TCO’95 Eco-document (for the

black model)

x Conglatulations!

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 comput-

ers?

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.

x 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).

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 this page, you will find a brief summary of the environmental

requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria

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).

x 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 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 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 colour-generating layers of

display screens must not contain any cadmium.

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.

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.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within

living organisms

** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-

accumulative.
