Results and Impact

At least 40 models of printers were verified and tested by EEPLIANT2014. Results for individual models were shared among the surveillance authorities across the EU, and legal action was taken concerning the non-compliant models. As the imaging equipment product category is covered by a voluntary agreement, results were also shared within the respective industry association representatives and members.
