(1) For the purposes of subparagraph (a)(i) of the definition of polymer of low concern in subsection 5(1) of the Act, the characteristics relating to weight for a polymer that has a number average molecular weight that is greater than or equal to 1,000, but less than 10,000, are set out in this regulation.
(2) The polymer must:
(a) have less than 10% by mass of molecules with molecular weight that is less than 500; and
(b) have less than 25% by mass of molecules with molecular weight that is less than 1,000.
Polymers that include moderate concern reactive functional groups and do not include high concern reactive functional groups
(3) In addition to the characteristics mentioned in subregulation (2), if the polymer includes moderate concern reactive functional groups, and does not include high concern reactive functional groups, the polymer must have a combined functional group equivalent weight of at least 1,000.
(4) In calculating the weight mentioned in subregulation (3), all moderate concern reactive functional groups included in the polymer must be taken into account.
Polymers that include high concern reactive functional groups
(5) In addition to the characteristics mentioned in subregulation (2), if the polymer includes high concern reactive functional groups, the polymer must have a combined functional group equivalent weight of at least 5,000.

(a) all moderate concern reactive functional groups included in the polymer;
(b) all high concern reactive functional groups included in the polymer.
4B Polymer of low concern—number average molecular weight that is 10,000 or greater (Act s 5)
For the purposes of subparagraph (a)(i) of the definition of polymer of low concern in subsection 5(1) of the Act, the characteristics relating to weight for a polymer that has a number average molecular weight that is 10,000 or greater are that the polymer must:
(a) have less than 2% by mass of molecules with molecular weight that is less than 500; and
(b) have less than 5% by mass of molecules with molecular weight that is less than 1,000.
(1A) For the purposes of paragraph (f) of the definition of polymer of low concern in subsection 5(1) of the Act, the characteristics set out in this regulation are prescribed.
(1) A polymer must contain as an integral part of its composition at least 2 of the following atomic elements:
(2) A polymer must not contain as an integral part of its composition (except as impurities) an atomic element other than the following:
(3) A polymer that is capable of absorbing its own weight in water must not have a number average molecular weight that is 10 000 or greater.
(4) A polymer must not contain as an integral part of its composition (except as an impurity) a chain (whether branched or linear) of fully fluorinated carbon atoms, at least one end of which is terminated by a perfluoromethyl (CF3) group.
(1C) For the purposes of subparagraph 21(6)(d)(ii) of the Act, the requirements set out in subregulations (7A), (8) and (9) are prescribed.
(i) a statement setting out each requirement of subregulations (2) to (5) and how that requirement is complied with; and
(i) a statement setting out each requirement of subregulations (2) to (4) and how that requirement is complied with; and
(4) For the registration year beginning on 1 September 2018, the amounts are as follows:
(5) For the registration year beginning on 1 September 2019, and for each later registration year, the amounts are as follows:
(a) for the purposes of table item 1—$350;
(b) for the purposes of table item 2—$2,315;
(c) for the purposes of table item 3—$24,440.
