Can an importer rely on a laboratory report that is not available in a language acceptable to the authority?

The company has not published a rule on the language in which a laboratory report is supplied.

What it publishes is the record itself: the Validation page names the institutions that tested the pathogens, and it names the air-filter and safety records by institution and number, among them LMS Technologies, Report LMS#9904, 28 April 2025, on a 24 × 24 × 2 in. pleated air filter; Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011; and Product Safety Labs, Study 65321. Certificate No. 15.06.011 is on a ten-pocket bag filter, not on a flat panel filter, and a rating belongs to the construction that was tested and to the conditions in the report. Each report is the issuing laboratory’s document and is supplied as that laboratory issued it. A question about a particular product or market can be sent to [email protected] or +1 604 630 6830. Certificate No. 15.06.011 can be looked up at source in the Eurovent Certita Certification certified product directory.

All questions

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
