Product Criteria Paper

 Germany – Blue Angel

Prticularly energy-efficient and climate-friendly products are awarded by the well-

known German Eco-label The Blue Angel

. For its new label for coffee machines the

Blue Angel has overtaken the energetical criteria developped by Topten.eu (see

chapter 4). The Blue Angel label “Espresso Machines /Coffee machines with high

pressure – RAL-UZ 136” covers espresso/coffee machines using a pump pressure of

at least 8 bars (brew an “Italian-style” coffee) for private household use

. These are

Fully automatic coffee machines, Single-serve coffee machines for pads (automatic

pad coffee machines) and Portafilter espresso/coffee machines.

Overall, the goal for establishing the label is to encourage manufacturers to enable

coffee machines to:

 Feature a low power consumption

 Be durable goods

 Avoid the use of environmentally damaging substances

The criteria for the label are divided into four sections:

 Power consumption – the appliance should have an auto-off function

with factory-set delay of less than 1 hour for automatic coffee machines

and 30 minutes for pod types, stand-by power consumption shall not

exceed 1.0 W, off mode power consumption shall not exceed 0.3 W; the

energy consumption in “ready-to-use” mode until automatic switch off

shall not exceed 35 Wh for fully automatic machines and portafilter

machines and 30 Wh for pod coffee makers (these values base on the

measurements according to the Topten/S.A.F.E. measuring method).

 Longevity – all repair and service parts shall be guaranted in continous

production for at least 10 years after end of production;

 Material requirements – no carcinogenic, reprotoxic, mutagenic,

persistent, bio-accumulative, or toxic materials shall be used in the

construction of the product. Parts in contact with water or milk shall be in

accordance with the German Food code, and shall avoid the release or

leeching of toxic materials (maximum 2 mg Pb / litre H

O and 50 mg Ni /

litre H

O brewed);
