Environment Canada has asked us to inform our members and others about these new regulatory requirements:

Attached is an Environment Canada fact sheet with important information about the Phase-out and Disposal of Halons in Fire-extinguishing Systems in Canada

This fact sheet aims to inform owners of halon fire-extinguishing systems and personnel servicing these systems of the phase-out requirements and disposal options for these systems in Canada.

NOTE: Phase-out provisions, which come into effect Jan.1, 2010, regarding re-charging halon fire-extinguishing systems may apply to your situation. Please review the attached Halon Fact Sheet to learn more about these provisions.
