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) or DE-UZ 219 (2021), section 3.51.
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
1Note that the calculation formula in DE-UZ 219 has been changed and made more stricter.
Verification
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) or DE-UZ 2019(2021), 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 19 (2021). 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 equivalent documentation.
Proposed follow-up
Test report
If the requirement has been verified with a test report, rRequest athe test report, demonstrating that the requirement above is fulfilled. Note that a report in accordance with Blue Angel DE-UZ 205 (217) can verify the requirement as well as the newer version DE-UZ 219 (2021).
Labelling
If the requirement has been verified with an ecolabel check for a valid ecolabelling license according to the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, or Blue Angel (the German Ecolabel).
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.
Eco declaration
If the requirement has been verified with an Eco declaration, in accordance with ECMA 370 or equivalent standard, check that the stated values in the Eco Declaration meet the limit values set in the requirement.
