Q：蓝天使标签在产品上提供哪些信息？
The Blue Angelis a label initiated by the German government and awardedby an independent Jury to products that are environmentally friendlier thanothers serving the same use. It is to assist consumers in their purchasedecisions.
A：蓝色天使是由德国政府发起的一个标签，由独立评委会授予的产品比其他服务于相同用途的产品更环保。它在消费者购买决定时起帮助作用。
Q：消费者为什么要选择蓝天使产品？
Blue Angelproducts meet a list of criteria considering environmental and health-relatedaspects. Insofar the purchase of a Blue Angel-labelled product is a guaranteefor good products with less environmental impact and greater health protectionthan many other products serving the same purpose.
A：蓝天使产品符合考虑环境和健康相关方面的清单标准。购买蓝天使标签的产品是与服务于同一用途的许多其他产品相比，对环境影响较小，更好地保护健康的优质产品的保证。
Q：消费者在购买蓝天使产品时，如何帮助保护环境？
The Blue Angelis awarded to products distinguishing themselves by greater environmentalfriendliness than other products serving the same purpose. Demand for andpurchase of Blue Angel products are a strong indication of consumer interestand, as result, prompt manufacturers to produce environmentally friendlyproducts.
The essentialcriterion achieving the environmental relief or benefit can be seen from thesurrounding text. A paper product made from 100 percent recycled paper savesthe entire raw material required for virgin fiber paper production,low-emission paints feature a by far lower content of solvents and otherpollutants, water-saving taps can save plenty of water. The level ofenvironmental benefit always depends on the comparative product and, of course,on the use of the product.
A：授予蓝天使的产品和其他相同用途的产品相比，更环保。蓝天使产品的需求和购买强烈地反映了消费者的兴趣，并因此促使制造商生产环保产品。
从周围的文字可以看出实现环境救济或利益的基本标准。由100％再生纸制成的纸制品可节省原始纤维纸生产所需的全部原材料，低排放漆具有较低含量的溶剂和其他污染物特点，节水水龙头可节约大量的水分。环境效益的水平总是取决于比较产品，当然还有产品的使用。
Q：获得蓝天使需要考虑的环境方面有哪些？
The award of theBlue Angel is preceded by a review of the entire life cycle of the products.Such review considers as many aspects of environmental and health protection aspossible for the respective product. Subsequently, the criteria limit or ruleout those environmental impacts which are considered to be the most importantimpacts for the respective product. So, it makes little sense to considerhealth-endangering emissions for a water-saving tap while this would be of paramountimportance for the labelling of paints. The Basic Award Criteria for a productare specified for each product group. The documents are available to read ordownload from our website.
A：蓝天使的授予是先审查产品的整个生命周期。这种审查考虑到相应产品尽可能多的环境和健康保护方面。随后，条件限制或规则被认为是相应产品对环境最重要的影响。因此，考虑水龙头的健康危害排放对于油漆标签的重要性来说是没有意义的。为每个产品组指定产品的基本奖励标准。这些文件可从我们的网站上阅读或下载。
Q：蓝天使作为环保标签是否也符合健康保护要求？
In many casesenvironmental and health protection cannot be separated. Requirements forenvironmental protection usually also serve health protection. Health-relevantproducts (paints, varnishes, wood preservatives, noise-intensive equipment)focus on requirements for health protection. Some Blue Angel eco-labels havebeen awarded primarily for health care reasons (to avoid indoor air impacts),e.g. low-emission products made from wood-based materials. The Basic AwardCriteria ban carcinogenic or other health-hazardous substances from use in BlueAngel products.
Exceptions from this general rule will only be possible if no alternativesubstances are technically available and if - based on the current state ofscientific knowledge - a health risk can be ruled with certainty.
A：在许多情况下，环境和健康保护不能分开。环境保护的要求通常也是健康保护。在许多情况下，环境和健康保护不能分开。健康相关产品（油漆，清漆，木材防腐剂，噪音密集型设备）侧重于健康保护的要求。一些蓝色天使生态标签主要是出于保健原因（以避免室内空气冲击），例如由木质材料制成的低排放产品。蓝天使基本奖励标准中禁止产品使用致癌物质或其他有害物质。
只有在技术上没有替代物质可用的情况下才可能出现此一般规则的例外情况，例如 - 根据当前的科学知识状态 -可以确定的健康风险。
Q：为什么没有蓝天使自行车或类似使用本身就是环保的产品？
Nobody questionsthe environmental soundness of bicycles. However, the Blue Angel is onlyawarded to products which, on the whole, are environmentally friendlier thanother similar products. This means, one would have to compare bicycles withbicycles. That would not make sense because hardly any environmental impactsare resulting from the product group of “bicycles”.
On the other hand, a comparison between bicycles and cars would rather be acomparison between apples and oranges as these are totally different productsthat would not allow a direct comparison because of different properties andperformances.
