What is Nordic Ecolabelled imaging
equipment?
Nordic Ecolabelled imaging equipment products (copiers, digital duplicators, facsimile
machines, multifunction devices (MFD), printers, scanners) are amongst the least
environmental harmful products in their category, since they meet a number ofenvironmental requirements.
The environmental problems associated with imaging equipment derive mainly from power
consumption during use and from disposal of the products as waste. Furthermore they
represent a source of pollution in the working environment through the generation of heat,emissions to air and noise.
The requirements that the appliances must fulfil before a Nordic Ecolabel can be granted,
focus on the following aspects:
•
•
•
•
•
•

low energy consumption
plastic materials and additives, e.g. flame retardants
duplex printing and consumables during usage
recycling of discharged products
emissions of pollutants (also noise) in working areas
packaging materialInternational cooperation
In version 6 of the criteria, the harmonization ambition between different recognizedinternational ecolabelling schemes continued with the Blue Angel. This was because Eco
Mark did not during the revision to version 6 have any new criteria since the revision toversion 5, while the Blue Angel had a draft for new criteria. Also the EU Ecolabel criteria
for imaging equipment had a draft which has partly been harmonized with.

Why choose the Nordic Ecolabel?
• The manufacturer may use the Nordic Ecolabel trademark, the Swan, for marketing.
The Nordic Ecolabel is a very well-known and well-reputed trademark in theNordic region.
• The Nordic Ecolabel is a cost-effective and simple way of communicating
environmental work and commitment to customers and suppliers.
• Reducing environmental impact often creates scope for lowering costs, such as by
cutting the consumption of energy and reducing amounts of packaging and waste.
• Environmentally suitable operations prepare imaging equipment for futureenvironmental legislation.
• Environmental issues are complex. It can take a long time and extensive resources
to gain an understanding of a specific area. Nordic Ecolabelling can be seen as aid inthis work.
• The Nordic Ecolabel not only covers environmental issues but also quality requirements, since the environment and quality often go hand in hand. This means that a
Nordic Ecolabel licence can also be seen as a mark of quality.

What can carry the Nordic Ecolabel?
Copiers, digital duplicators, facsimile machines, multifunction devices (MFD), printers andscanners are eligible for a Nordic Ecolabel. The machines may be equipped with external orinternal scanners. In this document we collect all of these products under the name imaging
equipment.
The criteria do not apply to computer equipment, for which separate criteria apply.
CopierA commercially-available imaging product whose sole function is the production of hard
copy duplicates from graphic hard copy originals. The unit must be capable of being
powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection. This definition isintended to cover products that are marketed as copiers or upgradeable digital copiers(UDCs).
Digital duplicator
A commercially-available imaging product that is sold in the market as a fully-automatedduplicator system through the method of stencil duplicating with digital reproduction
functionality. The unit must be capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a dataor network connection. This definition is intended to cover products that are marketed asdigital duplicators.
Facsimile machine (Fax machine)
A commercially-available imaging product whose primary functions are scanning hard copy
originals for electronic transmission to remote units and receiving similar electronictransmissions to produce hard copy output. Electronic transmission is primarily over a
public telephone system, but also may be via computer network or the Internet. The
product also may be capable of producing hard copy duplicates. The unit must be capableof being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection. This definition
is intended to cover products that are marketed as fax machines.
Multifunction device (MFD)
A commercially-available imaging product, which is a physically-integrated device or a
combination of functionally-integrated components, that performs two or more of the corefunctions of copying, printing, scanning, or faxing. The copy functionality as addressed inthis definition is considered to be distinct from single sheet convenience copying offered by
fax machines. The unit must be capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a dataor network connection. This definition is intended to cover products that are marketed as
MFDs or multifunction products (MFPs).
Note: If the MFD is not a single integrated unit but a set of functionally integrated components, then the manufacturer mustcertify that when installed correctly in the field, the sum of all energy or power use for all MFD components comprising the baseunit will achieve the energy or power levels to qualify as an Energy Star MFD.

Printer
A commercially-available imaging product that serves as a hard copy output device, and iscapable of receiving information from single-user or networked computers, or other input
devices (e.g., digital cameras). The unit must be capable of being powered from a wall outlet
or from a data or network connection. This definition is intended to cover products that aremarketed as printers, including printers that can be upgraded into MFDs in the field.

