Can a domestic reseller use a translated foreign certificate without implying a Chinese certificate?
A certificate states what the named body certified, for the article it names, and a translation of it does not make it a certificate of another country.
The certificates named on the Validation page are OEKO-TEX Service GmbH, Certificate 17.0.25812, and Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011. 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.” They add: “A citation, quotation, name, logo, link, or third-party test does not by itself mean that the third party sponsors, endorses, certifies, or approves C-POLAR, a C-POLAR product, a Site claim, or a proposed use.” Both numbers can be checked at source: certificate 17.0.25812 in OEKO-TEX’s public label check, and Certificate No. 15.06.011 in the Eurovent Certita Certification certified product directory. Certificate No. 15.06.011 covers a ten-pocket bag filter, not a flat panel filter; a rating belongs to the construction that was tested. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
