Would a Japanese food-packaging use require a positive-list assessment for the actual material?

Would a Japanese food-packaging use require a positive-list assessment for the actual material?

Food packaging is published as a Research Application, a food-contact assessment is made by the party that places the packaging on the market, and the company publishes no position under Japanese law.

The Terms of Use state that, as of their effective date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications, and that they do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses. They also state that a test of a material, component, sample, or prototype does not establish the safety, efficacy, suitability, durability, compatibility, manufacturability, scalability, or performance of a finished product. The article the company has written a label and a classification for is the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter.
