These Basic Criteria apply to solar collectors according to DIN EN 12975. Using solar plants for the generation of energy helps to save resources and avoid pollutant

These Basic Award Criteria apply to household cooker hoods with an inbuilt fan for either recirculation operation - or exhaust operation exhibiting a maximum air flow volume of 800 m3 /h at maximum continuous operation. Requirements include energy efficiency of the fan; energy-efficient lighting; and power consumption in off and stand-by mode.

These Basic Criteria apply to auto-off power strips or socket adapters (with and without surge protector).

These Basic Award Criteria apply to office devices (usually referred to as printers and/or multifunction devices) which at least:
• offer printing as their primary function,
• are capable of producing monochrome or colour printouts (4-colour-printing) on standard paper with a grammage of 60 to 80 g/m2,
• are capable of processing media or a minimum format of DIN A4 and up to a maximum format of DIN A3+, and
• work as electrophotographic devices (LED or laser technology) by using toners or as inkjet devices by using inks (or gels, or waxes).

These Basic Award Criteria apply to cordless phones and base stations according to the DECT standard or a similar standard. The devices shall be primarily designed for transmitting phone calls and messages. They may, however, also provide additional functions, such as answering machine, organizer, wireless Internet access or data transmission via infrared port or bluetooth, Class III. Excluded are cordless phones with WLAN function.

These Basic Award Criteria are valid for electric hand dryers (e.g. hot air hand dryers, high speed hand dryers).

These Basic Criteria apply to lamps typically used for household lighting which fulfil the following prerequisites: They • are directly powered from the mains (230 V, 50 Hz) and therefore need no external ballast, power supply pack or the like; • are suitable for indoor use; • have a total luminous flux Ф of 60 ≤ Ф ≤ 6500 lumens (lm) and • are free from mercury. Excluded from the scope are: • lamps where: at least 6 percent of the total radiation between 250 and 780 nm fall in the range of 250 to 400 nm, the radiation peak is between 315 and -400 nm (UVA) or between 280 and 315 nm (UVB); • lamps that allow shifting the chromaticity coordinates to outside the white area; • double-ended lamps.

Within the scope of these Basic Award Criteria, a data center is defined as follows: A data center is capable of securely, permanently and centrally processing large amounts of data over a long period of time. In the process, the data center shall still possess these capabilities even when individual capabilities are not being used e.g. operation over a long period of time.

These Basic Criteria apply to the notebook computers as defined in paragraph 1.5 of the document. The following devices do not fall within the scope of these Basic Criteria: Mobile phones, smartphones, MDAs, PDAs and similar mobile devices.
