Is a comparator's model still sold in the configuration used for the comparison?

The company's published comparison names the control as a conventional MERV-13 filter, and it names no competitor's model.

The published Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” The smoke and ultrafine-particle reports named on the Validation page are LMS Technologies, Report LMS#9904, 28 April 2025, a single-pass fractional efficiency test on a 24 × 24 × 2 in. pleated air filter in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct, in accordance with standard LMS aerosol test procedures, and Report 6847, ASHRAE 52.2 with Appendix J. LMS Technologies' Pine-Needle Smoke Report LMS#10471 of 20 October 2025 measured single-pass fractional efficiency in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct. Report 6847 is on a 24 × 24 × 30 in. pocket filter; a rating belongs to the construction that was tested.
