CANADIAN SHIPMENT PLACARDING REQUIREMENTS
The Transport Canada regulations have been amended to require that all shipments to or through Canada must bar; placarded in accordance with those regulations by January 1, 19856. Specifically Section 5.2, 5.25 (l)(a), and 5.27 must be met (attached).
Section 5.25(a)(a) says any placard required must have a plasticized or otherwise water repellant surface. In other words, no tagboard, only placards. Based on current shipments to Canada, this would apply to SA-697 (corrosive), ALFOL 6 (flashpoint below 140F) and Methyl Chloride (flammable gas).
Section 5.27 requires that Class 2 commodities, specifically Methyl Chloride, display retro-reflective placards as well.
These placards are not readily available in the U.S. A Canadian Supplier, Top Tape and Label has been recommended to us. Cy Dicks at 416/335-4423 should be contacted for placard information.
