China and the mainland market

Would the proposed Chinese claim place the finished product in a disinfection-product category?

The company's position is the same in every market: the filter acts by physical means, and it incorporates nothing that acts on organisms in any other way.

A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The filter is intended to destroy the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores it captures. It destroys them on direct contact with the positive electric charge, by physical means, and only while the organism is captured by the positive electric charge. C-POLAR has published no classification or certificate for China. How a finished product is classified in a national market is decided by that market's authority and by the party that files for it. General enquiries go to [email protected].

Would an imported NMPA dossier need to identify a foreign registration holder separately from the Chinese agent?

What an NMPA dossier must identify is set by that authority's rules, and the dossier for a finished product is prepared by the party that files it.

C-POLAR supplies a materials technology. The published position is that every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. The published Terms of Use state: “The manufacturer and seller of a finished product are responsible for its design, manufacture, labeling, instructions, claims, sale, and warranty, except for a responsibility C-POLAR expressly accepts in a Separate Agreement.” They also state: “Unless a Separate Agreement expressly says otherwise, C-POLAR is not the manufacturer or seller of a finished product merely because that product uses or refers to C-POLAR technology.” C-POLAR has published no classification or certificate for China. A locally converted material and an imported finished product are different articles, and a change of material or of maker produces a different article. The published 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.” The published position is that development runs configuration by configuration, and each partner controls what is said about the work.

Can a Chinese-language translation of destroy imply a stronger regulated function than the source text?

The company's sentence carries its condition and its mechanism with it: “When a captured pollutant has a fragile structure, NanoFlashing™ destroys it on contact through a physical mechanism.”

A translation that leaves out the condition or the mechanism does not state the company's position. The published Terms of Use state: “Nothing on the Site authorizes anyone to manufacture, integrate, market, resell, or describe a product as C-POLAR-enabled. Nothing authorizes anyone to describe itself as a C-POLAR partner. Written permission is required.” General enquiries go to [email protected].

Can a foreign laboratory report be used directly for the specific Chinese submission under consideration?

Whether a foreign laboratory report can be used for a particular Chinese submission is decided by the authority that receives it.
