- Self-description: "These Basic Award Criteria apply to paints and varnishes and comparable coating substances with paint/varnishing properties for interior and exterior use as architectural paints and as industrial coatings." — quoted from its own DE-UZ 012a Low Emission Varnishes, p7
- Site: www.blauer-engel.dePermanent address on this site: /schemes/blue-angel — it does not change between builds, so it is safe to cite or bookmark.
- What to know: 18 standards held, the largest source of emission limits in the register. Its PDFs name the publisher 'RAL gGmbH', which once triggered OCR and silently dropped the micro sign; the encoding repair is why its limits now read correctly in ug/m3.
