Can i defect to canada

Wrinkles formed in the curl of can ends. The resulting curl thickness may be outside of guidelines, or wrinkles may form open channels through the double seam. There are certain cases in which a certain degree of wrinkling in the curl of the can end is introduced by the design of the can end. If such is the case, the wrinkles will be considered as a defect when they are outside of the guidelines of the can end maker. A broken chuck is considered a serious seam defect , due to absence of tightness at the point of the defect.

A portion of the double seam which is not properly ironed-out because of a void in the chuck lip insufficiently tight , and appearing as an irregularity on the countersink wall of the seam. Only the clinching operation was completed. Cans are removed to check the clinching operation; these cans must be replaced so that the seaming operation will be completed. A cutover is a sharp seam that has fractured and is considered a serious seam defect. A sharp seam is considered a minor seam defect.

A sharp seam is a sharp fin of metal formed when the seaming panel radius of the end is forced over the top of the seaming chuck flange during the seaming operation. Cutovers are sharp seams which have fractured and often occur at the crossover and with product inclusions but may occur all the way around the double seam; are best detected by running a finger around the inside of the seam.

Cutovers are often accompanied by other external double seam defects as shown above KDC with Cutover. A cut-down flange is considered a serious seam defect due to the absence of overlap.

A portion of the body flange which is torn or cut with part of the flange turned back against the can body, without being engaged with the end hook, and may protrude below the bottom of the normal seam. Severe forms of this defect result in a hole in the can body just below the double seam. A unique type of CDF is the "index fault" found on reformed cans which consists of a characteristic tear in the flange approximately mm from the reform ridge on the can body, due to flange damage caused by the reformer picker finger.

The only true assessment is done in a teardown where optical seam measurements of the overlap and seam tightness are assessed applying can manufacturing guidelines. A smooth projection of the end hook of the double seam below the bottom of the normal seam.

A droop which shows signs of second operation roll marks will be assessed for classification in terms of overlap; otherwise see fractured seam 7. A defect where a portion of the body flange is bent back against the body, without being engaged with the end hook, but does not protrude below the bottom of the end hook radius.

This is similar to a knocked-down flange defect where the body flange is visible below the end hook radius. This defect is difficult to observe and requires close visual inspection of the underside of the double seam where sometimes 2 layers of metal can be seen. Confirmation of this classification often requires a seam cut to observe the configuration of the end curl and body flange.

A fractured seam is considered a serious seam defect when the metal is fractured. A fracture or break in the end hook radius. This defect may be difficult to observe without magnification. Seams which show second operation roll marks should be closely examined for this defect, particularly at the side seam or if a droop is present. Sometimes designated: Cut Seam see cut seam 7. Adequate overlap is an essential requirement for the integrity of a double seam.

Calculating overlap by formula provides only an estimate of the overlap. A jumped seam is considered a serious seam defect due to inadequate seam tightness. Externally, this defect may appear as a looseness of the seam at one side of the crossover. Internally this defect appears as 2 or 3 looseness wrinkles at one side of the crossover. The defect occurs when the seaming rolls jump off the extra thickness of the crossover area.

The side of the crossover on which the defect occurs depends on the seaming roll direction in relation to the crossover.

The key tab portion of end curl not properly incorporated into the double seam resulting in reduced or no overlap. The key tab may be cocked crooked or extended downward partially or completely.

Vees may be present on either side of the key tab and the double seam may be fractured. A key tab seamed to the inside of the double seam is considered a serious double seam defect.

The key tab is not visible from the exterior of the can. There may be vees on either side of the area where the key tab is normally located.

The tab is seen on the inside of the can when opened. A knocked-down curl is considered a serious double seam defect due to the absence of overlap. A portion of the end hook which is not engaged with the body hook but is turned down against the can body exposing the cut edge of the end plate.

Variations of this defect can range from a 'V' with the edge of the end plate exposed, to complete knocking-down of the end hook all the way around the can. A knocked-down end is considered a serious seam defect , due to the absence of overlap. Severe distortion of the can end, as though struck by a downward blow inside the countersink, such that the hooks are disengaged or fail to engage, and part of the curl is pulled back to expose the flange.

In severe forms of this defect the end curl is pulled back to expose form a hole in the can end. A knocked-down flange is considered a serious seam defect due to the absence of overlap. A portion of the body flange which is bent back against the body, without being engaged with the end hook, and protruding below the bottom of the end hook radius. This is similar to a false seam defect where the body flange is not readily visible below the end hook radius. Severe forms of this defect involve knocking-down of both the flange and body leaving a distinctive gap between the can end and body.

