Follow ASTM Firepot-Fuel Flame Mitigation, Warns Health Canada

A January 27 letter to industry from Health Canada warned of possible enforcement for alcohol-fuel containers not complying with current flame mitigation provisions in ASTM's F3429/F3429M-20, Standard Specification for Performance of Flame Mitigation Devices Installed in Disposable and Pre-Filled Flammable Liquid Containers.

Available via email from hc.ccpsa-lcspc.sc@canada.ca, the letter included:

"Health Canada may take immediate compliance and enforcement action in line with the Consumer Product Safety Program's compliance and enforcement policy framework when it has reason to believe that a product is a danger to human health or safety or is non-compliant with the CCPSA or its regulations. Under the CCPSA, compliance and enforcement actions may include seizure, orders to take corrective action, mandatory recall of products, administrative monetary penalties and criminal prosecution."
