28.12.2013 Official Journal of the European Union L 353/53 COMMISSION DECISION of 17 December 2013 establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the EU Ecolabel for imaging equipment (notified under document C(2013) 9097) (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/806/EU) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the EU Ecolabel ('), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof, After consulting the European Union Eco-labelling Board, Whereas: (1) Under Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, the EU Ecolabel may be awarded to products which have a reduced environ- mental impact during their entire life cycle. (2)  Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 provides that specific EU Ecolabel criteria are to be established according to product groups. (3)  The criteria aim, in particular, at promoting products that have a reduced environmental impact along their life cycle, which are resource efficient including energy effi- cient, and which contain a limited amount of hazardous substances. Since the main environmental impacts of imaging equipment along the life cycle are related to the use of paper, energy consumption and the use of hazardous substances, the products with improved performance on these aspects should be promoted. It is therefore appropriate to establish EU Ecolabel criteria for the product group ‘imaging equipment. (4)  The EU Ecolabel criteria will complement the ecodesign requirements for imaging equipment to be placed on the EU market that are laid down in a self-regulation measure concluded by the industry under Directive 2009/125EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy- related products (?). The self-regulation measure was () O] L 27, 30.1.2010, p. 1.

(5)  The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee estab- lished by Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 1. The product group ‘imaging equipment’ shall comprise products which are marketed for office or domestic use, or both, and produce printed images, in the form of paper document or photo, through a marking process from one or both of the following: (a) a digital image, provided by a network or card interface; (b) a hardcopy through a copying process. Imaging equipment which have the additional function to produce a digital image from a hard copy through a scanning process are included in the scope of this Decision. This Decision shall apply to products which are marketed as printers, copiers and multifunctional devices. 2. Fax machines, digital duplicators, mailing machines and scanners are excluded from the scope of this Decision. 3. Large products which are not typically used in household and office equipment shall also be excluded from the scope of this Decision where they meet one of the following technical specifications: (a) standard black and white format products with maximum speed over 66 A4 images per minute; (b) standard colour format products with maximum speed over 51 A4 images per minute; () COM(2013) 23 final.
