1.1 Specifications for Rejection Tags

In the case of a device with a non-compliance that cannot be corrected for any reason, a rejection tag accepted by Measurement Canada must be attached (sealed) to it in a prominent location. Does not apply to initial inspections.

The tag’s text shall be in black on a white or yellow background, including the Measurement Canada signature (logo). However, if the flag in the Measurement Canada signature and/or on the “Canada” wordmark is in colour, the colour “Flushed Ink Process Red” (FIP Red) must be used.

The rejection tag must be 6 cm x 12 cm (minimum) and be made of material resistant to climatic conditions, such as Tyvek 1073D or Polyart Synthetic for example. A rejection tag printed on regular paper, enclosed in a laminated pouch is also acceptable. Any other material must be evaluated and accepted by Measurement Canada and will be published upon acceptance.

The rejection tag must be designed to provide the following information in English and French:

• Measurement Canada’s signature and “Canada” wordmark;

• The words Rejected / Rejeté in bold and in letters 5 mm in height (minimum); no other words are permitted. The balance of the text shall be in letters of at least 2 mm in height.
