OEM development and integration projects

Which claims, if any, can be carried from the material into our finished assembly?

A test of the material does not by itself establish the performance of a finished assembly that incorporates it, and a claim for a finished product needs written permission.

The Terms of Use state that a test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it, and that construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result. They also state: “Do not use Site Content to select, design, manufacture, validate, or make claims for a finished product.” They also state: “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.” They further state: “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.”

The Validation page names what was tested, the conditions and the institutions, and it gives report and certificate numbers for the air-filtration, certification and safety records, so a requirement can be matched to a named test or found not to be covered by one.

The Terms of Use state that a test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it, and that construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result.

The Validation page names what was tested, the conditions and the institutions, and it gives report and certificate numbers for the air-filtration, certification and safety records, so a requirement can be matched to a named test or found not to be covered by one. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” A report identifies the article that was tested; where an assembly differs from that article, the report does not reach it. Three of the numbered laboratory reports behind the pathogen claim, each naming the article it tested, are these. Guangdong Detection Center of Microbiology, Report 2020FM20686R01E, 13 August 2020, tested a nonwoven filter medium against influenza A virus (H3N2) under ISO 18184:2014. Textile Testing Institute – Brno (TZÚ), Test Report AZL 26/0757-02, 3 July 2026, a laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, tested a MERV 15A filter medium under ISO 20743 and ISO 18184. Instituto Valenciano de Microbiología, Report D/26/B0483, 6 August 2026, tested a VOLZ PROsyntex PLUS PM1 70 filter medium against Aspergillus brasiliensis and Aspergillus niger under ISO 13629-2:2014. 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 company states no amount of anything applied to anything, and it publishes no configuration drawing.

The Validation page names what was tested, the conditions and the institutions, and it gives report and certificate numbers for the air-filtration, certification and safety records, so a requirement can be matched to a named test or found not to be covered by one. The conditions listed there are heavy dust loaded, fast air flow, used filter for 1 year, after 60 washes, after 2 years of storage, and after 60C for 64 days, and the standards named for capture are ASHRAE 52.2 Appendix J and ISO 16890.
