Blue Angel
Nearly all our products comply with the requirements of the relevant Blue Angel award criteria. The Blue Angel recognizes products and services that fulfil established environmental criteria.
The Blue Angel at TA Triumph-Adler
The Blue Angel is an environmental label awarded to products and services based on defined award criteria. The criteria are specified for individual product groups and are regularly further developed. The development of the environmental label involves, among others, the Federal Ministry for the Environment and the German Environment Agency.
Selected printers and multifunctional systems (MFPs) from TA Triumph-Adler are awarded the Blue Angel. These devices fulfil the requirements of the label relevant to their product group. These include, among other things, criteria for energy consumption, emissions, noise levels, and further product features.
For each awarded device, compliance with the relevant Blue Angel requirements is demonstrated, as stipulated by the label. For these devices, proof of compliance with emission requirements is based on the use of TA Triumph-Adler original toner.

Energy Consumption
The energy consumption of the awarded devices is determined using the measurement methodology specified for certification. The ENERGY STAR measurement method is used to identify typical electricity consumption.
Device usage also influences actual power consumption. The integrated timer functions allow users to set times for the device to automatically switch to energy-saving modes. Outside of regular use, completely switching off the device—for example, at the end of the workday or over weekends—can further reduce electricity consumption.
Service Life
The Blue Angel award criteria for printers and multifunction devices also include requirements aimed at long service life.
The corresponding TA Triumph-Adler devices are designed for long-term use. This includes, for example, the patented ceramic drum technology.
A long service life can help delay the need for replacement. Under suitable conditions, this can also reduce the need to manufacture new devices.

Emissions and Noise Levels
For devices awarded the Blue Angel, relevant emissions are measured in accordance with the specified award criteria. Measurements are carried out according to prescribed methods by an accredited testing institute.
For tested products, measured values for ozone, dust, and styrene emissions are below the applicable limits. For some products, these limits are significantly undercut. The specific measurement results are documented in the respective environmental data sheets.
Noise levels are also considered in the evaluation of the devices. The devices feature stand-by or sleep modes, reducing noise output during standby and rest periods.
The measured noise levels for each device type and other relevant values can be found in the corresponding product and environmental data sheets.
