PART 2Corrosive Products
Classification of Corrosive Products
Marginal note:Data sources
41 (1) The responsible person for a corrosive product must determine the appropriate sub-category for the product from one or more of the following data sources in the following order of precedence:
(a) subject to subsection (2), human experience data for the corrosive product;
(b) the table to subsection 42(1), in the case of a corrosive product that contains a substance of special concern;
(c) one or more of the following sources in the following order of precedence, in the case of a corrosive product that contains one or more acids or one or more bases:
(d) the table to subsection 42(4), in the case of a corrosive product that contains a substance, other than an acid or a base, that is capable of inducing necrosis or ulceration of epithelial tissue at the site of application determined using the data sources set out in subsection 43(1); or
(e) subsection 42(5), in the case of a corrosive product that contains a substance, other than an acid or a base, that is capable, when tested using the appropriate test methods set out in subsection 43(2), of causing any of the following at the site of application:
Marginal note:Classification using human experience data
(2) If the human experience data for a corrosive product demonstrates that the product is capable of causing an effect described in
