EU chemicals and substance regimes

Does the EU assessment identify whether the supplied item is treated as a substance, mixture or article for each relevant regime?

The company's European statement identifies the filter as a finished article for Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 only, and it covers no other regime.

The company's European position is set out in one statement under one regulation, and it goes no further.

The Statement of Regulatory Status for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter, dated 11 September 2026, records how the company applies Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 to the filter, and states that it addresses that question only. It states at 3.4 that the filter is supplied as a finished article, that it is not a substance and it is not a mixture, and that the Regulation takes the meaning of “substance”, “mixture” and “article” from Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. It states at 3.5 that the filter has not been treated with a biocidal product and does not incorporate one, and at 3.7 that the company classifies it as neither a biocidal product nor a treated article.

The company sets out no assessment under any other European regime; it sets out its position under United States law and under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, and under no other country's law. A duty that falls on an importer, a distributor or a downstream user of a finished product sits with that party.

Is any intentionally released substance involved in the intended EU use?

Nothing is intentionally released, and the two statements say so in their own words.

Both state: “In use, the ventilation system's own fan moves air through the filter. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. It generates no ozone and emits nothing into the air passing through it. The air leaving the filter has had nothing added to it.” A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances.

The Statement of Regulatory Status states at 3.3 that the filter incorporates no substance to act on harmful organisms, and that it contains no active substance.

Are substance identities consistent between technical files and supplier safety documents?

The company does not publish the composition of the media; the property it publishes is a charge, not a substance.

NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request.
