Which country and date are necessary before addressing the user's approval question?

The company classifies its own article, and no authority has issued an approval for it.

In the United States the company classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a). A device is not required to be registered under FIFRA section 3. Instead, 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(b) applies to it the requirements of labelling, establishment registration and reporting, books and records, inspection of establishments, violations, enforcement and penalties, import and export, child-resistant packaging, and the Agency's authority under FIFRA section 25(c)(4). In the European Union the company classifies the same article as neither a biocidal product nor a treated article under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, in a statement dated 11 September 2026, and no authorisation, approval, notification or registration under that Regulation is required.
