Appendix 1 Product Design Check List
■Intention of Product Design Checklist
Equipment must be easily recyclable. The “Product Design Checklist” includes indices for improving ease of recycling by reference to the Blue Angel RAL-UZ171 in Germany. The indices are based on the following design concepts:
[Structural Design and Joining Techniques]
・ Non-use of any joint (e.g. glued or welded) that does not allow release of the joint between different materials unless it is technically required
・ Use of easily detachable mechanical joints in equipment
・ Easy disassembly of equipment which can be carried out by hand or by machine
[Material Selection]
・ Casing parts: In order to limit the variety of materials, individual plastic casing parts (>25g) have to consist of one single polymer or a polymer blend. All plastic parts used in the plastic casings shall consist of up to four separable polymers or polymer blends.
・ Large-sized plastic casing parts must be designed in a way that the contained plastics can be reused for the production of high-quality durable products by applying available re-cycling techniques.
・ The use of coatings for parts is to be reduced to a minimum. If applied, an appropriate reason for this use is to be given. Galvanic coatings are not permissible.
・ Devices shall use, or shall be permitted to use, recycled plastics.
[Utilization of used equipment]
・ Parts and materials that may contain any hazardous materials shall be easily identifiable or removable (e.g., modules for colourants, mercury lamp for backlighting of liquid crystal displays, and liquid crystal display panels).
・ Operators shall gather information on reutilization of parts used in equipment and take advantage of it in product designing (e.g., information on a disassembly method, reuse of parts, and recycling).
[Module for colourant/container for colourant]
For modules for colourants that the applicant includes as original supplies or use of which the applicant recommends for each of equipment in product documentation as well as containers for colourants such as toners, inks, gels, waxes, etc., the “Product Design Checklist” includes the indices that enable them to be reused or utilized as materials. The indices are based on the following design concept:
・ Equipment that does not allow reuse of a module for colourant must not be attached to the module.
■Items
1) Equipment must be configured to be suitable for recycling, and must satisfy all Must (M) items of the requirements in the following groups. In addition, it is desirable to satisfy the Should (S) items, although they are not requirements for certification.
A: Design and Joining Technique
B: Selection and Marking of Materials
C: Longevity
D: Resource Saving
2) Each requirement applies to specific assemblies listed in the column “Target”: Casing, mechanical parts, electronic assemblies, modules for colourants, or containers for colourants
3) Terminology
|Casing parts |Parts comprising external covers that protect equipment from environmental influences and that prevents users|
| |from contacting moving, light-emitting or high-voltage components. |
|Chassis |Parts with functions serving as a frame to support the main parts of machines. |
|Assembly |Unit composed of at least two components linked by power or design. |
|Electric/electronic assemblies|Assemblies (parts) which include at least one electric or electronic component. |
|and parts | |
|Colourant |Mixture in which dyes, pigments and other additives are dissolved or dispersed in a carrier material such as |
| |a polymer matrix (e.g. for toners), liquids (e.g. for inks), gels or waxes (e.g. for solid inks). |
|Module for Colourant |A complex module (of a printer, copier or a fax)which in addition to a container for colourants can include |
| |other components for transferring the colourant onto the print media (e.g. toner container, photoconductor, |
| |charging unit, cleaning unit and toner cartridge having waste toner container or ink print head with nozzle |
| |system and one or more integrated ink tanks). |
|Container for Colourant |Containers for storing colourants such as toners (e.g. toner bottles) etc. |
|Recycling |In this checklist, the term refers to utilization as materials for used (plastic) parts. |
|Mechanical parts |Parts not contained in an electric/electronic assembly with either mechanical or optical function (except for|
| |casing and chassis). |
|Reused parts |Parts that have previously been used, and reused. |
4) Category classification

| | | | | |brightness (e.g. grey and anthracite). In |
| | | | | |addition, if different types of plastic |
| | | | | |materials have different colours, this |
| | | | | |"colour code" facilitates reliable |
| | | | | |type-specific sorting of the plastic |
| | | | | |materials. This requirement does not apply to|
| | | | | |control elements on the equipment. |

| |been limited to a minimum? |colourants | |(No |material, vapor-deposited layer, and print. |
| | | | | |Galvanic coatings are not permissible. |
| | | | | |Large-area coating layer, vapour-deposited |
| | | | | |layer and print on plastic parts require |
| | | | | |additional treatment for removal if the |
| | | | | |materials are to be recycled subsequently. |
| | | | | |Reasons must be given for coatings of special|
| | | | | |parts. Laser markings are not considered as |
| | | | | |prints referred to herein. This requirement |
| | | | | |does not apply to demonstrably reused parts. |
| | | | | |It is considered, however, that the product |
| | | | | |conforms to this item if the coating |
| | | | | |materials that do not prevent recycling are |
| | | | | |used, or coating works are conducted with |
| | | | | |consideration for occupational safety and |
| | | | | |health of coating workers and reduction of |
| | | | | |environmental burden. |
| | | | | |“Coating materials that do not prevent |
| | | | | |recycling” refers to the coating materials |
| | | | | |that have compatibility with materials of |
| | | | | |parts to be coated, and do not prevent |
| | | | | |high-level material recycling (horizontal |
| | | | | |recycling for in-house products). |
| | | | | |’Considerations for occupational safety and |
| | | | | |health of coating workers‘ means that a |
| | | | | |coating workshop is ventilated/vented and |
| | | | | |workers wear protective gear. ‘Considerations|
| | | | | |for reduction of environmental burden’ |
| | | | | |includes the measures to control VOC emission|
| | | | | |into the air, such as the removal equipment, |
| | | | | |the devices in coating process, or |
| | | | | |replacement by low-VOC coating materials. |

| | | | | |plastic components are appropriate. (This |
| | | | | |does not require all available components.) |
| | | | | |A closed cycle is realized only if the |
| | | | | |manufacturer has already used recycled |
| | | | | |materials, or if they announce the commitment|
| | | | | |to do so in the product specifications. |

| | | | | |themselves, and not plastic parts that |

| | | | | |recycled pellets does not matter. In other |
| | | | | |words, the recycled plastic does not have to |
| | | | | |be recycled pellets obtained from parts in |
| | | | | |used printers or copiers; it may include |
| | | | | |recycled plastic from other product families |
