Aerosol products (2) For the purposes of the descriptions WS and WEX, if

the product in question belongs to a subcategory set out in column 2 of the table to Schedule 1 that includes aerosol products, the propellant and non-propellant fractions are determined separately then added together to give the total value for each of those elements. Antiperspirants and deodorants (3) If the product in question is an antiperspirant or deodorant for the human axilla referred to in items 2 and 3, respectively, of the table to Schedule 1, the VOC concentration is determined separately for medium vapour pressure VOCs and high vapour pressure VOCs.

their civic and postal addresses, telephone numbers and, if any, fax numbers and email addresses; (b) the number of compliance units to be transferred; (c) the year during which the compliance units were generated; and (d) the effective date of the transfer.

Approval by Minister (3) The Minister must approve the transfer and inform

the transferee and transferor of the approval in writing if the transferor has at least the number of unused compliance units as are proposed to be transferred to the transferee. Use by transferee (4) The transferee may use the compliance units during

Product Categories and VOC Concentration Limits Definitions 1 The following definitions apply in this Schedule.

cleaner or duster for energized equipment means a product that is designed to clean or dust equipment while there is an electrical current in the equipment or while there is a residual electrical potential from a component such as a capacitor. (nettoyant ou dépoussiéreur d’équipements sous tension) contact adhesive means non-aerosol adhesive – other than rubber cement that is designed for use on paper substrates and vulcanizing fluid that is designed solely for tire repair — that (a) is designed for application to surfaces to be bonded together; (b) is to dry before the surfaces are placed in contact

with each other; (c) forms an immediate bond that makes it difficult or

impossible to reposition the adhesive-coated surfaces after they are placed in contact with each other; and (d) does not require sustained pressure or the clamping of surfaces to establish an adherence between the surfaces after the adhesive-coated surfaces have been brought together using momentary pressure. (adhésif de contact)
