# Commission Decision of 20 April 2009 determining the Community position for a decision of the management entities under the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the European Community on the coordination of energy-efficiency labelling programmes for office equipment on the revision of the imaging equipment specifications in Annex C, part VII, to the Agreement (2009/347/EC), Division 37: Product speed — In general, for standard-size products, a single A4 or 8,5″ × 11″ sheet printed/copied/scanned on one side in a minute is equal to one image-per-minute (ipm). If the maximum claimed speeds differ when producing images on A4 or 8,5″ × 11″ paper, the higher of the two is used.

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

For mailing machines, one piece of mail processed in a minute is equal to one mail-piece-per-minute (mppm).
For small-format products, a single A6 or 4″ × 6″ sheet printed/copied/scanned on one side in a minute is equal to 0,25 ipm.
For large-format products, a single A2 sheet is equivalent to 4 ipm and one A0 sheet is equivalent to 16 ipm.
For continuous-form products categorised as small-format, large-format, or standard-size, print speed in ipm should be obtained from the product’s maximum marketed imaging speed in metres per minute according to the conversion below:
X ipm = 16 × [maximum media width (metres) × maximum imaging speed (length-metres/minute)].
In all cases, the converted speed in ipm should be rounded to the nearest integer (e.g. 14,4 ipm rounds to 14 ipm; 14,5 ipm rounds to 15 ipm).
For qualification purposes, manufacturers should report the speed of the product according to the prioritisation of functions outlined below:
print speed, unless the product cannot perform the print function, in which case,
copy speed, unless the product cannot perform the print or copy functions, in which case,
scan speed.
