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

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). 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.
