Congratulations! You have just
purchased a TCO'95 approved and
labelled product! Your choice has
provided you with a product
developed for professional use.
Yourpurchasehas also contributed
to reducing the burden on the
environmentandalso, 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.Themain 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
notbeen possible for the majority ofelectronics 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.),itisvitaltoconserveenergy.Electronicsequipmentinoffices
consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running
continuously.
What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme which
provides for international and environmental labelling of personal
78133813.PM5 99.11.10, 1:39 PM7

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).
Therequirementscoverawiderangeofissues:environment,ergonomics,
usability,emission of electrical and magneticfields, 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.
Labelledproducts must meet strict environmental demands,for example,
in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and
visual ergonomics and good usability.

environmental requirements met by this product. The complete

Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen
(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The
National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).
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
retardantsubstances.These are related to another group ofenvironmental
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 systemand in higher doses, causes
lead poisoning.
TCO'95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement
has yet been developed.
Cadmium**
Cadmiumispresentinrechargeablebatteriesand in the colour-generating
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.
78133813.PM5 99.11.10, 1:39 PM9

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. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the
backlight system of flat panel monitorsas there today is no commercially
available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a
mercury free alternative is available.
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumul
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.

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.

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 Microsoft solution with the Windows operating system facilitates
setup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities
(suchas screen size and resolutions supported)directly toyourcomputer,
automatically optimizing display performance.
IPM (Intelligent PowerManager) System
Provides innovative power-saving methodes that allow the monitor to
shift to a lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving
two-thirdsof your monitor energy cost,reducing emissions and lowering
the air conditioning cost of the workplace.
