Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled

product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional
use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environ­ment and also, to the further development of environmentally adapted electron­ics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method
for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The
main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned,
is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and
during the manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for the majority of
electronics equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these poten­tially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption
levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and
natural (external) environments. Since all methods of conventional electricity
generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influ­encing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Elec­tronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy since they
are often left running continuously.

TCO '99

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for
international and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling
scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation
of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for
Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Techni­cal Development in Sweden).
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics,
usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and
electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands concern restrictions on the presence and use of
heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and
chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for
recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan which
must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its opera­tional policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display,
after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower
level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall
be reasonable for the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in
respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergo­nomics and good usability.
On the back page of this folder, you will find a brief summary of the environmen­tal requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria docu­ment may be ordered from:

TCO'99 is a co-operative project between

Environmental Requirements
Brominated flame retardants

Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires,
casings and housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent
of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances.
These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are
suspected to give rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fisheating
birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants
have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foe­tus development may occur.
TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams
must not contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colourgenerating layers
of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is
toxic in high doses.
TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm
(parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of display screens
must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury dam-

ages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm
(parts per million) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any
of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the
manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and
thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased recep­tion on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer
(malignant melanoma).
The relevant TCO'99 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during
the manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors.
Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.
TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet
been developed.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organ-

isms

** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
