What did a product award actually assess: design, commercial potential or measured performance?
An award, a prize or a conference talk is not a measured result, and the company does not offer one as evidence.
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.” What an award assessed is set by whoever gave it, and a sales award given to a reseller is about that reseller's trade, not about a measurement of a product.
Each numbered report the company relies on is named with its institution and number. The Validation page names each report and certificate in its tested and certified list by institution and number, and the peer-reviewed publication behind the technology is Gong, Or, Sze et al., Microbiology Spectrum 12(9), e0409723, American Society for Microbiology, September 2024, doi 10.1128/spectrum.04097-23. An institution's name is not a result; the test, the article and the standard are. The paper reports laboratory results on SARS-CoV-2 in contact with treated textile, on aerosolised bovine coronavirus passed through a test filter in a wind tunnel, and on bacterial viability on treated textiles; each result belongs to the article that was tested.
