Does a copied percentage retain the original target, endpoint and qualifier wherever it appears?
A copied figure keeps its target, endpoint and qualifier only when they are copied with it, and the record is what holds them.
What the company states about a named test is the institution, the report number where the report carries one, the date, the standard where the report names one, the article tested and the result, with what that result does not establish. For example, Guangdong Detection Center of Microbiology, Report 2020FM20686R01E, 13 August 2020, tested a nonwoven filter medium against influenza A virus (H3N2) under ISO 18184:2014. For that nonwoven filter medium the report records a logarithm of antiviral activity of 4.34 under ISO 18184:2014; ISO 18184 measures virus recovered from treated textile against an untreated control, and it is a contact test on the medium, not an airborne or in-use result. The Viruses page shows airborne virus at 1.3 m/s airflow, NanoFlashing™ beside a control, and states: “NanoFlashing™ captures the virus, and destroys it.” The Mold page shows airborne mold spores at 1.6 m/s airflow, NanoFlashing™ beside a control, and states: “NanoFlashing™ captures the mold, and destroys it.” The Mold page also states that researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, in a study with funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, tested NanoFlashing™ with more than 100 million live, dry spores driven in by fast-moving air. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” 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.