When caused by a feed screw spacer on the canning line, the defect has a distinctive "V"-shaped dent to the flange and body with a "signature" scratch down the centre. A loose seam is normally characterized by one or more of the following conditions: rounded appearance of the double seam profile a bowed seam configuration ; seam thickness which exceeds accepted can manufacturer's guidelines; the can has a faint or no pressure ridge; and a low tightness rating.

In severe examples of loose seams, the body hook and the end hook of a cut out seam saw cross section double seam may slide apart. This slippage condition in the double seam would demonstrate loose seam condition. Only the first operation was completed. Cans are removed to check the first seaming operation; these cans must be replaced so that the second operation seaming will be completed. A pleat is considered a serious defect if the pleat extends to the bottom of the double seam.

A pleat is a fold in the end hook which may be accompanied by a small vee-shaped projection of the end hook radius and the metal of the fold may be fractured. A pucker is intermediate between a wrinkle and a pleat, where the end hook is locally distorted downwards; it may or may not be externally visible.

A pucker is considered a serious defect if there is insufficient overlap see 7. A pucker is intermediate between a wrinkle and a pleat where the end hook is locally distorted downwards; it may or may not be externally visible. A smooth projection of the end hook of the double seam below the bottom of the normal seam at the crossover. A slight droop at the crossover may be considered normal because of the additional plate thicknesses incorporated in the seam structure.

However, excessive droop at this point is not acceptable. A spinner is an incompletely ironed out double seam. It occurs when the chuck slips on the can end. This defect is characterized by part of the seam having normal thickness and part of the seam being loose thick.

This defect may be accompanied by a scuffing of the countersink wall radius caused by the chuck slipping. First operation spinner shows signs of vees around can, second operation spinner has incomplete double seam. Alternate terms: deadhead, skidder, incomplete double seam Associated Conditions: scuffed seam. Vees are considered to be serious double seam defects due to the absence of overlap at the point of the vee.

A sharp 'V' shaped projection of the end hook of the double seam below the bottom of the normal seam which results in no overlap. Misembossing includes sharp, illegible, misplaced, or multiple embossing. Sharp embossing may fracture the coating, leading to corrosion and perforation, or it may fracture the metal plate. Misplaced embossing which interferes with the pull tab or is on the scoreline or reinforcement lines or rings is likely to cause a fracture of the metal plate.

The terms overfill, flipper, springer, and swell are used to describe cans which have end s distended to varying degrees from several causes. The cans must be checked for microbial growth, chemical reaction such as hydrogen gas production, internal corrosion or weight. Panelling is considered a serious container profile defect if the can body has been sharply distorted such that the internal coating has fractured or the double seam or side seam has been distorted.

A permanent distortion collapsing of the can body generally observed on larger sized containers. Appears as flat, vertical panels or indentations of the can body. A peaked can is considered a serious container profile defect if the can end has been sharply distorted such that the metal plate or coating has fractured or the double seam has been distorted.

A permanent outward distortion of the can end in the form of pyramidal-like deformities near the double seams, resulting from a large differential between internal and external container pressures. Excessive peaking will adversely affect the integrity of the double seam. A mechanical wearing of the metal plate. Abrasion results in the weakening of the metal plate making the abraded area susceptible to either fracture or corrosion which could eventually perforate the metal plate.

Chalky white deposits or corrosion on the side seam solder, which are unlikely to develop into a rusting condition. The deterioration of the metal plate from the inside or the outside of the container as a result of chemical reaction which can lead to penetration of the metal plate. Most commonly seen is external corrosion rust due to dampness see also coating skips 7. The physical tearing or cutting through of the outer layer of metal plate on the double seam, such that the inner layers of the double seam are exposed and the integrity of the double seam is compromised.

Alternate terms: torn seam, cable cut Sometimes designated: fractured seam see 7. A pull tab which has been twisted or distorted out of the horizontal or parallel plane with the can end.

The scoreline may be pierced by the point of the tab, possibly resulting in leakage. The pull tab rivet may have been fractured or broken. Damaged coating is considered a serious material handling defect if metal is scored and the product packed is corrosive. Damaged coating is considered a minor material handling defect when exposed metal is not susceptible to rust and corrosion.

Obvious physical damage to either the inside or outside coated surface of the can end or can body which exposes bare metal, such as scratches, rub or scuff marks, essentially cosmetic in nature, but susceptible to corrosion see corrosion - 7. While fracture of the metal plate is obviously a loss of hermetic seal, the fracture of the coating may or may not result in reaction of the metal with the product or loss of hermetic seal. Where the metal is coated with tin and then overlayered with an organic coating, there is a double system of protection.

