Definitions 1 (1) The following definitions apply in these Regulations. Act means the Hazardous Products Act . ( Loi ) aerosol dispenser means a non-refillable receptacle made of metal, glass or plastic and containing a gas that is compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure, with or without a liquid, foam, mousse, paste, gel or powder, and fitted with a release device allowing the contents to be ejected in the form of solid or liquid particles in suspension in a gas, as a foam, mousse, paste, gel or powder or in a liquid or gaseous state. ( générateur d’aérosol ) ATE means an acute toxicity estimate, and includes the LD 50 and the LC 50 , and the acute toxicity point estimate determined in accordance with the table to section 8.1.7. ( ETA ) CAS registry number means the identification number assigned to a chemical by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. ( numéro d’enregistrement CAS ) chemical name means a scientific designation of a material or substance that is made in accordance with the rules of nomenclature of either the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society, or the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, or a scientific designation of a material or substance that is internationally recognized and that clearly identifies the material or substance. ( dénomination chimique ) flash point means the lowest temperature, corrected to the standard pressure of 101.3 kPa, at which the application of an ignition source causes the vapours of a liquid to ignite. ( point d’éclair ) gas means a mixture or substance that (a) at 50°C has an absolute vapour pressure of greater than 300 kPa; or (b) is completely gaseous at 20°C and at the standard pressure of 101.3 kPa. ( gaz ) GHS means the United Nations document entitled Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) , Seventh Revised Edition. ( SGH ) hazardous ingredient means an ingredient in a mixture that, when evaluated as an individual substance, is classified in a category or subcategory of a health hazard class. ( ingrédient dangereux ) hazard statement means a phrase assigned to a category or subcategory of a hazard class or, in the case of column 5 of Parts 4 to 6 of Schedule 5, the required statement that describes the nature of the hazard presented by a hazardous product. ( mention de danger ) initial boiling point means the temperature of a liquid at which its vapour pressure is equal to the standard pressure of 101.3 kPa, i.e., the temperature at which the first gas bubble appears. ( point d’ébullition initial ) initial supplier identifier means the name, address and telephone number of (a) the manufacturer; or (b) the importer of the hazardous product who operates in Canada. ( identificateur du fournisseur initial ) LC 50 means the concentration of a mixture or substance in air that causes the death of 50.0% of a group of test animals. ( CL 50 ) LD 50 means the single dose of a mixture or substance that, when administered by a particular exposure route in an animal study, is expected to cause the death of 50.0% of a given animal population. ( DL 50 ) liquid means a mixture or substance that (a) at 50°C has a vapour pressure of 300 kPa or less; (b) is not completely gaseous at 20°C and at the standard pressure of 101.3 kPa; and (c) has a melting point or initial melting point of 20°C or less at the standard pressure of 101.3 kPa or, in the case of a mixture or substance for which neither can be determined, is shown (i) to be a liquid as a result of the ASTM International method ASTM D4359-90, entitled Standard Test Method for Determining Whether a Material Is a Liquid or a Solid , as amended from time to time, or (ii) to not be pasty as a result of the test for determining fluidity (penetrometer test), referred to in section 4 of chapter 3 of Part 2, numbered 2.3.4, of Annex A of the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous
