Foreword

Sub-article 4.2 of this Standard is compulsory; the other articles are voluntary. This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009. This Standard replaces GB 21521-2008, Minimum Allowable Values of Energy Efficiency and Energy Efficiency Grades for Copy Machines, and GB 25956-2010, Minimum Allowable Values of Energy Efficiency and Energy Grade for Printers and Fax Machines. Compared with GB 21521 and GB 25956-2010, the major changes are as follows. -- it changes the application scope of the standards; -- it improves the indexes and requirements for all energy efficiency grades of products; -- it deletes “target minimum allowable values of energy efficiency” in GB 21521- 2008, 3.4; -- it modifies the power factors of additional functions in the former GB 21521-2008, Table 5; -- it lists in Annex C and Annex D the calculation methods of the former GB 21521- 2008, 4.2 and GB 25956-2010, 5.2. This Standard was jointly proposed by the National Development and Reform Commission Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection Department and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Energy Saving and Comprehensive Utilization Department. This Standard shall be under the jurisdiction of the National Standardization Technical Committee on Energy Base and Management (SAC/TC 20). The drafting organizations of this Standard.

The previous editions of the standard replaced by this Standard are as follows. -- GB 21521-2008; -- GB 25956-2010. Minimum Allowable Values of Energy Efficiency and Energy Efficiency Grades for Copy Machines, Printers and Fax Machines

1 Application Scope

This Standard specifies the energy efficiency grades, minimum allowable values of energy efficiency, energy conservation evaluating values, methods for test and calculation, inspection rules of general-purpose copy machines, printers, fax machines, multifunction devices (hereinafter referred to as products). This Standard applies to products of standard size, which operates under the power supply of the power grid of 220 V, 50 Hz. This Standard does not apply to the following products. a) products only powered by data interfaces (such as USB, IEEE 1394 interface); b) products having digital front-end (DFE); c) products having an output speed greater than or equal to 70 pages/min; d) dot matrix printers having printing needles more than 48.

2 Normative References

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition dated applies to this document. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced documents (including all amendments) applies to this Standard. GB/T 16685-2008, Information Technology – Office Equipment – Printing Devices Method for Measuring Throughput – Class 1 and Class 2 Printers GB/T 22372-2008, Test Chart for Laser Printer ISO/IEC 28360.2012, Information Technology – Office Equipment- Determination of Chemical Emission Rates from Electronic Equipment

3 Terms and Definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 multifunction device; MFD a product having two or more functions, including printing, scanning, copying or faxing. NOTE The simple copying function of fax is not one of multiple functions. 3.2 off mode the “turned-off” mode of the power switch when a product is connected to the power grid. 3.3 active mode the mode of a product which is connected to the power supply to output or execute other major functions. 3.4 ready mode the mode in which the energy consumption is lower than the energy consumption in the active mode after a product is connected to the power supply or finishes working. No noticeable delay time exists in a product when it goes from the ready mode to the active mode. 3.5 sleep mode the mode of low energy consumption into which a product gets automatically without turning off the power after stopping working for a certain time. 3.6 auto-off mode the mode of low energy consumption into which a product gets automatically after finishing major working functions. 3.7 standby mode the mode of the lowest power after a product is connected to the power grid.

4 Technical Requirements
