Criterion information

The use of remanufactured toner cartridges decreases the environmental impact compared to manufacturing of new toner cartridges.

Criterion text

The supplier shall be able to offer (OEM, Original Equipment Manufacturer) remanufactured/reused toner cartridges during the contract period and describe which models they are compatible with.

Remanufactured toner cartridges in the contract must meet any of the following standards for printing quality.

DIN Technical Report No. 155:2007-09¹
ASTM F:2036 for monochrome printing²
DIN 33870-1 for monochrome printing³
DIN 33870-2 for colour printing⁴
