Development of a Test Method for an Investigation into Limiting the Emissions from Printers and Copiers within the Framework of Assigning the Environmental Label | Umweltbundesamt

The emission behaviour with regard to dust, ozone and ⁠VOC⁠ (TVOC) of nine different hardcopy devices in combination with suitable air sampling and analysis procedures was investigated in different emission test chambers (two different 1 m³ - chambers and one 20 m³ - chamber). Air sampling and analysis for VOC were done by means of Tenax TA and subsequent thermal desorption (TDS) in connection with GC / MS.
