Hexavalent Chromium

Proposed Regulation for Chromic Acid used in Metal Finishing Industry - EC seeks ENGO input

Under the Strategic Options Process (SOP) for developing emissions standards for the use of Hexavalent chromium in the metal finishing industry, Environment Canada has developed a proposed regulation respecting chromic acid used in chromium electroplating or chromium anodizing.

Environment Canada wishes to provide an information session to appropriate CEN members, covering the background development and history of the regulation, providing a review of the performance requirements of this regulation and responding to any questions as needed. Environment Canada is at this time open to either a face-to-face meeting or a teleconference, depending on the number of interested CEN members. In the event of a face-to-face meeting, travel and accommodation costs will be covered by EC.

Please indicate your interest in participating NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 6, 2002.
