What evidence applies to the actual installed system rather than a material sample?
The company's evidence is evidence about NanoFlashing™ filter media and about the filters and sites named with it; evidence about an installed system in a particular building comes from that system's own commissioning and measurement.
The Terms of Use state: “A test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. Construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result.” They also state: “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.” The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states: “Results in a building depend on the system, the airflow, and how well the filter fits its track.” The nearest published measurements of installed systems are on the Validation page, which reports two identical towers compared at a public hospital in Vancouver, and before-and-after air handling unit measurements at a financial landmark in London, a major international airport in the US and a public university in Melbourne, each over a stated period. At each site the Validation page reports bioaerosols, and at three of them particulates, independently measured with MicronView's 405 nm Bio-fluorescent Air Monitoring System. Each is one building over one period, and it is not a result for another building.
