TCO95 (TCO95 applied model only) Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO95 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 to the further development of environmentally-adapted electronic products. 01 Regulatory Information cont. 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 electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of electronic 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 both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic- and climatic-

influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes as enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously. What does the environmenal labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO95 scheme, which provides for international environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturckyddsfreningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden), and SEMKO AB (an international certification agency). 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, among other things, restriction on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs

(freons), and chlorinated solvents. 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 02 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, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability. The following is a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

TCO Development Unit Linnegatan 14, S-11494 Stockholm, Sweden FAX +46-8 782 92 07 E-mail (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO95 approved and labelled products may also be obtained on the Internet using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/

TCO95 is a co-operative project between:

NUTEK SEMKO Nrings- och teknikutvecklingsverket Naturskydds freningen Environmental requirements Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cabling, casings, and housings, and are added to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame-retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, and are suspected of giving rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish-

eating birds and mammals. Flame retardants have been found in human blood, and researchers fear that they can disturb fetus development. Bio-accumulative1 TCO95 demands require that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound chlorine or bromine. Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solder, and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses causes lead poisoning. The Regulatory Information cont. relevant bio-accumulative TCO95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead, as no replacement has yet been developed. Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant bio-accumulative TCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The color-

generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium. Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant bio-accumulative TCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm of mercury and that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronic components concerned with the display unit. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacture of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the atmosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultra-violet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma). The relevant TCO95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture of the product or its packaging. 1 Bio-accumulative means that the substance accumulates within living organisms. Shipping Package The packaging material can be recycled, or you can save it to return the monitor to a service center for repair or disposal. CFC Compounds in Distribution Packaging Cushioning material used for shipping finished monitors are not manufactured with nor do they contain any CFC compounds. Design for Disassembly/Recycling These monitors have been designed for easy end-of-life disassembly and recycling. Fasteners are generally of the same type for efficient disassembly. Components made of different materials can be easily separated and plastics have been identified using intermational symbols to aid in recycling. Monitor Disposal WARNING If you need to dispose of a monitor, ask a qualified service representative for the proper procedure. Improper disposal could result in personal injury from implosion. TCO'99 (TCO'99 applied model only) Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO99 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. With the growing manufacture and usage of electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials and substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By proper selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the environment can be minimized. 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. Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of carbon dioxide emissions alone, it is vital to save energy. What does labelling involve?

The product meets the requirements for the TCO99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labelling of personal computers and/or displays. 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). 03 TCO99 requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams shall not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed wiring board laminates due to the lack of commercially available alternatives. Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. TCO99 requires that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens, and the electrical or electronics components shall not contain any cadmium. Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. TCO99 requires that batteries shall 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 however one exception. 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. Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. TCO99 permits the use of lead due to the lack of commercially available alternatives, but in future requirements TCO Development aims at restricting the use of lead. _____________________________________________

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate in living organisms.

**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative. Regulatory Information cont. Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues:

ecology, ergonomics, emission of electrical and magnetical fields, energy consumption and electrical safety. Ecological criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, and other substances. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturing site(s) shall be certified according to ISO14001 or EMAS registered. Energy requirements include a demand that the system unit 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 system unit shall be reasonable for the user. Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electrical and magnetical fields as well as work load and visual ergonomics. Below you will find a brief summary of the ecological requirements met by this product. The complete ecological criteria document can be found at TCO Developments website http://www.tcodevelopment.com or may be ordered from:

Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30%

by weight of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Many flame retardants contain bromine or chlorine, and these flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chlorine and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative*

processes when not disposed of in accordance with strict standards for disposal. 04 Regulatory Information cont.
