The principal display
panel of a label must be located on that part of the container
normally
displayed to the user.
The label must contain three basic mandatory statements
which must, where applicable, appear in a prescribed manner:
- Product Identity Declaration.
- Net Quantity Declaration.
- Dealer Name and Principal Place Of Business.
The product identity and net quantity declaration must appear on the
principal
display panel.
The following sections will discuss these mandatory statements in
detail.

The Product Identity Declaration is not be required if:
- The product is usually sold by count and is packaged in such a
way
that it is visible and identifiable; or
- The product is usually sold by count and bears an accurate
pictorial
representation of the package contents.
|
| |
|
The label may show the common name of the product in terms of its
generic
name or function. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
The Net Quantity Declaration is not required if:
- The quantity is usually measured by count, the count is one, and
the product identity declaration is given in the singular form.
- The product is usually sold by count and is packaged so that the
contents are visible and identifiable, and there are fewer than
seven
articles, or there are fewer than 13 articles which can be easily
counted.

The "dealer" is the person who is a retailer,
manufacturer,
processor, or producer of a product, or a person who is engaged in the
business of importing, packing, or selling any product. In identifying
the dealer, the label must be designed to meet the following
requirements: |
| |
|
The name and place of business of the producer, or of the person for
whom the product was produced for resale, must be on the label. The
address
should be sufficient to ensure postal
delivery. |
| |
|
Except in the case of an ornamental
container, the dealer identification must be located anywhere on
the
outside of the container, except on the bottom. |
| |
|
The dealer identification must be given in either English or
French. |
| |
|
The dealer identification must be clearly legible, and printed in a
font at least 1.6 mm (1/16") in height. |
| |
|
If the product is wholly imported, the dealer identification must
meet
additional imported
identification
requirements. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
The container for the product must be constructed, filled and
displayed
so that consumers are not misled about either the quality or quantity
of the product. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
No false or misleading information can be placed on the label. The
product must conform with claims made on the label relating, for
example,
to type, quality, performance, function, origin, and method of
manufacture.
Products which claim to be "Made
in Canada" must meet specific criteria. |