If the product is very aggressive to tinplate, then the organic coating is very important. If the product is not aggressive to tinplate, then the loss of the organic coating is not important, especially if there is no reduction in expected shelf life of the product.

A damaged end curl is considered a serious handling defect when the end curl interferes with the double seam formation. A damaged flange is considered a serious handling defect when damage extends more than 0. A dented, bent or deformed end curl on the can end s or flange on can body such that it may cause seaming difficulties such as can end feed jam-ups and defective double seams. A dent is considered a serious container defect if the can body or end has been sharply distorted such that:.

The pronounced mechanical distortion of the metal container resulting in either significant reduction of the internal volume of the container or deformity of the can end or body, the double seam, or the side seam.

Dents may crease the metal plate which may adversely affect the internal coating causing susceptibility to corrosion. Dents may distort the double seam or side seam such that vacuum loss may occur. Lower limit of a serious body dent. Body dent is sharp and deep and the double seam has been pulled down below the level of the countersink depth of the can.

Upper limit of a minor body dent. Body dent is sharp and deep. Need to assess the inside coating for possible fractures, if the contents are considered as being a corrosive product which will react with the container, and the double seam has been distorted so that the dimensions are outside of the can maker's guidelines. The mechanical deformation of the double seam can rim of the container, caused by a sharp blow or excessive mechanical force to the double seam.

Double seam rim dents can adversely affect the integrity of the double seam resulting in a potential for post-process contamination. Any observable amount of oil, grease, glue or dirt which is present on the inside surface of can ends or can bodies. The complete penetration through the metal plate of the can body or end by a sharp object such that there is loss of hermeticity. A sharp linear stressing deformation of the metal plate such that either the metal plate is fractured has failed , or there is potential for failure due to corrosion or stress from normal handling.

The resolutions under this program can range from reimbursement for vehicle repairs to manufacturer buyback of the defective vehicle. Furthermore, if you have purchased a vehicle in the United States, or a vehicle that isn't designed for the Canadian market, then you aren't covered under CAMVAP, unless the manufacturer agrees to the arbitration process. Auto dealers may be selling used vehicles previously purchased in Canada or imported from other countries like the United States.

Whether the vehicle was originally purchased by the dealer in Canada or imported from elsewhere, consumers purchasing used vehicles from an auto dealer can check to see how they are protected by their province or territory's consumer protection laws. If you have unknowingly purchased a defective used vehicle from a Canadian auto dealer, contact your provincial or territorial consumer affairs office. If the problem you are having with your vehicle relates to an issue of misrepresentation at the point of sale, you can contact your provincial or territorial consumer affairs office for advice.

If you cannot resolve your complaint, consider fixing the vehicle at your own expense and using the Small Claims Court to recover the cost of repairs or to rescind the contract. At trial, the defendant then argues you are now getting something better than what you bargained for and that this constitutes an improvement to the property.

This is a legitimate argument and can lead to a reduction in damages. The general premise of this is that you failed to mitigate your damages.

An example would be if you were to notice a small leak in your basement and you just covered it up a week after purchasing the property. A month later your entire basement is flooded.

The seller will then have a legitimate argument that you failed to mitigate. You had the opportunity to fix this issue at a far lower cost and your own failure to mitigate enlarged the issue. This is the defence that is most unnerving for buyers who have bought a property with problems not disclosed in Canada. If the seller does not admit to knowing about the latent defect in some cases the question of damages will not even arise.

How far reaching can you go in asserting a latent defect in Ontario? This can of worms was opened in Dennis v. Gray , ONSC In this case the vendor knew that the purchaser had small children that were moving into the house. The vendor also knew that the person across the street was convicted of a child pornography offence.

A motion to dismiss was brought unsuccessfully by the vendors. Judge Hoy made the determination that it was not plain and obvious that this did not constitute a latent defect that required disclosure. The question you are probably wondering is how this could possibly be a latent defect given the definition of latent defect. We must look back to the landmark decision of McGrath v. Unfortunately, this case never made it to trial, but it has seemingly opened the door to novel claims of latent defects.

It is not common for them to be found liable though. In a latent defect case, they will seldomly have liability. This typically occurs where the seller has hired a contractor to fix a latent defect and they failed to do so. The purchaser then sues the vendor and the vendor sues the contractor.

They may also be named in a cross claim in cases such as where a buyer purchases and quickly flips the home and then is sued by the seller in relation to the latent defect. The original buyer may then crossclaim against the developer.

This would occur when you bring a lawsuit against the vendor and the vendor transfers title in their other property into the name of another person or business.
