All questions in this library

What exact product specification and acceptance evidence will accompany an order?

The specification and the acceptance evidence come from the manufacturing partner that makes the product, because this site sells no products.

C-POLAR markets a materials technology, and every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. Size, model, revision, variant and the markets a product is offered in are set by the maker of that product. The Terms of Use state: “Do not use Site Content to select, design, manufacture, validate, or make claims for a finished product.” A product enquiry goes to the maker named on the product, or to [email protected]. The manufacturing and distribution partners the company names on its About and Air pages are Aero Pro, AQ Filter, BGE Indoor Air Quality Solutions, Olympic International and VOLZ Filters, and the two products it names are INHALO™ and ReinFire™. The Terms of Use also name two online stores, shop.cpolartechnologies.com and shopusa.cpolartechnologies.com; those two stores are C-POLAR's own, and a price shown there and every purchase from them are governed only by the terms presented there. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

All questions

What evidence supports each mandatory requirement in the proposed public contract?

Each requirement is matched to a named test on the Validation page, or found not to be covered by one.

The Terms of Use state that a reported result describes only what the identified test found, and that a test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. They also state: “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.” 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.

All questions

Can acceptance be checked against the same specification that supports the advertised claim?

Acceptance is checked against the record that carries the statement, named with its institution and the article tested, and with its number and its standard where the record carries them.

A reported result describes only what the identified test found. A test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. Construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result. The Statement of Classification records that it addresses the classification question only, and that it states no efficacy data, and the Statement of Regulatory Status makes the same point for Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

Can bidders offer a functionally equivalent product without using the NanoFlashing name?

Whether a tender accepts a functionally equivalent product is decided by the buyer, and a bidder may not use the NanoFlashing™ name without written permission.

The Terms of Use state that nothing on the Site authorizes anyone to manufacture, integrate, market, resell, or describe a product as C-POLAR-enabled, that nothing authorizes anyone to describe itself as a C-POLAR partner, and that written permission is required. They also state that a C-POLAR name, logo, trademark, or product name may not be used without written permission, and that no one may state or imply that C-POLAR has endorsed, licensed, partnered with, or verified a person, an organization or a product when it has not. What a particular joint programme may publish is written into the agreement that governs it.

All questions

Can the supplier provide a compliant bid without disclosing protected composition publicly?

A bid can be built on the published property and the named records without disclosing the composition, which the company does not publish; whether a bid is compliant is decided by the buyer's requirements.

NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request.

A materials review that needs more than the company's published pages is arranged in writing, through [email protected] on the Contact page.

All questions

Can a procurement team compare bidders using a common service-life assumption?

The replacement point is printed on the product, and the company publishes no service life.

The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label directs replacement when the pressure drop reaches the value printed on the product, or at the interval printed on it, whichever comes first, and directs that the system not be run with no filter in the track. It also directs that the filter not be washed, vacuumed, brushed, blown out or reused. A filter left in service past that point is outside the instructions it was supplied with.

All questions

Can a supplier challenge an incorrect interpretation of its test report before award?

A supplier can correct a reading of its own record by naming the article, the standard and the conditions that record covers.

The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” They also state: “A test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. Construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result.” and “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.”

What can be checked on any filter is the charge. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request. A published result belongs to the article that was tested, under the conditions named in the report that recorded it.

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. The label carries the product name, the panel filter description, the net contents, the nominal size, the net weight, the rated airflow, the maximum face velocity, and the producer’s name and address. A finished product is bought from a manufacturing partner or from a separate online store, and the terms of that purchase are that seller's. The Terms of Use name two such stores, shop.cpolartechnologies.com and shopusa.cpolartechnologies.com; those two stores are C-POLAR's own. The manufacturing and distribution partners the company names on its About and Air pages are Aero Pro, AQ Filter, BGE Indoor Air Quality Solutions, Olympic International and VOLZ Filters, and the two products it names are INHALO™ and ReinFire™. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

All questions

Would a framework agreement allow different products to be selected for different buildings?

How a framework is structured is decided by the buyer.

How a tender is written, weighted, scored, documented and awarded is decided by the buyer under the rules that bind it, and the company does not advise on it.

All questions

Can the procurement team verify that promised capacity is allocated rather than merely available in theory?

An allocation is a term of the agreement that sets it, and the company publishes no capacity.

C-POLAR markets a materials technology. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. The manufacturing and distribution partners the company names on its About and Air pages are Aero Pro, AQ Filter, BGE Indoor Air Quality Solutions, Olympic International and VOLZ Filters, and the two products it names are INHALO™ and ReinFire™. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller. The Terms of Use state: “Accessing the Site or contacting C-POLAR through the Site does not create a partnership, agency, joint venture, distribution right, supply commitment, license, exclusive right, or other business relationship.” The Terms of Use state that where they conflict with a Separate Agreement, that document controls. Continuity of supply is a matter for the agreement between the parties to it, and C-POLAR publishes no continuity plan.

All questions

Does the supplier's bid contain qualifications hidden in an attached quotation?

This site quotes no price, so a qualification in a quotation comes from the party that issued it.

The published Terms of Use state: “The Site is informational only. It does not sell products, accept orders, quote binding prices, or process payments.” They also state: “Unless a Separate Agreement expressly says otherwise, C-POLAR is not the manufacturer or seller of a finished product merely because that product uses or refers to C-POLAR technology.” C-POLAR does not publish the terms of its supply or distribution agreements, and this site publishes no price, no price list, no discount, no charge and no payment term. A price and the terms attached to it come from the manufacturing partner or the seller that makes the offer, and a purchase from a separate online store is governed only by the terms presented there. The Terms of Use name two such stores, shop.cpolartechnologies.com and shopusa.cpolartechnologies.com; those two stores are C-POLAR's own. The manufacturing and distribution partners the company names on its About and Air pages are Aero Pro, AQ Filter, BGE Indoor Air Quality Solutions, Olympic International and VOLZ Filters, and the two products it names are INHALO™ and ReinFire™. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

All questions

Do you provide a submittal package or spec sheet I can put into a bid or project specification?

The company publishes no submittal package or spec sheet on this site, and its Terms of Use state that Site Content is not a product specification.

The Terms of Use state: “Site Content is not a product specification, design file, manufacturing instruction, validation report, certificate, patent license, technology license, or permission to make a product claim.” They also state: “The manufacturer and seller of a finished product are responsible for its design, manufacture, labeling, instructions, claims, sale, and warranty, except for a responsibility C-POLAR expressly accepts in a Separate Agreement.” What the site publishes for the air filter is the list of test records on the Validation page, including LMS Technologies, Report 9904; LMS Technologies, Report 6847; Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011; the Intertek Building & Construction fire reports; and the RST Rail System Testing reports. The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label gives the directions for use, operating conditions, storage and disposal. A request for project documents can be sent to [email protected].
