TCO'95

LH-18S01-BK

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.

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.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme which
provides for international and environmental labelling of personal

CN912B-2/LCD1810X/78135322 00.5.26, 0:03 PM7

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:

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 bio­accumulative * processes. Flame retardants have been found in human
blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may
occur.

TCO'95 demand 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.

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 colour-generating
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 colour-generating layers of
display screens must not contain any cadmium.

CN912B-2/LCD1810X/78135322 00.5.26, 0:03 PM9

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury
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 mercury. It also demands that no mercury is
present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned
with the display unit. 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.

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

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'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be
used during the manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

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

of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g.
