Scope

Copiers, digital duplicators, facsimile machines, multifunction devices (MFD), printers and scanners are eligible for a Nordic Ecolabel. The machines may be equipped with external or internal 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.

Copier
A 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 is intended 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-automated duplicator 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 data or network connection. This definition is intended to cover products that are marketed as digital 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 electronic transmissions 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 capable of 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 core functions of copying, printing, scanning, or faxing. The copy functionality as addressed in this 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 data or 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 must certify that when installed correctly in the field, the sum of all energy or power use for all MFD components comprising the base unit will achieve the energy or power levels provided in Section 3 to qualify as an Energy Star MFD.

Printer
A commercially-available imaging product that serves as a hard copy output device, and is capable 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 are marketed 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 for converting information into electronic images that can be stored, edited, converted, or transmitted, primarily in a personal computing environment. 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 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 and the 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.

Test Procedure

Test Procedure

RAL-UZ 122 Version June 2006

Associated Test Procedure

Emissions Emission rates must be measured in accordance with the requirements described in Blue Angel: RAL-UZ 122 Version June 2006 or EcoMark No. 117 “Copier version 2.2” or EcoMark No 122 “Printers Version 2.0”. Table with limited values of emission according to Blue Angel RAL-UZ 122 version June 2006. These limited values applies also to EcoMark No. 117 ”Copier version 2.2” or EcoMark No 122 ”Printers version 2.0”. ( The applicant must submit a report containing the results of the emission test according to the methods specified in RAL-UZ 122 version June 2006 (see Appendix 4) or EcoMark No. 117 “Copier version 2.2” or EcoMark No 122 “Printers version 2.0”. R22 Noise The declared A-weighted sound effect LWAd must not exceed the value determined in accordance with the following formula and additionally remain below a limited value: 7.5 (B). The formula of the limited value: Copiers: LWAd: 0.035 x CPM + 5.9 (B) Printers: LWAd: 0.035 x CPM + 5.9 (B) Fax and MFD: LWAd: 0.035 x CPM + 5.9 (B) The sound effect from the product must be measured in accordance with the method specified in ISO 7779 or RAL-UZ 122 and the A-weighted sound effect LWAd must be declared in accordance with ISO 9296 in force at the time of application. The requirement on sound effect of equipment with a CPM above 71 is exempted from the maximum limit of 7.5B, but the LWAd of these machines should be submitted for reference. For copiers using larger paper sizes (A2 and larger), the number of sheets copied may be counted on an A4 basis (by Energy Star). EM 4-1-3 & BA 3.5 ( The applicant must submit a report containing the results of the sound effect test according to the methods as specified in ISO 7779 or RAL-UZ 122 and declared in accordance with ISO 9296.

Additional Information

Nordic Ecolabelling adopted version 5 of the criteria for imaging equipment on 14 June 2007.

The Secretariat Managers Meeting and the Nordic Ecolabelling Board adopted changes and decided to prolong the validity of the criteria in various instances. The latest version (2012) is called 5.4 and it is valid until 30 June 2014.

Revised criteria will be published at least one year prior to the expiry of the present criteria. The license holder will then be offered the option of renewing the license.

In the harmonisation process, Nordic Ecolabelling will be an active player in developing new requirements together with both Eco Mark, Blue Angel and Energy Star:
  • Stricter environmental requirements for the Nordic organisation of the company that applies for a license, according to Section 4.
