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 electronic equipment are
concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are
used both in the products and during their manufacture.
Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of
electronic 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 both
the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all
types of conventional electricity generation have a
negative effect on the environment (acidic- and climatic­influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to
conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices
consumes as enormous amount of energy, since it is often
routinely left running continuously.

What does the environmenal labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95
scheme, which provides for international environmental
labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was
developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish
Confederation of Professional Employees),
Naturckyddsföreningen (The Swedish Society for Nature
Conservation), and NUTEK (The National Board for
Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden), and
SEMKO AB (an international certification agency).

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, among other things,
restriction on the presence and use of heavy metals,
brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs
(freons), and chlorinated solvents. 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, along with physical and visual
ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental requirements

Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit
boards, cabling, casings, and housings, and are added to
delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a
computer casing can consist of flame-retardant
substances. These are related to another group of
environmental toxins, PCBs, and are suspected of giving
rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish­eating birds and mammals. Flame retardants have been
found in human blood, and researchers fear that they can
disturb fetus development.

Bio-accumulative1TCO’95 demands require that plastic
components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain flame retardants with organically bound chlorine or
bromine.
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens,
solder, and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous
system and in higher doses causes lead poisoning. The

Regulatory Information cont.

relevant bio-accumulative TCO’95 requirement permits
the inclusion of lead, as no replacement has yet been
developed.

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the
color-generating layers of certain computer displays.
Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in
high doses. The relevant bio-accumulative TCO’95
requirement states that batteries may not contain more
than 25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The color­generating layers of display screens must not contain any
cadmium.

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and
switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and is
toxic in high doses. The relevant bio-accumulative TCO’95
requirement states that batteries may not contain more
than 25 ppm of mercury and that no mercury is present in
any of the electrical or electronic components concerned
with the display unit.

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed
circuit boards and in the manufacture of expanded foam
for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby
damage the ozone layer in the atmosphere, causing
increased reception on Earth of ultra-violet light with
consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant
melanoma). The relevant TCO’95 requirement: Neither
CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture of
the product or its packaging.

Bio-accumulative means that the substance accumulates

within living organisms.

Shipping Package

The packaging material can be recycled, or you can save
it to return the monitor to a service center for repair or
disposal.

CFC Compounds in Distribution Packaging

Cushioning material used for shipping finished monitors
are not manufactured with nor do they contain any CFC
compounds.

Design for Disassembly/Recycling

These monitors have been designed for easy end-of-life
disassembly and recycling. Fasteners are generally of the
same type for efficient disassembly. Components made of
different materials can be easily separated and plastics
have been identified using intermational symbols to aid in
recycling.

Monitor Disposal

WARNING

If you need to dispose of a monitor, ask a qualified service
representative for the proper procedure. Improper disposal could
result in personal injury from implosion.

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).

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.

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.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which

accumulate in living organisms.

**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals

which are bio-accumulative.
