chpa标准
CHPA标准是加拿大针对消费品安全的一项法规,全称为加拿大消费品安全法案(Consumer Product Safety Act)。
该标准对消费品的安全性做出了规定,要求制造商、进口商和分销商确保其销售的消费品符合相关标准和规定。
CHPA标准涵盖了广泛的消费品,包括玩具、儿童用品、家用电器、家具、服装、化妆品等。
该标准要求制造商和进口商对其产品进行测试,以确保符合相关标准和规定,并要求在产品上加贴CHPA标签,以向消费者表明该产品符合加拿大的安全标准。
CHPA标准的测试要求包括电危害、窒息危害、毒性危害、发热危害、机械危害等,以及对特殊产品的特定要求,如洋娃娃、毛绒玩具和柔软的玩具、推拉玩具、用手指敷的水彩颜料、摇铃、弹性绳、电池和化妆玩具等。
在CHPA标准中,对某些有毒物质如铅、汞、锑、砷、钡、镉或硒等元素的可迁移量做出了限制。
例如,铅的限量为600mg/kg,汞不得含有任何,其他有毒元素如锑、砷、钡、镉或硒的迁移量不能超过%。
总的来说,CHPA标准是加拿大对消费品安全的一项重要法规,旨在保护消费者的权益和安全。
制造商和进口商必须确保其产品符合该标准的要求,并在产品上加贴CHPA标签,以向消费者表明该产品的安全性。
BackgroundBill C-36, also known as the CCPSA, is proposed legislation that was introduced bythe Government of Canada on June 9, 2010. The proposed CCPSA would replace Part Iand Schedule I to the HPA (dealing with consumer products) and introduce a newlegislative regime.An objective of the new legislation is to modernize and strengthen product safety laws by overhauling existing rules to further protect the health and safety of Canadians. The proposed CCPSA would enhance the federal government’s ability to take action when consumer products pose, or are likely to pose, an unreasonable danger to human health or safety. Additionally, the proposed CCPSA would give the Government the power to order recalls on products that are found to be unsafe.The HPA currently consists of three Parts. Part I of the HPA deals with consumer products.Part I references Schedule I which consists of two Parts (i.e., Schedule I, Part I and Schedule I, Part II). Part II of the HPA deals with the Controlled Products Regulations and Ingredient Disclosure List. They set out the supplier label and material safety data sheet requirements for the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System in Canada. Part III of the HPA deals with administration and enforcement. It is important to note that Part II and Part III of the HPA would not be affected if the CCPSA came into force. Parts II and III would remain unaltered and in effect.Certain Prohibitions and Regulations would be Transferred from the HPA to the CCPSAPart I of Schedule I to the HPA itemizes prohibited products (completely prohibited or prohibited with conditions). For example:•Baby walkers are prohibited under all conditions and are not allowed to be imported, sold, or advertised in Canada.•Toys are prohibited if certain conditions are not met. For example, if a toy contains excessive levels of lead or emits a sound over 100 decibels, it is prohibited under the HPA.Part II of Schedule I to the HPA itemizes products for which there are restrictions. These products are referred to as regulated products, and each regulation has specific requirements.The proposed CCPSA contains a list of prohibited products (Schedule 2); however, the proposed CCPSA does not have a list of regulated products.If the CCPSA comes into force, the Items (consumer products) listed in Parts I and II of Schedule I to the HPA would be repealed. Under the proposed CCPSA, most of these Items would be addressed as follows:Prohibited Items (Part I of Schedule I to the HPA)Thirty-one prohibited Items under Part I of Schedule I to the HPA would either be prohibited or regulated under the CCPSA, and these Items would be:1.Listed on Schedule 2 of the CCPSA;2.Incorporated into an existing Regulation via a regulatory amendment;3.Incorporated into Regulations that would repeal and replace Regulations; or4.Prescribed in new Regulations if there were no existing Regulations.Two prohibited Items under Part I of Schedule I to the HPA would not be transferred to the CCPSA (see explanation below).Restricted (Regulated) Items (Part II of Schedule I to the HPA)The 36 regulated Items under Part II of Schedule I to the HPA would still be regulated under the CCPSA (note that some Regulations address multiple restricted Items):1.20 product-specific Regulations would be transferred without amendments pursuantto paragraph 44(g) of the Interpretation Act.2.Two product-specific Regulations would be amended to ensure the requirements andprohibitions would continue to apply under the CCPSA.In addition, the Department would be making amendments to two Regulations to address recommendations made by the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations to ensure inconsistencies between the English and French text and other non-substantive issues in the Regulations are corrected.For further details on the regulatory activities taking place, please see Annex 2. For further details on how the Items from Parts I and II of Schedule I to the HPA would be regulated or prohibited under the proposed CCPSA, please see Annexes 3 and 4.Prohibited Items from Part I of Schedule I to the HPA that would not be Transferred to the CCPSAFor the reasons described below, it should be noted that the following two Items from Part I of Schedule I to the HPA would not be transferred to the CCPSA:1)Item 36: Any mechanism that resembles or is intended to resemble a “clock-bomb” Item 36 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA would not be transferred to the CCPSA because the product in itself is not and will not likely be a danger to the health and safety of the public. Any danger that may arise from these mechanisms is due to their illegal use, and the use or misuse of these products is a matter more closely associated with regulating peace and order. The criminal use of imitation bombs or replica explosive devices is currently prohibited under the Criminal Code.2)Item 41: Cigarettes that do not meet certain flammability standardsItem 41 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA would not be transferred to the CCPSA because this prohibition is currently regulated under the Cigarette Ignition Propensity Regulations made under the Tobacco Act. However, subsection 4(2) of the proposed CCPSA would recognize that cigarette ignition propensity can be regulated under the Act.ContactFor more information, please contact Consumer Product Safety at CCPSA-LCSPC@hc-sc.gc.ca.

The Children’s Sleepwear Regulations would include the requirements of the repealed Regulations and would also include Item 5 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA in order to continue regulating all flammability requirements for children’s sleepwear under the CCPSA.2.Restraint Systems and Booster Seats for Motor Vehicles RegulationsThe intent is to repeal the Hazardous Products (Child Restraint Systems) Regulations and the Hazardous Products (Booster Cushions) Regulations and replace them with the Restraint Systems and Booster Seats for Motor Vehicles Regulations. The Restraint Systems and Booster Seats for Motor Vehicles Regulations would include the requirements of both repealed Regulations and would also include Item 35 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA in order to continue regulating car seats and other vehicle child-restraint systems under the CCPSA.3.Toys RegulationsThe intent is to repeal the Hazardous Products (Toys) Regulations and replace them with the Toys Regulations. The Toys Regulations would include the requirements of the repealed Regulations and would also include Items 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 21 