The Blue Angel eco-label is one of the most famous environmental labels in the world. Awarded by the German Institute for Quality Assurance and Certification, the label signifies that a product has exceptional ecological credentials and meets the detailed criteria of a comprehensive body of legislation set by the Federal Office for the Environment.
The objective of the “Blue Angel” eco label is to keep the impact of harmful substances, energy consumption and waste on the environment to a minimum. It should also serve as an aid for consumers to enable them to choose particularly environmentally friendly products.
To ensure even greater protection of the environment, new criteria have been in place for the issue of the "Blue Angel" label since January 2007. The tightened requirements passed by the German Federal Environment Agency in collaboration with the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing specifically concern new procedures for measuring chemical emissions, more stringent regulations governing energy consumption and the evaluation of noise emissions from colour printers amongst others.
The award of the “Blue Angel” eco-label has a long-standing tradition at KYOCERA. In 1997, Kyocera was the first printer manufacturer to be awarded the label for FS-1700. Since that time, many additional Kyocera printer generations have been awarded the label. E.g. the Kyocera FS-2000D, FS-3900D, FS-4000DN and FS-6950DN.
