Criterion text
The imaging equipment must meet the requirements regarding noise levels in operating mode, described in Blue Angel (the German Ecolabel), Office Equipment with Printing Function DE-UZ 205 (2017), section 3.5.
The stated A-weighted sound power level, LWAd, must be tested according to ISO 7779. The sound power level shall not exceed the limit value according to the following formula:
LWA,lim = 47 + 15 * lg ( SM/F + 10) dB
SM = page throughput in monochrome mode
SF = page throughput in colour mode
The stated A-weighted sound power level, LWAd, is calculated as follows:
LWAd =LWA1 + 3.0 dB
The supplier shall, upon request, be able to present a verification, for example one of the following:
- Provide a test report according to Blue Angel (the German Ecolabel) Office Equipment with printing function DE-UZ 205 (2017), section 3.5.
- Ecolabelling according to the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for Imaging equipment, version 6.0 or later.
- Ecolabelling, according to Blue Angel, (the German Ecolabel), Office Equipment with Printing Function, DE-UZ 205 (2017). Note that products labelled with Blue Angel also needs to have an extended license valid for the Swedish company placing the product on the market, in accordance with the rules of Blue Angel.
- The Eco Declaration, ECMA 370 or similar documentation.
- Request a test report, demonstrating that the requirement above is fulfilled.
- Check that a valid ecolabel certificate is at hand, demonstrating that the product is approved according to the Nordic Ecolabelling’s criteria for office equipment, version 6 or later.
- Check the existence of a valid ecolabel certificate, demonstrating that the product is approved according to Blue Angel, (the German Ecolabel), Office Equipment with Printing Function DE-UZ 205 (2017). Note that products labelled with Blue Angel also needs to have an extended license valid for the Swedish company placing the product on the market, in accordance with the rules of Blue Angel.
- Check that the stated values in the Eco Declaration meet the limit values in the requirement.
