Would a Hong Kong building installation need electrical or fire-compliance review independent of the material claim?

Would a Hong Kong building installation need electrical or fire-compliance review independent of the material claim?

In Hong Kong, regulation 19(1) of the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations, Cap. 406E, states: “A fixed electrical installation shall, after completion (including any work completed after repair, alteration or addition) and before it is energised for use, be inspected, tested and certified by a registered electrical worker to confirm that the requirements of the Ordinance have been met.”

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. 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.
