Dell Tech specializes in Canadian product hazard classification for consumer chemical products subject to federal regulations. In addition to our regulatory experts who can classify your product and review labeling and packaging, our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory can conduct validated testing and hazard assessments to meet the requirements of CCCR 2001. Whether your product is destined for retail shelves, e-commerce platforms, or industrial use, we ensure your classification is compliant and defensible.
In Canada, hazard classification is legally required before a consumer chemical product can be sold. The Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001 (CCCR 2001) set clear expectations for how hazards must be tested and disclosed. Classification, labeling, and packaging for hazardous Canadian chemical consumer products is very different compared to GHS, WHMIS, or even the US consumer labeling regulations.
A product that is improperly classified may be mislabeled, restricted from sale, or flagged at customs. Dell Tech helps you avoid those outcomes by performing accurate testing and providing classification decisions that align with Canadian regulatory language and formatting.
Hazard classification is only one step in the Canadian regulatory process. We help our clients connect hazard classification to compliant CCCR labels and packaging. Results can also be bridged to authoring Safety Data Sheets for retailers. For companies listing their products on Amazon.ca or distributing through retail chains, we provide tailored guidance for digital and physical packaging compliance.
We also support VOC calculations and emission documentation for Canadian consumer chemical compliance.
We test for flash point to determine appropriate consumer warnings, hazard symbols, and shipping designations.
Includes flame projection, flashback, and pressure behavior testing to classify products under CCCR 2001.
Evaluated for skin and eye irritation potential and metal corrosion. Results determine both hazard classification and required precautionary labeling.
Canadian regulations are detailed, evolving, and strictly enforced. Dell Tech’s experience with both federal and provincial standards ensures that your product meets the expectations of Health Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and Canadian retailers. Our lab reports and classification summaries are audit ready and backed by regulatory consultants.
CCCR 2001 is the regulation that governs classification and labeling for consumer chemical products in Canada. It defines how hazards must be tested, how symbols must be displayed, and what warning language must be used. Dell Tech ensures your product meets every clause of this regulation before it goes to market.
No. WHMIS applies to workplace hazardous products, not general consumer goods. However, if your product is used in both settings, both systems may apply. Dell Tech helps you navigate this overlap by classifying based on the intended end use.
You still need to comply with Canadian consumer product safety regulations, including classification, labeling, and ingredient disclosure. Amazon often requires proof of compliance. Dell Tech provides documentation you can submit directly to Amazon.
Yes. Canada requires specific CCCR hazard symbols for consumer products, including a unique flame symbol and exclamation mark layout. Dell Tech ensures that your label complies with Canadian formatting standards and bilingual requirements.
VOC limits in Canada vary by product type and province. Dell Tech conducts VOC testing and provides you with data formatted for Canadian regulatory submissions.