A：没有人质疑自行车的环保性。然而，蓝天使只能被授予与其他同类产品相比更环保的产品。这意味着，必须比较自行车与自行车。这是没有意义的，因为“自行车”产品组几乎没有任何环境影响。
另一方面，自行车和汽车之间的比较就好像是苹果和橘子之间的比较，因为这些是完全不同的产品，由于不同的特性和性能，不能直接比较。
Q：可以将蓝天使和绿点相比较吗？
No. The GreenDot is a license symbol for the use of the German Dual System, a privatecompany for packaging disposal. The Green Dot does not say anything about theenvironmental qualities of the product and, unlike the Blue Angel, it is noeco-label. The Green Dot is awarded by means of charged licenses and it is notsubject to any environmental criteria.
A不。绿点是使用德国双系统（一个私人公司进行包装处理）的许可证标志。对产品的环境质量没有任何影响，与蓝色天使不同，它不是生态标签。绿点是通过收取许可证的方式获得的，不受任何环境标准的制约。
Q：在哪里可以找到被授予蓝天使的产品或产品组，谁提供这样的产品？
Blue Angel eco-labelsexist for about 80 product and service groups the most well known of which arepaints and varnishes, emulsion wall paints, wallpapers, paper products, solarpanels, low-noise appliances, heating systems but also services like wetcleaning of textiles. For a list of all products and product group please goto Products, Brands and Suppliers on this website.There you can read the Basic Award Criteria forming the basis of the respectiveeco-label award.
A：蓝天使生态标签存在约80个产品和服务组，其中最著名的是油漆和清漆，乳胶墙漆，壁纸，纸制品，太阳能电池板，低噪音电器，供暖系统，还有湿法清洗纺织品。有关所有产品和产品组的列表，请访问本网站上的产品，品牌和供应商。在那里，您可以阅读基本奖励标准，形成相应生态标签的基础。
Q：有机农业生产的食物带有蓝天使标签吗？
No. Foods aswell as medical products have been exempted from Blue Angel ecolabelling sofar. It might, however, be possible that returnable packagings of organicallygrown products are Blue Angel-labelled if a Contract on the Use of theEnvironmental Label has been concluded for the packaging.
A：目前为止，食品和医疗产品已被免除蓝天使标生态标签。然而，如果包装使用环境标签的合同，有机成长产品的可回收包装可能是蓝天使标签的。
Q：蓝天使的产品一般比其他的贵吗？
No. The price ofBlue Angel products is not necessarily higher than that of non-certifiedproducts serving the same purpose. However, the use of special higher-qualitymaterials or special environmentally friendlier production methods may lead tohigher production cost. Sometimes, manufacturers also incur costs for thecompliance verifications required for the award of the Blue Angel, e.g. productemission test results. But these higher costs incurred by the manufacturer arenot necessarily reflected in the product sales prices.
On the other hand, the products may save costs thanks to a longer service life,lower energy and raw material consumption, guaranteed repair options or freeproduct return.
A：不是。蓝天使产品的价格不一定高于不符合相同用途的未认证产品的价格。然而，使用特殊的较高质量的材料或特殊的环保生产方法可能会导致更高的生产成本。有时候，制造商也会承担颁发蓝天使所需的合规性验证费用，例如，产品排放测试结果。但是制造商所产生的更高的成本并不一定反映在产品销售价格上。
另一方面，由于更长的使用寿命，更低的能源和原材料消耗，保证维修选项或免费产品回报，产品可节省成本。
Q：有没有害群之马滥用蓝天使标签？
RAL does notconclude the Contract on the Use of the Environmental label before consultingthe respective State Ministry for the Environment and before reviewing thesubmitted documents for correctness and completeness and the results of thetesting laboratories. In the event of misuse of the Blue Angel a warning letterwill be sent to the label user and in the event of breach of the Basic AwardCriteria the eco-label can be withdrawn. In the past, cases of misuse have beenquickly discovered and stopped.
A：在咨询各国环境部之前，在审查提交的文件的正确性和完整性以及实验室的测试结果之前，RAL不会缔结环境标签使用合同。在滥用蓝天使标签的情况下，将向标签用户发送警告信，如果违反基本奖励标准，可以撤销生态标签。过去，滥用案件被迅速发现和停止。
Q：蓝天使是产品符合标准的强制性标签吗？
No. The BlueAngel is a market-conform instrument of environmental policy that is used on avoluntary basis. The important thing is to provide the consumer withinformation for his or her buying decision as a result of which suppliers maygain competitive advantage. If there is demand for environment and health-safeproducts manufacturers and trading companies will be anxious to have theirproducts ecolabelled accordingly – but there is no obligation to do so.
The over twenty-year existence of the Blue Angel and its use are evidence thatconsumers consider environmental and health aspects - besides other aspects -when making their purchasing decisions.
