Health Canada has proposed new regulatory requirements for lithium-ion batteries and consumer products containing them under the CCPSA. The proposal focuses on mitigating risks such as overheating, thermal runaway, short circuits, and fire or explosion, using recognized international safety standards as compliance benchmarks.
The initiative aligns Canada with global regulatory trends and highlights the growing importance of testing, certification, documentation, and traceability for market access. The pre-consultation period runs until February 14, 2026.
