PAINT AND COATINGS MANUFACTURING: REGULATORY CHANGES
CASE industry are addressed by CPCA via a comprehensive
digital database covering all actions taken by CPCA and
its technical committees to ensure positive regulatory
outcomes. Details on those actions are available on Canpaint.
com's Canada CoatingsHUB section. Companies must have
immediate access to this important source of information
outlining industry concerns on proposed regulatory changes
before they are finalised. More importantly companies may
wish to add valuable insights to strengthen CPCA's final
industry recommendations for even better outcomes. The
database is searchable for ease of access and available on all
platforms.
Based on feedback from more than 250 members using the
database, representing the vast majority of CASE products
sold in Canada, the CoatingsHUB was enhanced. Members
can access more than 2,500 industry resources on 16 issue
management categories with 2,947 chemicals tracked on
the status of existing regulatory requirements and the many
evolving changes. The Hub provides:
* A personalised regulatory dashboard
* Industry resources covering 16 critical issue categories
* Real-time search and tracking of CASE chemicals in
commerce by CASRN˚
* Compliance alerts ensuring deadlines are never missed
on existing and pending regulations and governmentmandated
calls for industry data
* Up-to-date regulatory information such as formal position
papers, aggregated industry submissions, member bulletins,
formal consultation letters, etc.
Canada's regulatory development process is getting more
complex. These regulations are captured and updated on
the only digital regulatory database for the CASE industry
in Canada, the CoatingsHUB. The CASE industry trusts the
CoatingsHUB to support their compliance efforts. A recent
survey revealed that 77 per cent, at least eight out of 10 HUB
users, are fully satisfied with their experience.
The whole CASE sector must now be more engaged and
focused on addressing a stronger 'all of industry' approach to
emerging regulations in Canada. It is the only way to ensure
new government initiatives are based on sound scientific
data, most of which rely on industry sources. At the same
time, it must ensure full consideration is given to the impact of
proposed changes on the companies subjected to new chemical
restrictions or bans impacting global trade. The CASE
industry is very focused on locating more sustainably sourced
substances for products and reducing its carbon footprint in
manufacturing processes. It also complies fully with existing
'regulations' and contributes insight on evolving regulations to
ensure its customers continued economic success.
In the end, better data equals better outcomes!
