2、Services Canada. CGSB is engaged in the production of voluntary standards in a wide range of subject areas through the media of standards committees and the consensus process. The standards committees are composed of representatives of relevant interests including producers, consumers and other user
3、s, retailers, governments, educational institutions, technical, professional and trade societies, and research and testing organizations. Any given standard is developed on the consensus of views expressed by such representatives. CGSB has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada as a nati
4、onal standards-development organization. The standards that it develops and offers as National Standards of Canada conform to the criteria and procedures established for this purpose by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to standards it publishes as national standards, CGSB produces standa
5、rds to meet particular needs, in response to requests from a variety of sources in both the public and private sectors. Both CGSB standards and CGSB national standards are developed in conformance with the policies described in the CGSB Policy Manual for the Development and Review of Standards. CGSB
6、 standards are subject to review and revision to ensure that they keep abreast of technological progress. Suggestions for their improvement, which are always welcome, should be brought to the notice of the standards committees concerned. Changes to standards are issued either as separate amendment s
7、heets or in new editions of standards. An up-to-date listing of CGSB standards, including details on latest issues and amendments, and ordering instructions, is found in the CGSB Catalogue, which is published annually and is available without charge upon request. More information is available about

Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. The testin

This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate author
10、ities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use. CGSB neither assumes nor accepts any responsibility for any injury or damage that may occur during or as the result of tests, wherever performed. Attention is d

13、a coalition of independent, autonomous organizations working towards the further development and improvement of voluntary standardization in the national interest. The principal objects of the SCC are to foster and promote voluntary standardization as a means of advancing the national economy, benef
14、iting the health, safety and welfare of the public, assisting and protecting the consumer, facilitating domestic and international trade, and furthering international cooperation in the field of standards. A National Standard of Canada (NSC) is a standard prepared or reviewed by an accredited Standa
15、rds Development Organization (SDO) and approved by the SCC according to the requirements of CAN-P-2. Approval does not refer to the technical content of the standard; this remains the continuing responsibility of the SDO. A NSC reflects a consensus of a number of capable individuals whose collective
16、 interests provide, to the greatest practicable extent, a balance of representation of general interests, producers, regulators, users (including consumers), and others with relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject in hand. It normally is a standard, which is capable of making a sign
17、ificant and timely contribution to the national interest. Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use NSCs. These standards are subject to periodic review. Users of NSCs are cautioned to obtain the latest edition from the SDO, which publishes the standard. The responsibility for a

29、l rights reservedIntroductionRemanufactured Toner Cartridges are toner cartridges that have been refurbished for reuse. They are office supplies for laser print devices. The industry for remanufactured toner cartridges was developed as a result of a desire by Canadians to purchase more environmental
30、ly preferable products for use in the office while considering costs compared to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) toner cartridges.Historically, a perception existed amongst consumers that remanufactured toner cartridges were inferior to OEM toner cartridges in terms of quality, cost and lifeti
31、me performance. This standard is written to present testing criteria for setting equal or better quality requirements and to specify requirements for warranty information and packaging instructions that a remanufactured toner cartridge shall meet. This standard supports the national economy by provi
32、ding clear and measurable attributes specifically for remanufactured toner cartridge products. The standard protects consumers by specifying the requirements for cartridge warranties and quality expectations. It is the foundation for a national conformity program, thereby facilitating trade. Further
33、more, the standard supports green procurement initiatives and sustainable development by reusing otherwise discarded toner cartridge components in the production of remanufactured toner cartridges. The fundamental goal of this standard is to ensure that a spent toner cartridge (the casing and other
34、components) is reused as much as possible in the new remanufactured product, and that the end product is not merely a composite of new components. The integrity of the remanufacturing process, i.e. to ensure a robust, quality end product, is also integral to the standard.CAN/CGSB-53.148-20111CGSB 20
35、11 All rights reservedRemanufactured toner cartridgesScope1 This National Standard of Canada specifies the manufacturing, performance and labelling requirements for remanufactured toner cartridges for monochrome laser print devices, including but not limited to printers, multi-function devices, copi
36、ers and facsimile (fax) machines.Note: Some cartridges, because of their original OEM design and construction, may be more suitable than others for remanufacturing. Moreover, the life of the drum depends on the roughness of the paper used, the amount of continuous use (causing overheating), the leng
37、th of time the printer is left switched on, and the quantity of graphics (as distinct from text) printed. Consequently, no definite statement can be made about the number of times a cartridge can be remanufactured.The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of m
38、aterials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunctio
39、n with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.Normative references2 The following documents contain provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this National Standard of Canada.
