Can an OEM qualify a second supplier for the untreated support material?
The Terms of Use put the testing, validation, compatibility work, risk review and quality controls for a proposed product on the partner that proposes it.
The Terms of Use state: “A prospective partner or manufacturer must perform its own testing, validation, compatibility work, safety review, risk review, and quality controls for its proposed product and use.” What an OEM buys for the rest of its own product, and from whom, is the OEM's decision, and qualifying it is the OEM's work. 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 About page states that development runs configuration by configuration, and that each partner controls what is said about the work.
