Each of the claims for exemption listed above was found to be valid. The screening officer reached this decision after reviewing the information in support of the claim, having regard exclusively to the criteria found in section 3 of the Hazardous Materials Information Review Regulations.

Having regard for the various data readily available in the literature and any information provided by the claimant, the screening officer found that the respective MSDSs in respect of the claims bearing Registry Numbers 8493, 8697, 8702, 8703, 8704, 8705, 8709, 8721, 8723, 8724, 8750, 8760, 8768, 8769, 8774, 8775, 8776, 8796, 8801, 8808, 8814, 8822, 8847, 8870, 8879 complied with the applicable requirements of the Hazardous Products Act and the Controlled Products Regulations.

In the case of the claims bearing Registry Numbers 8505 and 8681, being claims from an employer with operations in the province of Alberta, the screening officer found that the MSDSs and labels in respect of which the claims were filed did not comply with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Code 2009 of the Province of Alberta.

In all cases where the MSDS or the label was determined not to be in compliance with the relevant legislation, the screening officer offered the claimant the possibility of entering into an undertaking whereby the claimant would voluntarily make the changes necessary to bring the MSDS or the label into compliance. Pursuant to subsection 16.1(1) of the Hazardous Materials Information Review Act, the claimant was given 30 days to provide the screening officer with a signed undertaking accompanied by the MSDS or the label amended as necessary.

In the case of the following claims, the claimant supplied the screening officer with a signed undertaking accompanied by the MSDS or label amended as necessary within the time frame specified. The screening officer was satisfied that the claimant had taken the measures set out in the undertaking in the manner and within the period specified therein.
