An international effort by the ISO standards group has resulted in the
definition of a methodology for measuring monochrome toner yield (ISO/IEC
19752). Major printer
manufacturers, including HP, Canon, Epson, Lexmark and Kyocera Mita, have
endorsed and started to use the ISO monochrome toner yield standard.

The many benefits of on-site XRF testing include same-day results, the
ability to evaluate products that may be prohibitive to ship for testing
due to size or product confidentiality, and a non-destructive testing
approach that is recognized by the International Electrotechnical

The QualityLogic services provide printer manufacturers with an
independently-certified yield specification based on the ISO standard for
monochrome toner, or the QualityLogic interim standard for color toner. XRF is recognized as an effective
screening test method for the hazardous substances restricted under the
European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. With support from the National Institute of Standards and
Technology, ANSI will provide the abstracts of nearly 1,000 of the most
requested Chinese GB standards into English by mid-year 2006.

QualityLogic 's research and that of others shows that widely
differing yield specifications can be reported using proprietary methods

"Because there is no 'one size fits all ' approach to RoHS compliance or

cost-effective approach to providing legally-defensible data.
