Are the establishment identifiers shown on products sold in this state traceable to the actual producing sites?

The company sets out its classification under federal law, and a state record is the responsibility of the party that places the product on that state’s market.

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 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(b) a device is not required to be registered under FIFRA section 3, and the requirements that apply instead are labelling; establishment registration and reporting; books and records; inspection of establishments; violations, enforcement and penalties; import and export; child-resistant packaging; and the Agency’s authority under FIFRA section 25(c)(4). An EPA establishment number identifies the place where an article was produced, and it identifies nothing else; under 40 C.F.R. §§ 167.3 and 167.20(c) it is held by the party that operates the establishment. What a state requires of a product sold within it, of the party that sells it and of the records that party keeps is decided by that state, under its own law, with the party that places the product on that market. The label prints 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.
