How are permanent-polarity statements reconciled with filter-rating conditioning results without treating different measurements as interchangeable?

The Validation page states: “Industry standards ASHRAE 52.2 Appendix J and ISO 16890 test electrostatic filters after their temporary charge is removed, showing how they perform without it. NanoFlashing™ maintains MERV 15A performance under ASHRAE testing, while Eurovent certifies the same filter at ISO ePM1 70%, with an A class energy rating.”

The Validation page names LMS Technologies, Report 6847, and Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011, and a rating belongs to the construction that was tested. NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The two measurements answer two different questions and are not interchangeable.

These answers are C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in them has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers they cite, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents these answers cite, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