Scanner
A commercially-available imaging product that functions as an electro-optical device forconverting information into electronic images that can be stored, edited, converted, ortransmitted, primarily in a personal computing environment. The unit must be capable ofbeing powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection. This definition isintended to cover products that are marketed as scanners.
Extra equipment
The above products also include various consumer durables, such as OPC (Optical
Photosensitive Conductor) kits, drums, toner powder and residual toner cartridges.
If extra equipment shall use the Nordic Ecolabel they must be listed in a valid licence andthe extra equipment must belong to the ecolabelled imaging equipment.
If extra equipment such as desks, sorters, feeder and units for double-sided printing are to
be included, the individual parts must meet the requirements as to design, materials,
chemical requirements during production, requirements as to packaging and requirements
as to recycling

Harmonization with Blue Angel and Eco
Mark

Most product requirements are fully harmonised with Blue Angel and Eco Mark. Somerequirements are not harmonised and are found only in version 6 of the Nordic Ecolabel
criteria document. These include both product and administrative requirement and specificfor the Nordic organisation of the company that applies for a license.
If a product is approved under the Blue Angel or Eco Mark criteria (RAL-UZ 171/ProductCategory No. 155, or later versions) it is easier to apply for a Nordic Ecolabel licence. Suchapplicants may use appendix 2 that describe the additional documentation needed for a
Nordic Ecolabel licence.
If the product does not have Blue Angel or Eco Mark license, the product must fulfil therequirements in sections 2, 3, 4 and 5.
In this document, Nordic Ecolabelling has changed the layout of the requirements from theoriginal documents Blue Angel criteria (RAL-UZ 171/Product Category No. 155, or later
versions). In case of any conflict the original always takes precedence.

Appendix 3 Noise requirements formulas fromRAL-UZ 171 and EU Ecolabel
criteria for imaging equipment
Requirements suggested in the RAL-UZ 171 for Noise.
Guide Values:
The declared A-weighted sound-power level LWAd must not exceed 75 dB for BlueAngel labeled devices. In addition, the declared A-weighted sound-power level LWAd must
not exceed the following guide values LWAd,lim,mo or LWAd,lim,co in the respective print mode:
The guide value LWAd,lim,mo for monochrome printing is to be determined in dependence ofthe operating speed Smo stated with one decimal place according to the following formula:
LWAd,lim,mo = (59 + 0.35 * Smo) dB
The guide value LWAd,lim,co for colour printing on parallel systems is to be determined in
dependence of the operating speed Sco in dB and stated with one decimal place according
to the following formula:
LWAd,lim,co = (61 + 0.30 * Sco) dB
For serial electrophotographic colour devices with Sco ≤ 0.5 Smo compliance with
LWAd,lim,mo in monochrome print mode is required. In this case, compliance with LWAd,lim,co
in colour mode is not mandatory.
Requirements suggested in the EU Ecolabel for Noise
The declared A-weighted sound power level LWAd of the product shall not exceed thefollowing limits while operating:a) For monochrome printing– the A-weighted sound power level limit value LWAd,lim,bw
shall be determined depending on the operating speed Sbw given with one decimal placeaccuracy according to the following formula:
LWAd,lim,bw = 37 + 20*log(Sbw+ 8) dB
LWAd,lim,bw = A-weighted sound power level limit for monochrome printouts given in dBb) For colour printing – the A-weighted sound power level limit value LWAd,lim,co shall be
determined depending on the operating speed Sco given with one decimal place accuracy
according to the following formula:
LWAd,lim,co = 38 + 20*log(Sco+ 8) dB
LWAd,lim,co = A-weighted sound power level limit in dB for colour printoutsc) In addition, for both monochrome and colour printing – the A-weighted sound power
level limit value LWAd,lim,co and LWAd,lim,co shall not exceed an upper limit of 75.0 dB:
LWAd,lim,bw < 75.0 dB
LWAd,lim,co < 75.0 dB
For serial electro photographic colour devices with Sco ≤ 0,5 Sbw the sound power level
shall be determined and indicated. For assessment purposes compliance with LWAd,lim,bw
for monochrome printouts with printing speed Sbw shall be considered exclusively.
