TCO’99

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. With the growing manufacture and usage of
electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials and
substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By
proper selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the environment can be minimized.

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.
Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary
consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of
carbon dioxide emissions alone, it is vital to save energy.

What does labelling involve?

The product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and
environmental labelling of personal computers and/or displays. The labelling scheme was developed
as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens
Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: ecology, ergonomics, emission of electrical and
magnetical fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

Ecological criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and
chlorinated flame retardants, and other substances. The product must be prepared for recycling and
the manufacturing site(s) shall be certified according to ISO14001 or EMAS registered.

Energy requirements include a demand that the system unit 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 system unit shall be reasonable for the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction
of electrical and magnetical fields as well as work load and visual ergonomics.

Ecological requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants may be present in printed wiring board laminates, cables, and housings. Their
purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% by weight of the plastic in a
computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Many flame retardants contain bromine or
chlorine, and these flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chlorine and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise
to health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the
bio-accumulative* processes when not disposed of in accordance with strict standards for disposal.

TCO’99 requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams shall not contain flame
retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed
wiring board laminates due to the lack of commercially available alternatives.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer
displays. TCO’99 requires that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens, and the
electrical or electronics components shall not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. TCO’99 requires that batteries shall
not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or
electronics components associated with the labelled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is,
for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no
commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free
alternative is available.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. TCO’99 permits the use
of lead due to the lack of commercially available alternatives, but in future requirements TCO
Development aims at restricting the use of lead.
_____________________________
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate in living organisms.
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.

The display unit is an electric device which may contain hazardous materials/ components and that is
needs to be taken care of at end of life according to following information /procedure:
