Would Taiwan's environmental or health authorities assess the proposed antimicrobial use?

Taiwan's Environmental Agents Control Act, as amended on 7 December 2016, names its competent authority in Article 2 and defines environmental agents in Article 5.

Article 2 states: “‘Competent authority’ as referred to in this Act means the Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan, at the central government level, the municipal government in special municipalities and the county or city government in counties or cities.” Article 5 states: “‘Environmental agents’ means the following types of chemical agents or microbial preparations used for environmental sanitation and pollution control”. The company does not say how that Act applies to any product. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The company sets out its position under two bodies of law only, and neither of them is the law there.

Under United States law, NF Technical Products Inc. classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a). Under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, C-POLAR Technologies, Inc. classifies the same filter as neither a biocidal product nor a treated article. Each statement records that it addresses that one question only. No authority has approved, registered, endorsed or cleared the filter; the company classifies its own article.

What an authority requires of a product placed on its market is decided under its own rules, by the party that places it there. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format.

Would the proposed TFDA submission treat the product as a new medical device or a change to an existing registered device?

Taiwan's Medical Devices Act, announced on 15 January 2020, states in Article 26: “Alteration may only be made to any of the particulars of registration and market approval or listing pertaining to any medical device designated by the central competent authority after approval of the central competent authority is obtained.”

The company does not say whether any submission would be treated as a new device or as a change. The company sets out its position under two bodies of law only, and neither of them is the law there.

Could a household appliance incorporating the material require BSMI-related assessment?

Taiwan's Commodity Inspection Act, as amended on 11 July 2007, states in Article 3: “The following commodities shall be inspected in accordance with this Act, provided that the categories, items, and/or shipping destinations of such commodities have been designated and made known to the public by the BSMI per public notice:”

Its list includes “Agricultural, industrial, and mining commodities to be imported.” The company does not say whether any appliance is on a list the BSMI has published. The company sets out its position under two bodies of law only, and neither of them is the law there.

Can a Taiwan-facing claim rely on a mainland China document without a separate local basis?

Wording for a product in a market is agreed in writing, and nothing on this site authorises a claim anywhere.

The Terms of Use 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.” They also state: “Do not use Site Content to select, design, manufacture, validate, or make claims for a finished product,” and: “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.” The About page states that development runs configuration by configuration, and that each partner controls what is said about the work.

A document issued for one market records what its issuer assessed, for the article named in it, and the substantiation a claim needs is decided under the rules of the market where the claim is made. Enquiries go to [email protected].

Does a Traditional Chinese label preserve the intended technical distinction between capture and destruction?

The company uses two verbs for two things: on the NanoFlashing page, “the positive polarity of NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction”, and “When a captured pollutant has a fragile structure, NanoFlashing™ destroys it on contact through a physical mechanism.”

A translation that leaves out the mechanism does not state the company's position. The published Terms of Use 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.” General enquiries go to [email protected].

Would Taiwanese food-contact rules require composition evidence beyond a foreign safety sheet?

Taiwan's Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation, as amended on 12 June 2019, states in Article 17: “Foods, food cleansers, food utensils, food containers, or packaging offered for sale shall comply with sanitation, safety, and quality standards prescribed by the central competent authority.”

Article 26 requires food utensils, food containers or packaging designated by the central competent authority to show, among other matters, the “name of materials and thermal resistance temperature; in the case of a mixture of two or more materials, the name of each material shall be indicated separately”. The company does not say what evidence those rules would ask of any product. The Terms of Use state: “As of the Effective Date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications. They do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses.” The company sets out its position under two bodies of law only, and neither of them is the law there.

Under United States law, NF Technical Products Inc. classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a).

Can the Taiwan importer verify that the supplied product matches the local filing's manufacturer identity?

The identity of the party that made a product is printed on that product, and it is checked there.

The company's own label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter carries the product name, the panel filter description, a company name and address, the net contents, the nominal size, the net weight, the rated airflow and the maximum face velocity. The manufacturer and seller of a finished product are responsible for its design, manufacture, labeling, instructions, claims, sale, and warranty.

Does a Taiwan retail listing clearly identify the entity handling local consumer complaints?

A listing's complaint contact is set by the seller that makes the listing, and the company publishes no Taiwan listing.

A claim made for a finished product belongs to the party that made it, and the company answers for its own published text.

When wording changes, the page at the same address carries the new text, and a copy held in a cache or an archive is not the company's current wording. 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. The Terms of Use 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 Terms of Use state that the Site may quote, summarize, name, or link to research, publications, people, institutions, products, and websites that C-POLAR does not control, and that this does not mean that C-POLAR endorses every statement in the third-party source. A correction to a statement made by another party is made by that party. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

Would an environmental-agent classification in Taiwan alter how samples may be promoted?

Taiwan's Environmental Agents Control Act, as amended on 7 December 2016, states in Article 32: “Those enterprises that do not hold an environmental agent permit or environmental agent vendor or pest control operator license may not advertise environmental agents.”

The company does not say whether that Act applies to any product or sample. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The company sets out its position under two bodies of law only, and neither of them is the law there.

Under United States law, NF Technical Products Inc. classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a).

Can a Taiwan hospital evaluate a research sample without implying permission for routine clinical use?

Medical is a research application on this site, and no finished medical product is available from C-POLAR for that use.

The Terms of Use state that, as of their effective date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications, and that they do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses. They also state: “A test of a material, component, sample, or prototype does not establish the safety, efficacy, suitability, durability, compatibility, manufacturability, scalability, or performance of a finished product,” and: “Do not use Site Content to diagnose, treat, or make a patient-care or infection-control decision.” The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states that the filter is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

A sample evaluated by an institution is evaluated on terms agreed between that institution and the party that supplies it, and nothing on this site permits a routine use. Enquiries go to [email protected].

Would Hong Kong trade-description enforcement address an unsubstantiated germ-killing label separately from health-product classification?

Section 7(1) of Hong Kong's Trade Descriptions Ordinance, Cap. 362, makes it an offence for any person who, “in the course of any trade or business”, “applies a false trade description to any goods” or “supplies or offers to supply any goods to which a false trade description is applied”.

Regulation 6(1) of the Fire Service (Installations and Equipment) Regulations, Cap. 95B, states: “No fire service installation or equipment shall be installed in any premises by any person other than a registered contractor.” The company does not say how either rule applies to an installation.

Does transit through Hong Kong differ from placing the product on the Hong Kong market?

Section 2 of Hong Kong's Import and Export Ordinance, Cap. 60, defines an “article in transit” as an article which “is brought into Hong Kong solely for the purpose of taking it out of Hong Kong” and which “remains at all times in or on the vessel or aircraft in or on which it is brought into Hong Kong”.

Can a Hong Kong procurement team distinguish a local test report from a local product approval?

A test report records what one test found.

It is not an approval, and no authority has approved the filter.

The Terms of Use state: “A citation, quotation, name, logo, link, or third-party test does not by itself mean that the third party sponsors, endorses, certifies, or approves C-POLAR, a C-POLAR product, a Site claim, or a proposed use.” They also state that no one may “State or imply that C-POLAR has approved, endorsed, licensed, partnered with, or verified you, your organization, or your product, when it has not.” The Validation page names each report and certificate in its tested and certified list by institution and number, so a report can be identified and checked with its issuer. An institution's name is not a result; the test, the article and the standard are.

No authority has approved, registered, endorsed or cleared the filter. The company classifies its own article, and it sets out that classification under United States law and under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 only.

Who can supply Traditional Chinese and English safety information for the Hong Kong product?

The label and the safety information that travel with a finished product are the responsibility of the party that makes and sells it.

C-POLAR markets a materials technology, and 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. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. The company's own label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter is in English, and it carries the directions for use, the operating conditions, the storage and disposal instructions and the cautions in one place.

What language a label must be in, and what it must carry, is decided under the rules of the market where the product is sold, by the party that places it there.

Would sale into Macau require a separate assessment from the Hong Kong distribution arrangement?

The company publishes no position for Macau.

The company sets out its position under two bodies of law only, and neither of them is the law there.

Under United States law, NF Technical Products Inc. classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a). Under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, C-POLAR Technologies, Inc. classifies the same filter as neither a biocidal product nor a treated article. Each statement records that it addresses that one question only. No authority has approved, registered, endorsed or cleared the filter; the company classifies its own article.

What an authority requires of a product placed on its market is decided under its own rules, by the party that places it there. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format.

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
