How does NanoFlashing reach the United Kingdom?
C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™ questions, with the company’s answers and the sources they come from.
Last reviewed: .
All questionsWhat written HSE position, if any, addresses the exact product proposed for Great Britain?
The company sets out its position under two bodies of law only, and neither of them is the law of Great Britain.
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 agency has approved, registered 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.

Does the intended UK use fall within HSE's remit or another product regulator's remit?
In Great Britain, regulation 9(1) of the Biocidal Products and Chemicals (Appointment of Authorities and Enforcement) Regulations 2013, SI 2013/1506, states that, subject to its other paragraphs, “the enforcing authority for regulations 12 and 13(2) of these Regulations and the Biocides Regulation is the Health and Safety Executive or the Office of Rail and Road, determined in accordance with the provisions of the 2006 Regulations.”

Does the UK importer have access to the composition information needed for its own obligations?
The property the company publishes for the media is a charge, not a substance. NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request.
What a party must hold to meet its own duty in its own market is decided under the rules that apply to that party, and a registration or a number held by someone else is not that party's record.
The company does not publish the composition of the media. A materials review that needs more than the company's published pages is arranged in writing, through [email protected] on the Contact page.

Can a GB importer use an EU REACH registration number as evidence that its own UK substance obligations have been met?
The property the company publishes for the media is a charge, not a substance. NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The Statement of Regulatory Status records at 3.4 that the Regulation takes the meaning of “substance”, “mixture” and “article” from Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, and it states: “The filter is supplied as a finished article within that meaning. It is not a substance and it is not a mixture.” The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request.

Would a proposed medical use need review through the MHRA route?
Regulation 2(1) of the Medical Devices Regulations 2002, SI 2002/618, as it applies in Great Britain, defines a medical device as “any instrument, apparatus, appliance, software, material or other article, whether used alone or in combination”, with its accessories, which “is intended by the manufacturer to be used for human beings for the purpose of”, among other things, “diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of disease”.
The company sets out its position under two bodies of law only, and neither of them is the law there. The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label states: “It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.” The Terms of Use state: “As of the Effective Date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications.

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.

All questionsWho supplies English-language instructions when the original manufacturer is overseas?
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.

Can a regional reseller describe correspondence with HSE as approval without checking its exact scope?
The company classifies its own article, and it sets out that classification under United States law and under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 only.
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. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller. No agency has approved, registered or cleared the filter, so no correspondence with an authority is an approval of it.

Does a change in the UK importer require updates to product identification and technical records?
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.

Are obligations for legacy stock assessed using its actual date of supply rather than a general Brexit statement?
For electrical equipment, regulation 62A(2) of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, SI 2016/1101, provides, subject to paragraph (3), that “where a product was made available on the market during the pre-exit period”, an obligation under those Regulations as they had effect immediately before IP completion day “continues to have effect as it did immediately before IP completion day, in relation to that product.”
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 agency has approved, registered 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.
