CEPA to ensure their safe use.
