Despite paragraph (1)(b), if a person has applied the child test protocol requirements of one of the standards referred to in that paragraph to a child-resistant container, as the standard read immediately before the day on which an amended version of that standard is published, the person may continue to apply those requirements to the child-resistant container during the period of 180 days after the day on which the amended standard is published.
A child-resistant container must maintain the characteristics of a child-resistant container throughout the useful life of the vaping substance that is placed in it, or in the case of a refillable container, throughout its useful life, under normal conditions of storage, sale and use.
The responsible person, using good scientific practices, must evaluate
the compatibility of the vaping substance with its child-resistant container to determine that the chemical or physical properties of the substance will not compromise or interfere with the proper functioning of the container; and
the physical wear and stress factors and the force required for opening and closing the container to determine that the proper functioning of the container will be maintained for the number of openings and closings reasonably foreseeable for the size and contents of the container.
The following definitions apply in this section.
good scientific practices means
for the development of test data, conditions and procedures that are in accordance with or equivalent to those set out in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development document entitled OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, as amended from time to time;
for laboratory practices, practices that are in accordance with the principles set out in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development document entitled OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice, Number 1 of the OECD Series on Principles of Good Laboratory Practice and Compliance Monitoring, as amended from time to time; and
for human experience data, a peer-reviewed study of clinical cases. (bonnes pratiques scientifiques)
human experience data means data, collected in accordance with good scientific practices, that demonstrates that injury to or poisoning of a human has or has not resulted from
exposure to a vaping substance; or
the reasonably foreseeable use of a vaping substance or immediate container by a consumer, including by a child. (données de l’expérience humaine)
The responsible person must prepare and maintain documents containing the following information and must keep those documents for a period of at least three years after the day on which the child-resistant container is manufactured or imported:
the specifications critical to the child-resistant characteristics of the container, including
the physical measurements within which the container retains its child-resistant characteristics,
if applicable, the torque that must be applied to open or close the container, and
the compatibility of the container and its closure system with the vaping substance that is to be placed into it; and
the test results that demonstrate that the container and its closure system meet the requirements of a standard referred to in paragraph 51(1)(b).
In the case of a vaping substance for which a child-resistant container is required, the responsible person must provide an inspector with any of the documents that the inspector requests within 15 days after the day on which the request is received.
Directions for opening and, if applicable, closing a child-resistant container that meets the requirements of paragraph 51(1)(b) must be displayed on the closure system of the immediate container or on the display surface of the immediate container.
However, in the case of an immediate container that is a vaping device or vaping part, the directions may be displayed
on a package containing the vaping device or vaping part, or on a leaflet that is inserted in the package; or
if it is not packaged, on a tag that is attached to the vaping device or vaping part.
“USE ENTIRE CONTENTS ON OPENING. THIS CONTAINER IS NOT CHILD-RESISTANT ONCE OPENED.”
“UTILISER LA TOTALITÉ DU CONTENU APRÈS OUVERTURE. UNE FOIS OUVERT, LE CONTENANT N’EST PLUS UN CONTENANT PROTÈGE-ENFANTS.”
Subject to subsection (4), the statement must also be displayed on the display surface of the exterior package, if any.
If the main display panel of the immediate container has an area of less than 45 cm 2, the statement need not be displayed on the display surface of the immediate container.
If the main display panel of the exterior package has an area of less than 45 cm 2, the statement must be displayed on a tag attached to the immediate container.
If the immediate container has a small size and is not packaged, the statement must be displayed
if the main display panel has an area greater than 15 cm 2 but less than 45 cm 2, on the display surface of the immediate container or on a tag attached to the immediate container; and
if the main display panel of the immediate container has an area equal to or less than 15 cm 2, on a tag attached to the immediate container.
The following information must be displayed on the display surface of the immediate container of a vaping substance that contains nicotine in a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL or more:
an exact reproduction, except with respect to size, of the hazard symbol set out in Schedule 1; and
the following toxicity warning and first aid treatment statement:
“POISON: if swallowed, call a Poison Control Centre or doctor immediately.”
“POISON : en cas d’ingestion, appeler immédiatement un centre antipoison ou un médecin.”
If the immediate container is a vaping device or vaping part and it is not packaged, the information must be displayed on a tag attached to the vaping device or vaping part, as the case may be.
The information must also be displayed on the display surface of the exterior package, if any.
However, the information is not required if exposure to a vaping substance that is in a form other than an aerosol is impossible during the reasonably foreseeable use of the container.