A：不，蓝天使是一个市场一致的环境政策工具，在自愿的基础上使用。重要的是为消费者提供他们购买决定的信息，从而使供应商获得竞争优势。如果对环境和健康安全产品的需求，制造商和贸易公司将急于相应地对其产品进行生态标签 - 但没有义务这样做。
蓝天使二十多年的存在及其使用是消费者在做出购买决定时考虑环境和健康方面（除了其他方面）的证明。
Q：含PVC的产品能被授予蓝天使吗？
There is nogeneral ban on the award of the Blue Angel to PVC-containing products. However,many products where PVC can be replaced won’t be awarded the Blue Angel inorder to minimise the environmental impact caused by PVC. In individual cases,the Environmental Label Jury reserves the right to decide on the exclusion ofsubstances, unless prescribed by law.
A：一般没有禁止蓝天使颁发给含PVC的产品。然而，许多PVC可以更换的产品将不会被授予蓝天使，以尽量减少PVC造成的环境影响。在个别情况下，除非法律规定，环境标志评委会保留排除物质权利的决定。
Q：为什么蓝天使产品从StiftungWarentest（商品和服务测评机构）获得不同对的测试结果？
Productassessments by Stiftung Warentest and the Blue Angel ecolabelling scheme aretwo totally different instruments of consumer information on product-relatedquality characteristics. Stiftung Warentest assigns quality ratings accordingto its criteria to a limited selection of products of a certain product group –often products holding substantial market share. In doing so, the environmentalaspect is not the only criterion for the rating of product quality.
The Blue Angel, on the other side, sets environmental requirements for anentire product group. They are laid down in the respective Basic Award Criteriawhere serviceability and health-safety of the products are, of course, takenfor granted. The Blue Angel does not assign stepped ratings but marksenvironmentally friendlier products in terms of a Yes/No decision compared withothers. Stiftung Warentest provides for a differentiated evaluation of theproducts according to the criteria indicated (serviceability, environmental andhealth properties). The foundation’s product tests support the Blue Angel in asmuch as Blue Angel products often take part in these tests. Thus, also BlueAngel products receive an efficient random rating.
A：Stiftung Warentest和蓝天使标签计划的产品评估是两个完全不同的关于产品相关质量特点的消费者信息。Stiftung Warentest根据其标准将质量等级分配给特定产品组的有限选择的产品 - 通常是具有巨大市场份额的产品。在这样做时，环境方面不是产品质量评级的唯一标准。
另一方面，蓝天使对整个产品组设定了环境要求。当然，这些标准在产品的可维护性和健康安全性当然是包含在基本奖励标准中。蓝天使没有分配阶级评分，而是与其他相比，就Yes / No决定而言，标记环保产品。Stiftung Warentest根据指定的标准（可维护性，环境和健康属性）对产品进行不同的评估。该协会的产品测试支持蓝天使，而且蓝天使产品通常参与这些测试。因此，蓝天使产品也能获得有效的随机评分。
Q：基本标准的审查，如果必要时会定期更新吗？
The Blue Angelis not a static information instrument. All Basic Award Criteria are valid fora specified, usually, 3-to-4-year period. Such period can be shortened forproduct groups where more rapid technological advance is to be expected.
The Environmental Label Jury reviews the existing criteria before the expiry ofsuch period and decides whether certain Basic Award Criteria shall be extendedwith or without changes or withdrawn. Thus, current market conditions and thedevelopment of new product alternatives can be taken into account. This ensuresthe necessary dynamics and a regular update of the criteria right from thestart..
Upon conclusion of the Contract on the Use of the Environmental Label with RALthe manufacturer enters into a legally binding obligation to fully meet therequirements during the entire term of the contract. The Umweltbundesamt(Federal Environment Agency) and RAL investigate leads from competitors,consumer associations and individual consumers concerning possible misuse.
If it turns out that a product does not meet the requirements as specified inthe Contract or if the Blue Angel is misused in any other way the manufacturerforfeits the right to use the Blue Angel.
A：蓝天使不是一个静态的信息工具。所有基本奖励标准均适用于指定的产品，通常为3-4年。对于希望更快速的技术进步的产品组，可以缩短这一时期。
环境标志评审团在此期限届满前对现有标准进行审查，并决定某些基本奖励标准是否在有变更或撤销的情况下延长。因此，可以考虑当前市场状况和新产品替代品的开发。这确保了从一开始就必要的动态和定期更新标准。
在使用环境标签与RAL的合同完成后，制造商在合同的整个期限内达成完全符合要求的具有法律约束力的义务。Umweltbundesamt（联邦环境局）和RAL调查竞争对手，消费者协会和个人消费者在内的可能误用的潜在客户。
如果事实证明产品不符合合同规定的要求，或蓝天使标签以任何其他方式被滥用，制造商将丧失使用蓝天使标签的权利。
