WHMIS will be implemented by federal and provincial legislation. The recently amended Hazardous Products Act (HPA) and the Controlled Products Regulations will require suppliers of hazardous materials to provide adequate labels and MSDSs as conditions of sale and importation. The Ingredient Disclosure List contains the names of chemicals which must be identified on material safety data sheets if they are included in products which fall into the WHMIS criteria/specified in the Controlled Products Regulations. The Hazardous Materials Information Review Act and regulations will establish a Commission to rule on claims and appeals related to exemptions from disclosure of confidential business information. 3, record 1, English, - Hazardous%20Products%20Act

hectopascal: Unit of pressure in the SI system, equal to 102 Pa. 6, record 5, English, - hectopascal
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Atmospheric pressure is measured in two units, hectopascals (hPa) and inches of mercury (Hg). The hectopascal is the international unit of measure for atmospheric pressure and inches of mercury are used in the U.S. for aviation purposes. 7, record 5, English, - hectopascal
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
In the U.S., air pressure at the surface is reported in inches of mercury while air pressure aloft is reported in millibars, also known as hectopascals (hPa). Scientists, however, generally use pressures in hectopascals. In the rest of the world, measurements are usually given in hectopascals although you will sometimes see them in centimeters of mercury, especially on older barometers. The term "hectopascals" is replacing the term "millibars." 8, record 5, English, - hectopascal
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A millibar is 1000 dynes per square centimeter, or 100 pascal (Pa). Surface pressure averages around 1013 millibars. 9, record 5, English, - hectopascal

L'unité légale de mesure de la pression, dans le système international, est le PASCAL (N/m²) ainsi que ses multiples et sous-multiples.
