Join the Canadian Apparel Federation for the first session of Chemicals in Clothes, a new twice-yea rly webinar series on the regulations that govern chemical compliance for apparel and textile products. Each session covers new developments in diff erent jurisdictions. This webinar deals with reporting requirements in Can ada and Proposition 65 requirements for firms that need to follow requirem ents in California. It gives brands, importers, and retailers the practica l guidance they need to comply.

Beyond those requ irements, key retailers in the Canadian marketplace are now asking that ve ndors guarantee that they meet ECCC reporting requirements (not just the p roduct-based requirements vendors are accustomed to). \;

Bruce Calder of Claigan Environmental presents all three topic s in this session:

The Notice with respect to certain substances under the C hemicals Management Plan &ndash\; 2026 Phase 1 &\; Phase 2 was publishe d on August 29, 2026. These notices are mandatory, and importers of finish ed goods can be in scope.

Key topics:

2. Canada: Federal Plastics Registry Update

Phase 1 reporting continues for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 ca lendar years. Phase 1 covers product packaging, so apparel and textile com panies that import or sell packaged goods must report.

3. California: Proposition 65 Warning Requirements for 2028 and the 2026 Omnibus

Starting i n 2028, the generic Prop 65 warning will no longer be valid. Short-form wa rnings must name a specific substance.

Bruce will explain the 2028 rules, the 2026 Omnibus updates, and a practic al approach to compliance, drawing on Claigan's work on thousands of produ cts.

Key topics:
