Country Notification Topic Date issued Comment Deadline
Canada CAN/385 Seeds of various crop sectors (HS Chapters 7, 9, 10, and 12)

Canada

Seeds of various crop sectors (HS Chapters 7, 9, 10, and 12)

Further to previously notified amendments to the Seeds Regulations, the CFIA is proposing to reduce the variety registration requirements for oilseed soybean and forage varieties by moving these crop kinds from Part I to Part III of Schedule III of the Seed Regulations, whereby new varieties of crop kinds in Part III are subject to only basic variety registration requirements. This would continue to allow the appropriate level of government oversight for crop kinds where pre-registration testing and merit assessment are deemed to be excessively burdensome. In addition, the proposed amendments would also simplify and eliminate the administrative confusion between suspension and cancellation of variety registration, given that either may be re-instated without requiring a new application, by providing for only cancellation of a variety registration.

Notice is hereby given by Industry Canada that the following Radio Standards Specifications (RSSs) come into force effective immediately: -Radio Standards Specification RSS-132, Issue 3: Cellular Telephone Systems Operating in the Bands 824-849 MHz and 869-894 MHz, which sets out the certification requirements for transmitters and receivers for cellular telephone systems in the bands 824-849 MHz and 869-894 MHz; and -Radio Standards Specification RSS-133, Issue 6: 2 GHz Personal Communications Services, which sets out the certification requirements for transmitters and receivers used in radiocommunications systems to provide personal communications services (PCS) in the bands 1850-1915 MHz and 1930-1995 MHz.

Canada CAN/388 Non-medicated eyewashes

Canada

Non-medicated eyewashes

Canada is proposing that all non-medicated eyewashes licensed as medical devices be regulated as natural health products (NHPs) under the Natural Health Products Regulations (NHPR) of the Food and Drugs Act. The goal of this transition is to increase consistency and predictability for both consumers and manufacturers of non-medicated eyewashes. The Department of Health (the Department) has made this proposal because non-medicated eyewashes meet the definition of drug in section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act given they are a mixture of substances used in the treatment of an abnormal state. When intended for human use, they meet the definition of NHP because their medicinal ingredient, purified water, is a natural substance as per Schedule 1 to the NHPR. More information on the factors that influence the classification of a therapeutic product as either a drug or device can be found in the Guidance Document: Factors Influencing the Classification of a Product at the Device-Drug Interface. Manufacturers of non-medicated eyewashes marketed as medical devices will be given an opportunity to make representation to the Department on the proposed classification of their products from a medical device to a NHP. The Department's Therapeutic Products Directorate (TPD) will make a final product classification determination within 30 days of receiving any submissions from manufacturers explaining why their product should remain a medical device. Under the NHP regulatory framework, all NHPs must have a product licence identified by a natural product number (NPN). Implicated manufacturers of non-medicated eyewashes will have their files transferred to Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD), without additional filing requirements, for issuance of the NPN. Canadian sites that manufacture, package, label or import NHPs also must obtain site licences as per the NHPR. Implicated manufacturers, packagers, labellers and importers of non-medicated eyewashes will be given detailed information and support on how to complete the site licensing application process. During the transition, the Department is proposing to allow non-medicated eyewashes to remain on market until a NPN and site licence is issued by the NHPD. Once a NPN is issued for the product, the Department will expect new labelling to be made available to consumers by the sooner of the next label run, or 12 months from the date the NPN was issued.
