      <image:title>The Valence Review - Chemicals Under Pressure - The new "Chemicals Under Pressure" hazard class has created a dangerous regulatory gap between OSHA and WHMIS.</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you sell industrial adhesives, spray foams, or chemical cleaners in cylinders (not standard aerosol cans), check your Safety Data Sheets (SDS) immediately. As of December 15, 2025, Canada’s grace period for the "Chemicals Under Pressure" hazard class has officially ended. If you are shipping these products to Canada with a standard "Gases Under Pressure" or "Flammable Liquid" label, you are technically non-compliant. Here is what you need to know about the new regulatory reality for 2026. 1. What is "Chemicals Under Pressure"? Both OSHA (HCS 2024) and Health Canada (WHMIS 2022 Amendments) have adopted this new hazard class from GHS Revision 7/8. It closes a specific loophole. In the old way, if you had a cylinder containing 50% liquid glue and 50% compressed gas, you often had to classify it awkwardly as a "Flammable Liquid" and a "Gas Under Pressure." It was confusing for emergency responders. In the new way, this product is now distinct. Aerosols: Defined by the specific "aerosol dispenser" mechanism (non-refillable, self-closing valve). Chemicals Under Pressure: Liquids or solids (pastes, powders) pressurized by a gas in a receptacle (often refillable or larger cylinders) at 200 kPa or more. 2. The Regulatory Gap This is where US exporters get burned. In Canada (WHMIS): The law is active now. The transition period ended on Dec 15, 2025. If your Canadian SDS/label doesn't explicitly state "Chemical Under Pressure" (Category 1, 2, or 3), it is wrong. In the USA (OSHA): The rule is final but delayed. The mandatory compliance deadline for substances is not until May 19, 2026 (extended from Jan 19), and mixtures have until 2027. The Commercial Risk: US manufacturers are waiting for the OSHA deadline to update their labels. But if you ship that "old" label to a Canadian distributor today, their rigorous intake algorithms may reject it because it fails the WHMIS 2025 check.</image:caption>
