SPECIAL APPLICATION:
BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEMS
GRAPHIC
The ENERGY STAR battery charging
systems (BCS) graphic is designed
to promote a set of products that
utilize an ENERGY STAR qualified
charger, e.g., small household
appliances, personal care products,
power tools, yard care products,
and universal battery chargers.
Only manufacturers who have
signed a Partnership Agreement
have authorization to use the
BCS graphic.
Partners may use this graphic to
promote products with qualified
BCSs as follows:
•	On the manufacturer's Internet site
where information about appliances,
power tools, and other products
with ENERGY STAR qualified BCSs
is displayed;
•	On the external product packaging
(e.g., box); QQ
•	On an insert within the
box/packaging;
•	On a cord tag that is fastened to
the BCS cord;
•	In product literature; and
•	In product advertising/promotional
materials.
This ENERGY STAR BCS graphic may
not appear directly on end-use
products or battery chargers.
However, it may be displayed on a
cord tag that is fastened to a BCS
cord (see previous section).
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL
VERSIONS B ~
There are two versions of the
graphic—horizontal and vertical.
Both include an ENERGY STAR
Symbol block and a messaging
block. The messaging block clearly
explains that the battery charging
system, and not the end- use
product, meets ENERGY STAR
performance guidelines.
CLEAR SPACE §
We require that a clear space of
0.333 (1/3) of the height of the
graphic box within the ENERGY
STAR graphic should surround the
graphic at all times. No other
graphic elements, such as text and
images, can appear in this area. We
require this clear space since the
BCS graphic frequently appears
within materials using complex
imagery such as other marks,
graphic devices, and text.

MINIMUM SIZE ~
The graphic may be resized, but the
proportions must be maintained. For
legibility, we recommend that the
graphic not be reproduced smaller
in width than 0.375 inch (3/8") for
print. Lettering legibility inside the
graphic must be maintained on
the Web. ~
PREFERRED COLOR ~
The preferred color for this graphic
is ENERGY STAR Blue (100% Cyan).
Alternate versions in black or
reversed out to white are allowed.
The reversed out to white version
may only be used on top of a dark
background color or photo image.
The Web color equivalent of
ENERGY STAR Blue is hex color
#0099FF. If multicolor printing is
available for advertising, product
literature, or point of purchase
materials, the BCS graphic should
be printed in ENERGY STAR Blue. If
ENERGY STAR Blue is not available,
then the black can be substituted.
USING THE BCS GRAPHIC WITH AN
ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED PRODUCT
In some cases, manufacturers may
wish to associate the BCS graphic
with end-use products already covered
by an ENERGY STAR specification.
This is acceptable provided that
three requirements are met:
1.	Manufacturer must be a Partner
in the applicable ENERGY STAR
end-use product category;
2.	Model(s) must meet the applicable
ENERGY STAR specification in
addition to using an ENERGY STAR
qualified BCS; and
3. Partner may not display the BCS
graphic on the end-use product nor
in its external product packaging.
Rather, Partner shall affix the
ENERGY STAR certification mark
indicating that the entire product
system is ENERGY STAR qualified.
For a current list of ENERGY STAR
product categories, visit
www.energystar.gov/products.
Approved uses of the BCS graphic
for existing ENERGY STAR end-use
products include:
•	On the manufacturer's Internet site
where information about end-use
products with ENERGY STAR
qualified BCSs is displayed;
•	On an insert within the box/packaging;
•	In product literature; and
•	In product advertising/promotional
materials.
The ENERGY STAR certification mark
and the BCS graphic should never
be combined or displayed together
as this is unnecessary and may even
cause consumer confusion. Please
contact your primary program
representative to review/approve
proposed designs prior to final
production.
INTERNATIONAL APPLICATIONS
The BCS graphic is currently
provided in English. Manufacturers
who wish to translate the text within
the graphic should contact their
primary program representative for
