1 Items and Evaluation Criteria
Energy conservation
diagnosis Evaluation Criteria
A person with a technical qualification listed in Table 1, a person acknowledged to have skills equivalent to such qualification, or a
corporation that is the employer of such qualified person will investigate and analyze the operational status and energy utilization
of facilities such as air conditioning, lighting, heating, power substations, control systems, and plumbing facilities, in accordance
to the specific tasks of energy conservation diagnosis. Based on the results of such an investigation, such person or corporation will
introduce new equipment, or propose improvement to the facility or method of operation, including those listed in Table 2, in order to
improve energy conservation.

20-2. Printing 1
Items and Evaluation Criteria Printing
Evaluation Criteria 1
Common CriteriaPaper that conforms to the evaluation
criteria for printing paper refer to Paper section. Cover page of bounded material will be excluded and if virgin pulp is used
as the raw material, the pulpwood used is to be in compliance with the regulations concerning forestry in its country or
geographical area of origin. This does not apply to virgin pulp manufactured with lumber obtained from thinning, or virgin
pulp manufactured by using recycled wood pieces obtained from plywood or lumber factories, material left over from
forestry, or lumber with small diameter.
2 Material that will interfere with the recycle for paper indicated
in Table 1 Rank B, C and D are not used. When they must be used for the usage and purpose of the printed material, it is
necessary to note the part in which the material is used as well as method of discarding or recycling.
3 Recycle compliancy is indicated on the printed material.
4 At the each stage of work the printing, the measures for the
environmental consideration shown in Table 2 shall be taken.
Individual Criteria
1 Offset Printing a. Inks contain vegetable based oil and inks whose aromatic
compounds are less than 1 must be used. b. Chemical safety of inks is confirmed.
2 Digital Printing
a. As for xerographic Limited to dry toner method., the toner must be used that meets the evaluation criteria lies chemical
safety of the toner cartridge Refer to “Toner cartridge”.
b. As for xerographic Limited to wet toner method. and as for inkjet method, chemical safety of toner and inks is confirmed.
Factors for C onsideration
1 Considering the usage and the purpose of printed matter, it must
be lightened as much as possible. 2
Waste products are to be minimized through the promotion of digitization employment of DTP, CTP, and DDCP methods,
etc.. 3
Control of volatile organic material VOC is taken into consideration.
4 Materials and parts such as used ink can, containers of inks or
toners, and ink photosensitive drums use again or will be recycled.
5 Use of the material that may produce harmful material for
surface processing of cover page, etc. of printed matter, should
218 be limited as much as possible.
6 If virgin pulp is used as the raw material, the pulpwood used is
to be in compliance with the regulations concerning forestry in its country or geographical area of origin. This does not apply
to virgin pulp manufactured with lumber obtained from thinning, or virgin pulp manufactured by using recycled wood
pieces obtained from plywood or lumber factories, material left over from forestry, or lumber with small diameter.
7 Packaging and stowage is to be as simple as possible and take
into account ease of recycling and reduced environmental impact upon disposal.
Note: 1.
Printing under consideration in the evaluation criteria in this section denotes the
printing service for production of report documents, posters, flyers and pamphlets, it doesnt apply when purchasing it as other category items such as stationary. However,
if it is purchased as other category items, effort must be made to purchase which meet the evaluation criteria of printing section.
