Can a vehicle filter handle heat soak while parked in direct sun?

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter sets where the filter is used: forced-air heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems in homes, businesses and institutions that take a panel filter of the stated size and run at or below the rated airflow and maximum face velocity.

The conditions listed on the Validation page include after 60C for 64 days; a parked vehicle is not among them, and the company does not carry a result across to a condition a test did not cover. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” They also state: “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.”
