CA · Glazed Ceramics and Glassware Regulations SOR/2016-175
Glazed ceramics and glassware: migratable lead and cadmium
Identify the market and product category first. Each dossier separates legal duties, referenced standards, evidence and the comparison needed for an award.
Product Scope
Glazed/decorated ceramic and glassware within the food-use scope; ornamental-product exclusions require specified design and warnings.
Requirements
Apply the relevant migratable lead/cadmium limits by vessel classification and surface. Do not replace migration testing with total-metal composition. Ornamental labelling alone may not satisfy all exemption conditions.
Required Evidence
Vessel category, capacity/dimensions, glaze/decorations, complete extraction report and any ornamental-use basis.
Comparison for the Awards
Lower migration is compared within the same vessel category, extraction conditions and analytical detection limits.
Version & Transition
Use the current consolidated limits and classification; no universal limit for all cups, plates and pitchers is asserted here.
Official Sources
Applicability depends on the product classification, intended use, configuration and actual sales territory. Manufacturing, placing-on-the-market and testing dates, together with transition provisions, are checked as required by each applicable rule. The directory identifies sources; it does not replace assessment of the specific model. Standards are identified by reference, and their authoritative texts remain with the issuing bodies. Official source documents retain their original language.