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA in order to continue regulating the safety of toys under the CCPSA. The Toys Regulations would also include changes to improve clarity and to correct inconsistencies in the English and the French text and other errors as requested by the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations.Prescription of Prohibited Items: New Regulations1.Candles RegulationsThese Regulations would be made from Item 29 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA which prohibits spontaneously reigniting candles (i.e., joke relight candles).2.Children’s Jewellery RegulationsThese Regulations would be made from Item 42 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA and would continue to limit the amount of lead permitted in children’s jewellery to 600 mg/kg total lead and 90 mg/kg of migratable lead.3.Face Protectors for Ice Hockey and Box Lacrosse Players RegulationsThese Regulations would be made from Item 20 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA. These Regulations would continue to reference the Canadian Standards Association standard.4. Ice Hockey Helmet RegulationsThese Regulations would be made from Item 19 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA. These Regulations would continue to reference the Canadian Standards Association standard.5.Textile Flammability RegulationsThese Regulations would be created from Items 4 and 13 of Part I of Schedule I to the HPA in order to continue regulating the flammability of general textiles (e.g., curtains) and bedding under the CCPSA.Continuation of Requirements and Prohibitions Respecting Restricted Items:Amended Regulations1.Asbestos Products RegulationsCurrently, under the HPA structure, the following non-crocidolite asbestos productsare prohibited in section 3 of the Regulations:•an asbestos product for use in modeling or sculpture;•an asbestos product for use in simulating ashes or embers; and• a consumer product that is composed entirely of asbestos.Replacing section 2 and amending section 3 of the Regulations would maintain these prohibitions. In addition, amendments to sections 4 and 5 of the Regulations wouldbe made to maintain the authorization of the advertisement, sale or importation ofcertain crocidolite asbestos products. Amendments would also be made to improveclarity and correct inconsistencies and other various errors in the English and Frenchtext of the Regulations as requested by the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutinyof Regulations.2.Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001The wording of these Regulations would need to be amended to maintain the same prohibitions of chemical products and containers if moving from the HPA to the CCPSA. In order to maintain the prohibitions, section 2 would need to be replaced, section 38 would need to be re-introduced, and sections 45 and 53 would need to be replaced.It is important to note that these regulatory activities would not result in any new regulatory requirements for industry. These activities would be undertaken to maintain the existing level of protection and safety to consumers.Table 1: Summary of Regulatory ActivitiesRegulations IncorporatingItems from theHPAAmendmentsforConsistencywith theCCPSACorrectingInconsistenciesin TextIncorporation of Prohibited Items: Amended RegulationsSurface CoatingMaterials RegulationsxIncorporation of Prohibited Items: Regulations that would Repeal and ReplaceChildren’s SleepwearRegulationsxRestraint Systems andBooster Seats for MotorVehicles RegulationsxToys Regulations x x