Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states
C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™ questions, with the company’s answers and the sources they come from.
Last reviewed: .
All questions in this libraryWhich Saudi authority would assess the proposed medical, food-contact or general air-filter use?
The company has not published a position for Saudi Arabia.
It sets out its own classification for two jurisdictions in two statements. For the United States, the Statement of Classification concludes at 3.7 that the company classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a). For the European Union, the Statement of Regulatory Status concludes at 3.7 that the company classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as neither a biocidal product nor a treated article.

Would an SFDA-related product record cover the exact Saudi claim and finished configuration?
The company publishes no Saudi product record, and no authority has approved, registered or endorsed the filter.
For the European Union, the Statement of Regulatory Status states that no authorisation, approval, notification or registration under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 is required and that no prior decision of any authority is required; it covers the European Union only. The company classifies the filter itself. In the United States, a device is not required to be registered under FIFRA section 3, and the company classifies the article itself. The requirements that apply instead are labelling; establishment registration and reporting; books and records; inspection of establishments; violations, enforcement and penalties; import and export; child-resistant packaging; and the Agency's authority under FIFRA section 25(c)(4). A record for a finished product in a national market is held by the party that places it on that market. Development runs configuration by configuration, and each partner controls what is said about the work.

Could a Saudi conformity platform requirement apply separately from a health-product assessment?
Requirements for placing a finished product on a market are met by the manufacturer and seller of that product.
C-POLAR markets a materials technology. 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. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. The company sets out its classification for two jurisdictions in two statements. For the United States, the Statement of Classification concludes at 3.7 that the company classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a).

Does an Arabic claim preserve limitations that appear in the English technical report?
A claim in any language has to match the report behind it.
A reported result describes only what the identified test found. Each numbered report the company cites is named with its institution and number, so the wording can be read against the source. Development runs configuration by configuration, and each partner controls what is said about the work.

All questionsCan a Saudi importer change the local product name without updating relevant records?
NanoFlashing™ is the company’s name for the technology, and a local product name is the maker’s.
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. For the air filter, the label carries the product name and the producer’s name and address. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

Can a UAE medical-product applicant transfer its technical dossier to a new local representative without the outgoing agent's cooperation?
The company publishes no guidance on transferring a medical-product dossier in the United Arab Emirates.
As of the Effective Date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications. They do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. For the air filter, the label states: “It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.” A question about a particular product or market can be sent to [email protected] or +1 604 630 6830.

All questionsCan a Gulf-wide distributor appoint local responsible parties in each destination country?
A distributor’s arrangements are its own, and a distributor’s document does not bind C-POLAR.
A warranty, manual, statement, order confirmation, or other document issued only by a manufacturer, seller, distributor, or other third party does not bind C-POLAR. Accessing the Site or contacting C-POLAR through the Site does not create a partnership, agency, joint venture, distribution right, supply commitment, license, exclusive right, or other business relationship. 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.

Would a Qatar public tender require evidence beyond a regional distributor's certificate?
What a tender requires is set by the buyer; what the company can supply is its own record.
The company holds the Statement of Classification and the label for the air filter, the Statement of Regulatory Status for the European Union, and the reports and certificates named on the Validation page. Each certificate and report is named with the body that issued it, and with its number where it carries one, among them Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011, and Intertek Building & Construction, Report 105169484SAT-001. A warranty, manual, statement, order confirmation, or other document issued only by a manufacturer, seller, distributor, or other third party does not bind C-POLAR. 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. 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.

Would treated packaging imported into Bahrain be assessed as packaging material or as part of the imported food?
The company has not published a food-contact assessment or a position for Bahrain.
The Food packaging chapter states that NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. When a captured pollutant has a fragile structure, NanoFlashing™ destroys it on contact through a physical mechanism. As of the Effective Date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications. They do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses. A question about a particular product or market can be sent to [email protected] or +1 604 630 6830.

All questionsCan a regional certificate be checked for its actual issuing body and territorial scope?
Yes.
Each certificate and numbered report the company cites is named with the body that issued it and its number. Among them are OEKO-TEX Service GmbH, Certificate 17.0.25812; Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011; and Intertek Building & Construction, Report 105169484SAT-001.

Would an Arabic product name imply disinfection or sterilisation beyond the supported claim?
The company makes no disinfection and no sterilisation claim, in any language.
What it states is the mechanism. 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. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. 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. Development runs configuration by configuration, and each partner controls what is said about the work.

Does a regionally supplied product's warranty provide service in the customer's actual country?
A warranty for a finished product is the seller’s.
The Terms of Use state that they do not govern the sale, delivery, installation, return, warranty, or use of a finished product. Only an express written warranty that identifies C-POLAR as the warrantor creates a C-POLAR warranty. A warranty, manual, statement, order confirmation, or other document issued only by a manufacturer, seller, distributor, or other third party does not bind C-POLAR. 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. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
