Can a GB product assessment be used for goods supplied into Northern Ireland without additional review?

The company publishes no Great Britain product assessment, and for Northern Ireland HSE states that the EU Biocidal Products Regulation applies to biocidal products and treated articles made available there.

HSE’s page “Biocides regulation: Northern Ireland”, updated 28 November 2025, states: “If you wish to make biocidal products or treated articles available on the Northern Ireland (NI) market you must comply with the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (EU BPR).” That is Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the Regulation the company’s Statement of Regulatory Status addresses.

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.

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
