TCO’99 Eco-document

x 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.

x 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 climate-influencing

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.

x 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 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 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.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental

requirements met by this product. The complete environmental

x 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-accumulative*

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 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.

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.