Prescription of Prohibited Items: New RegulationsCandles Regulations xChildren’s JewelleryRegulationsxFace Protectors for IceHockey and Box LacrossePlayers RegulationsxRegulations IncorporatingItems from theHPAAmendmentsforConsistencywith theCCPSACorrectingInconsistenciesin TextIce Hockey HelmetsRegulationsxTextile FlammabilityRegulationsxContinuation of Requirements and Prohibitions Respecting Restricted Items: Amended RegulationsAsbestos ProductsRegulationsx xConsumer Chemicals andContainers Regulations,2001xAnnex 3: Crosswalk of the Transfer of Items from Part I of Schedule I to the Hazardous Products Act to the proposed Canada Consumer Product Safety ActItem Part I of Schedule I to the Hazardous Products Act Canada Consumer Product Safety Act1 Jequirity beans (abrus precatorius) or any substance or articlemade from or including jequirity beans in whole or in part.Schedule 2, Item 12 Furniture and other articles for children that are painted with asurface coating material that contains lead compounds ofwhich the total lead content is more than 600 mg/kg.

Fira法案。
trims协议影响?Fira法案将投资措施纳入到国际管制轨道的初步尝试,源自于GA TT专家组对FIRA案的裁决。
1974年,加拿大颁布了其《外国投资审查法》(Foreign Investment Review Act,FIRA),要求加拿大政府对可能的外国投资和投资者进行审查,只有当该投资符合FIRA法案规定的基本标准,被认为对加拿大有重大利益时(可以增加加拿大的就业与出口,可以获得先进的技术),才可获得批准,如果投资者想获得更优惠的待遇,那么他们必须向加拿大做出书面承诺。
FIRA法案通过的目的就在于引导外国投资投向有利于加拿大经济和社会发展的领域,预防外资尤其是美国资本对加拿大经济的渗透和控制。
但FIRA法案的通过引起了美国的强烈不满,并最终于1982年向GA TT专家组提起了针对加拿大的诉讼。
美国的具体诉由是这样的:由于美国的苹果公司想在加拿大投资,它就不得不与加拿大政府事先达成三项承诺:1)购买承诺。
即苹果公司同意购买部分加拿大生产的零部件;2)生产承诺。
即苹果公司保证在产品中增加一定程度的加拿大价值,也就是说要采用部分加拿大产品,雇佣部分加拿大工人;3)出口承诺,即苹果公司要向全球的苹果经销商推荐加拿大生产的辅助设备。
美国认为,苹果公司的购买承诺和生产承诺违反了GA TT第3条第4款(国民待遇条款);第3条第5款(当地成份条款);而出口承诺违反了GA TT第11条第1款第3项(一般取消数量限制条款)。
在案件的审理中,专家组虽然否定了美国的许多诉由,但最终还是认定FIRA法案违反了GA TT第3条第4款(国民待遇条款)。
专家组认为,要求企业必须购买原产于加拿大的产品,将使从国外进口的类似产品处于不利地位,违反了国民待遇条款。
专家组对FIRA案的裁决给国际社会发出了三个明确的信号:1)购买承诺这种投资措施是违反GA TT义务的;2)东道国管理和引导外资的权力可能会因为违反GA TT而受到国际的约束;3)多边贸易体制同样可以插手投资问题。

其宪政体制源于英国的模式。
尽管伊丽莎白二世女王是加拿大的国家元首,但加拿大政府却是由全体公民通过民主的方式选举产生的。
由于加拿大是联邦制的国家,因此宪法规定立法权和行政管理权分别由联邦政府和十个省政府行使。
联邦政府和省政府都是分别由选民直接选举产生,这样,无论是联邦一级还是省一级政府,执政党经常出自于不同的政党。
联邦政府或省政府在某些领域拥有完全的管辖权。
在另一些领域,可能联邦政府和省级政府对同一事务有不同的管辖权。
另外,省政府把一些管理权限委托给市级政府行使。
因此一项商业活动有可能同时受联邦,省和市三级政府管辖,它还可能受行政部门的政策以及各级法院的管辖。
在大多数情况下,联邦议会的权限只涉及加拿大整体的问题立法,例如国际贸易,各省之间的贸易,国防,公民和移民事务,刑事法律,货币,知识产权,邮政,航天以及广播事业。
联邦议会也负责审议育空地区,努那伍特地区和西北地区的事物。
这些地区也享有一些自治权,并通过选举产生的区管委会管理本区的事务。
在某些地区,基于有关条约和协议,加拿大的原驻民行使有限的自治管理。
加拿大的十个省在私有财产,合同签署,自然资源,土地使用和计划,司法审判, 教育,卫生医疗和市政管理方面享有立法权并有权制定省级有关法律。
大多数涉及一般商业活动商务法律也由各省立法机构制定。
但是,加拿大各省这方面的法律规定在诸多方面和很大程度上都保持一致。
实际上,加拿大联邦和各省政府对涉及省一级的立法权限管辖的事务,通常以分担财政和权力代行的方式进行合作,从而创造出在全国范围内实施的共同机制。
例如,在医疗卫生方面设立有全国的标准并建立了联邦专款基金。
尽管各省根据宪法有权征收所得税,但是,除魁北克省外,其他各省都被授权为联邦政府征收所得税。
因此,有关所得税征收的规定和程序在加拿大全国范围相对来说是一致的。
加拿大的宪法包括«人权与自由宪章»,它规定了个人在和政府发生关系时的一些权利。

新NAFTA令加拿大在线购物消费者乐疯了!新NAFTA令加拿大在线购物消费者乐疯了!从1985年至今,加拿大人如果通过海外邮购进入加拿大的商品超过20加元就会被收取关税,最高的征收关税的额度将会达到20%。
现在好了,刚刚签字的美加NAFTA协定,加拿大在线购物消费者受益良多。
在新的自由贸易规则下,美国要求加拿大允许本国消费者在线购买美国产品额度增加至800美元!加拿大经过力争之后,同意将过去的20加币额度提高到150加币!这将使得更多的消费者转向在线购物来买美国产品,对于本地的实体店零售商压力山大。
加拿大轮胎的发言人表示,这个协议将刺激本土的消费者绕过加拿大零售商在线上购买美国商品!美国大型在线零售商亚马逊和EBay都对此非常开心,他们一直要求加拿大政府提高免税线上购物的额度!本地的加拿大零售商则对此极力反对。
加拿大零售商协会反应的问题更加尖锐,这个心问题就是:如果美加贸易协定使得在线购物的免税额增加,那么对于与加拿大没有优惠贸易协定的中国,进口产品就会出现竞争力下降!例如,从中国进口加拿大的服饰鞋类产品,最高的关税可达20%,加拿大本土的零售商即使批发价购买,然后赚钱批零差的话,也无法与中国进口到美国,然后消费者通过网上购物的价格便宜!加拿大人之所以喜欢去美国购物的原因,还是因为两个国家之间显著的零售价差。
大到一辆私家车,小到婴儿用食品或是一盒冰激凌,同样的产品在美国显然比加拿大便宜。
根据国际经合组织OECD调查显示:加元的平价购买力比美元的(PPP)差了22%。
同样牌子,款式,配置的汽车,美国比加拿大便宜11%。
同样一双耐克鞋,隔着一个大瀑布,价差居然能够达到37%。
一本一模一样的杂志在美国只卖5.49,加拿大要买6.49。
加拿大的消费者比起美国普通人简直是水深火热啊!造成零售价差的原因有各方面的原因,在2012年加元与美元平算的时刻,消费者民怨沸腾,因此政府组成专门的调查小组,但是至今没有明确答案,随着加币的贬值,人们又开始习惯差价,此事就不了了之。
