The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) has released the final draft of safety standard, Aerosol Containers and Gas Cartridges for Transport of Dangerous Goods (CAN/CGSB-43.123) for a 60-day consultation period opened to all Canadians. This standard does not specifically apply to propane in reusable containers but may apply to other portions of members' businesses.

CPA members are invited to participate by obtaining a copy of the draft safety standard and providing feedback to Robert Long at robert.long@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca.

This standard is a reference within the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations. The new edition will come into force once published with a six-month phase-in (transitional) period.

Safety standard CAN/CGSB-43.123 sets out the requirements for designing, manufacturing, testing, selecting and using aerosol containers and gas cartridges. The standard also lays out the requirements for the transport of aerosol containers and gas cartridges intended for disposal or recycling.
