TCO’95

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 also, to the further development
of environmentally adapted electronics products.

English-4

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 is as yet not possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of
electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances
will eventually enter the environment.

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.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 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).

English

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 directive that the computer and/or
display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power
consumption to a lower level. The length of time to reactivate the
computer shall be reasonable for the user.

English-5

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’95 is a co-operative project between 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).

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’95 directive requires that plastic components weighing more than
25 grams must not contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.

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.

English-6

TCO’95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement
has yet been developed.

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’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than
25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colourgenerating layers of
display screens must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches and back­light system. Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high
doses.

TCO’95 requirement states that batteries must 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 except the back-light system.

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 damagethe ozone layer in the stratosphere,
causing increased ultraviolet light to enter the earth‘s atmosphere with
consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

English

The relevant TCO’95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be
used during the manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
