Clear claims,
market by market.
Notice on functional claims.
The functions on this site are described as they are marketed in Japan. This page explains how to read them if you are outside Japan.
Section 01
What GranovaQ is
GranovaQ is a functional material (graphene quantum dots) for cosmetics, textiles, nonwovens, bedding and household goods. GranovaQ and the products that carry the GranovaQ Inside mark are not drugs, medical devices or medical treatments in any country.
Nothing on this site claims to treat, cure, prevent or reduce the risk of any disease.
Section 02
Functions are described as marketed in Japan
The five functions shown on this site — antibacterial and odor-resistant, antiviral, anti-mite, anti-mold and far-infrared emission — are the functions under which the material is marketed in Japan, in line with Japanese rules for textiles and household goods.
They describe the material itself (for example, the fiber or fabric). They are not claims that any product protects people from bacteria, viruses or disease.
The performance of a finished product depends on the application, the formulation, the loading rate and how it is used. We do not guarantee the same result in every product or environment.
Section 03
Markets outside Japan
Japanese labeling and test results do not give permission to make the same claims in other countries. What may be said about a product sold outside Japan depends on that country’s rules — for example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules on treated articles, and the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) and Medical Device Regulation (MDR).
We do not make antibacterial, antiviral or health claims for markets outside Japan. If you plan to sell in a specific country, please contact us and we will review the wording with you, market by market.
Section 04
Test data
As on our Japanese site, we do not publish test reports, test figures or the names of testing bodies. The data that supports each function is kept by J.C. Technology and can be discussed with business partners under appropriate terms. A test report is a test result; it is not a certification or a license.
Section 05
The GranovaQ Inside mark
The GranovaQ Inside logo and Spec Stamp may be used only on products of brands that have been approved under the Inside Program, and only within the terms of the license agreement. Using them on products that do not meet the program criteria is a breach of that agreement.
Section 06
Language and links
This English site is provided for convenience. Where it differs from the Japanese site, the Japanese site prevails. Some links lead to pages that are available only in Japanese. We are not responsible for the content of external websites linked from this site.
Section 07
Intellectual property
The text, images, logos and code on this site belong to J.C. Technology Co., Ltd., the operator of GranovaQ Inside, or to their respective owners. Do not copy, reproduce or modify them without permission.
