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.
