Does a safety assessment cover accidental damage as well as intact use?
The company publishes no assessment of a damaged article, and the label directs: “Do not install a filter whose media is torn, crushed, wet or visibly damaged.”
The Terms of Use 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.” They also state: “A prospective partner or manufacturer must perform its own testing, validation, compatibility work, safety review, risk review, and quality controls for its proposed product and use,” 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.
The studies the company names are Product Safety Labs, Study 65321, Study 65322, Study 65323 and Study 65324, each completed in 2024 and each run on a sponsor-supplied sample. What a complete appliance gives off is a matter for the maker of that appliance, and C-POLAR publishes no assessment of one. A copy may be made available on our review of the request.
