Congratulations!
You hav e just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has pro vided 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 en vironmentally labelled computers?
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method f or encour aging 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 satisf actorily 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 negativ e eff ect on the en vironment (e .g. acidic and climate-influencing
emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to sa ve energy . Electronics equipment in offices is often left running
continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
English
What does labelling inv olve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which pro vides for international and
environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was de veloped 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 cov er 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 policy 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 f or 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.
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

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 bio-accumulativ e* processes . Flame
retardants have been f ound in human b lood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus dev elopment
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 allow ed in the
printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available .
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating lay ers of certain computer
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99
requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating 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. There is howev er one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light
system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially av ailable alternative. TCO aims on removing
this exception when a mercury free alternative is availab le.
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, displa y 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 dev eloped.
*
Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms
**
Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Sie haben gerade ein Gerät mit TCO‘99-Zulassung und entsprechender Kennzeichnung erworben! Damit
haben Sie sich für ein Produkt entschieden, das für professionelle Anwendungen konzipiert ist. Mit Ihrem
Kauf leisten Sie auch einen Beitrag zum Umweltschutz und zur W eiterentwic klung von umweltfreundlichen
Elektronikprodukten.
Warum verkaufen wir Computer mit Umweltkennzeichnung?
In vielen Ländern dient die Kennzeichnung mit Umweltzeichen als Anreiz für die F ertigung und Bereitstellung
umweltverträglicher Konsumgüter und Dienste. Das Hauptproblem im Zusammenhang mit Computern und
anderen elektronischen Geräten besteht darin, daß umweltschädliche Stoffe in den Produkten enthalten sind
und auch während der Fertigung eingesetzt werden. Da es bis jetzt noch nicht möglich ist, den Großteil der
elektronischen Geräte hinlänglich zu recyceln, gelangen fast alle dieser möglicherweise schädigenden
Substanzen früher oder später in den Naturkreislauf.
Weitere Eigenschaften eines Computers, beispiels weise sein Energieverbrauch, sind aus Sicht der Arbeitsumgebung (intern) und natürlichen Umgebung (extern) ebenfalls von Bedeutung. Da alle Verfahren zur
Stromerzeugung negative Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt haben (beispielsweise saurer Regen, klimabeeinflussende Emissionen, radioaktiver Abfall), k ommt es darauf an, möglichst Energie zu sparen. Elektronische Geräte in Büros sind oft durchgehend eingeschaltet und verbrauchen deshalb viel Strom.
Welche Bedeutung hat die Kennzeichn ung?
Dieses Produkt entspricht den Anforderungen der TCO‘99-Verordnung, die sich mit internationalen Kennzeichnungen und Umweltzeichen für PCs bef aßt. Die Kennzeichnungen wurden gemeinsam v on der TCO
(Schwedische Zentralorganisation für Angestellte und Beamte), Svenska Naturskyddsf oreningen (Schwedische Gesellschaft für Naturschutz) und Statens Energimyndighet (Schwedische Nationale Energiebehörde)
entwickelt.
Zulassungsanforderungen beschäftigen sich mit den unterschiedlichsten Belangen: Umwelt, Ergonomie,
Nutzbarkeit, Emission elektrischer und magnetischer Felder , Energie verbrauch und elektrische Sicherheit
sowie Brandschutz.
Die Umweltanforderungen beschränken u.a. das Vorkommen und die Verwendung von Schwermetallen,
brom- und chlorhaltigen Flammschutzmitteln, FCKW (Freon) und Chlorlösungsmitteln. Das Produkt muß
recyclingfähig sein, und der Hersteller muß einen Umweltplan ausgearbeitet haben, der in allen Ländern, in
denen das Unternehmen seine Betriebsstrategie realisiert, eingehalten werden muß.
Die Energieanforderungen beinhalten die Forderung, daß der Computer und/oder sein Anzeigegerät nach
einer bestimmten Zeit der Inaktivität die Leistungsaufnahme in einer oder mehreren Stufen verringern muß.
Die Reaktivierungszeit des Computers muß für den Benutzer in einem vernünftigen Rahmen liegen.
Gekennzeichnete Produkte müssen strenge Umweltanf orderungen einhalten, beispielsweise hinsichtlich der
V erringerung elektrischer und magnetischer Felder, physikalischer und visueller Ergonomie und guter
Nutzbarkeit.
Nachfolgend finden Sie eine kurze Zusammenf assung der Umweltanforderungen, die von diesem Produkt
eingehalten werden. Ein Dokument mit allen Umweltkriterien können Sie unter f olgender Adresse anf ordern:

Umweltanforderungen
Flammschutzmittel
Flammschutzmittel kommen in Platinen, Kabeln, Drähten, Verkleidungen und Gehäusen vor. Sie sollen die
Ausbreitung eines Brandes verhindern oder zumindest verz ögern. Bis zu 30 % der Kunststoffteile in einem
Computergehäuse können aus Flammschutzsubstanzen bestehen. Die meisten Flammschutzmittel enthalten Brom oder Chlorid und lassen sich in chemischer Hinsicht mit einer anderen Gruppe umweltschädigender Stoffe, den PCBs, in V erbindung bringen. Brom- und chlorhaltige Flammschutzmittel und die
PCBs stehen im Verdacht, schwere gesundheitliche Störungen hervorzurufen, darunter aufgrund des
bioakkumulativen* Prozesses reproduktiv e Schädigungen v on fischfressenden Vögeln und Säugetieren.
Flammschutzmittel wurden bereits im menschlichen Blut nachgewiesen. Forscher fürchten, daß es zu einer
Schädigung der Fötusentwicklung k ommen kann.
Die relevanten Anforderungen der TCO’99 verlangen, daß Kunststoffbauteile mit einem Gewicht von über
25 g keine Flammschutzmittel mit organisch gebundenem Brom oder Chlor enthalten dürf en.
Flammschutzmittel bei Platinen sind zulässig, da keine alternativen Lösungen zur Verfügung stehen.
Cadmium**
Cadmium kommt in Akkus und in den farberzeugenden Schichten bestimmter Computerbildschirme vor.
Cadmium schädigt das Nervensystem und ist in hoher Dosierung giftig. Die rele v ante TCO’99-Anforderung
verlangt, daß Batterien, die farberzeugenden Schichten von Anz eigebildschirmen und elektrische oder
elektronische Komponenten kein Cadmium enthalten dürf en.
Quecksilber**
Quecksilber kommt manchmal in Batterien, Relais und Schaltern vor. Es schädigt das Nervensystem und ist
in hoher Dosierung giftig. Die rele v ante TCO‘99-Anforderung verlangt, daß Batterien kein Quec ksilber
enthalten dürfen. Außerdem verlangt sie, daß Quecksilber weder in elektrischen noch elektronischen Komponenten vorkommen darf, die zu gekennzeichneten Einheiten gehören. Dabei gibt es jedoch eine A usnahme. Im A ugenblick ist der Einsatz von Quecksilber in der Hintergrundbeleuchtung von Flachbildschirmen
