OptiPlex 990 small form factor (coming in May in US, UK and Japan) is brominated ame retardant free (BFR-free) and polyvinyl chloride free (PVC-free); meeting the denition of BFR-/PVC-free as set forth in the iNEMI Position Statement on the ‘Denition of Low-12.
Halogen Electronics (BFR-/CFR-/PVC-free)’. Plastic parts contain less than 1,000 ppm (0.1%) of bromine (if the Br source is from BFRs) and less than 1,000 ppm (0.1%) of chlorine (if the Cl source is from CFRs or PVC or PVC copolymers). All printed circuit board (PCB) and
substrate laminates contain bromine/chlorine total less than 1,500 ppm (0.15%) with a maximum chlorine of 900 ppm (0.09%) and maximum bromine being 900 ppm (0.09%).
