Solvent Degreasing Regulations (SOR/2003-283)
The purpose of the Solvent Degreasing Regulations is to reduce releases of trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PERC) into the environment from solvent degreasing facilities using more than 1 000 kilograms of TCE and PERC per year. These Regulations include a market intervention by establishing tradable allowances for the use of TCE and PERC in solvent degreasing operations that exceed the 1 000 kilograms threshold per year.
