Updates to Industry Guide for Safety Requirements
Tents
Health Canada announces the release of an updated version of the Industry Guide to Canadian Safety Requirements for Tents under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA).
The revised guide incorporates the latest Tents Regulations and provides updated information on fire‑safety labelling and flammability performance requirements.
The requirements apply to tents that are manufactured, imported, advertised, or sold in Canada.
The Tents Regulations help protect people in Canada from injuries and deaths caused by tent fires. The regulations reflect contemporary safety requirements developed by the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) in their standard entitled CAN/CGSB-182.1-2020 Flammability and labelling requirements for tents, as amended from time to time.
Children's Toys and Related Products
Health Canada also announces the release of an updated version of the Industry Guide to Health Canada's Safety Requirements for Children's Toys and Related Products.
Revisions include updated guidance on safety requirements for toys designed to be entered by a child.
This document provides information about the safety requirements that apply under the Toys Regulations to children's toys and related products manufactured, advertised, imported, or sold in Canada.
Stakeholders are encouraged to review the updated documents (available online) to ensure continued compliance with applicable safety regulations.
