12、te: The number “20 001” is an error in the German version of this standard. It should correctly read “20 000”. DIN 33870-1:2013-12 4 Foreword This standard has been prepared by Working Committee NA 043-01-28 AA Brogerte of the Normenausschuss Informationstechnik und Anwendungen (NIA) (Information Te
13、chnology and Selected IT Applications Standards Committee). It defines requirements and tests for the remanufacturing of original toner cartridges and is intended to act as a basis for a generally applicable evaluation of these cartridges. At the same time, environmental and sustainability aspects a
14、re also taken into consideration. The digital test templates (PDF files) and specimen form C for evaluating the tests are attached to the standard on CD-ROM. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. DIN (and/or DKE) shall n
15、ot be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. DIN 33870 Requirements and tests for the remanufacturing of refilled toner cartridges for electrophotographical printers, copiers and facsimile machines consists of the following parts: Part 1: Monochrome; with CD-ROM Part 2: 4-Co
16、lour-printers; with CD-ROM (in preparation) Amendments This standard differs from DIN 33870:2001-01 as follows: a) the scope of test procedures has been restricted; b) information on the remanufacturing process and minimum information on the documentation have been added; c) ISO/IEC 19752 has been t
17、aken into account; d) the scope of the test has been extended; e) further test templates have been added. Previous editions DIN 33870: 2001-01 DIN 33870-1:2013-12 5 1 Scope This standard applies solely to remanufactured toner cartridges with monochromatic toner which are used in office machines with
18、 printing functions (monochromatic printers). The test procedures described in this standard apply to monochromatic toner cartridges for use in monochromatic electrophotographic printers which were first placed on the market after 31 December 2012. The date of issue of the EU conformity declaration
19、is used for the date of first marketing. Thus, DIN 33870-1 is to be applied for toner cartridges used in printers which were first placed on the market after the date mentioned above. For monochromatic toner cartridges used exclusively in printers which were first placed on the market before 31 Dece
20、mber 2012, the test methods described in DIN 33870:2001-01 remain in effect. The marketer of the remanufactured toner cartridges shall include a copy of the EU conformity declaration of the printer in the test documentation and be able to indicate the source of the EU conformity declaration if he wi
21、shes to apply the test procedures according to DIN 33870:2001-01. In matters relating to marking, health, safety, and the remanufacturing process, DIN 33870-1 is also applicable for these toner cartridges. This standard specifies the properties and functions after remanufacture as well as the tests
22、to be carried out for proving the image describing quality aspects of toner cartridges. The aim of this standard is to specify minimum requirements for consistent printing quality and malfunction-free operation across the entire period of use of the toner cartridges. NOTE The scope has been restrict
23、ed in order to ensure that, even after publication of this standard, toner cartridges for older printers which are no longer obtainable in sufficient numbers for the tests can still be marked appropriately. Therefore, the restriction applies only to the test procedures. For remanufactured toner cart
24、ridges with coloured toner which are used in colour printers, DIN 33870-2 applies. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
