TCO95

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO’95 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
to the further development of environmentally-adapted
electronic 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 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 climatic-influencing
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.

TCO’95 is a co-operative project between:

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 fish-eating 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 relevant bio­accumulative 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 color-generating 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.

TCO99

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 their manufacture. Since it is
not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the
majority of electronics equipment, 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 electricity generation have a negative
effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate­influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to
save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is
often left running continuously and thereby
consumes a lot of energy.

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), Svenska
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for
Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet
(The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues:
environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of
electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption
and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose 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

Environmental requirements

Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit
boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their
purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread
of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing
can consist of flame retardant substances. Most
flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and
those flame retardants are chemically related to
another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both
the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride
and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe
health effects, including reproductive damage in
fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio­accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have
been found in human blood and researchers fear
that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO’99 demand requires that plastic
components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain flame retardants with organically bound
bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in
the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are
available.

Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in
the colour-generating layers of certain computer
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system
and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’99
requirement states that batteries, the colour­generating layers of display screens and the
electrical or electronics components must not contain
any cadmium.

Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and
switches. It damages the nervous system and is
toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’99
requirement states that batteries may 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.

CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither
CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the
manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs
(freons) are sometimes used for washing printed
circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby
damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing
increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with
e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant
melanoma) as a consequence.

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