Who assesses electrical safety when the material is sold inside a powered appliance?
The filter draws no power, and the electrical and product-safety duties of a powered appliance sit with the party that makes and sells that appliance.
Passive describes the filter, not the system around it. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. A complete air cleaner still has to move air: INHALO™, the wall-mounted air cleaner named on the Air page, is built around a NanoFlashing™ Air Filter and runs continuously at breathing height. 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 Terms of Use 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.” A reporting duty that attaches to a consumer product attaches to the party that makes or sells it. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
