z TCO'95 requirement Permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed. Ca dmi um Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nerv ous system and is toxic in high doses. z 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 switc hes. Mercury damages the nerv ous sys tem and is toxic in high doses . z 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 c omponents concerned with the dis play 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 strat osphere, causing increased recept ion on Eart h of ultraviolet light wit h consequent increased risks of skin c ancer (malignant melanoma). z The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be us ed during the manufacturing of the product or its pac kaging. TCO'99 -Ecological requirements for personal com puters (TCO'99 applied model only) Con gratulations! You have just purchased a T CO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product dev eloped for profes sional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics produc ts. This produc t meets the requirements for the TCO'99 sc heme which provides for an international environmental and quality labelling labelling of personal computers . The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO(The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees ), Sv enska Naturskyddsf oreningen(The Swedish Society f or Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet(The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB. The requirements c over a wide range of is suse: environment, ergonomics, usability , reduction of electric and magnetic fields , energy consumption and electrical safety. Why do we have envir onmentally labelled comp uters? In many countries , environmental labelling has become an establis hed method for enc ouraging 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 substanc es are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Sinc e it is not so far possible to s atisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging subs tances 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. Sinc e all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate -influencing emissions, radioactive was te), it is v ital to save energy . Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy. What does l abell ing i nvolve? The environmental demands has been developed by Sv enska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conserv ation). These demands impose res tric tions on the pres ence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs(freons )and c hlorinated solvents, among other things . The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufac turer is obliged to have an environmental polic y which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational polic y. The energy requirements inc lude a demand that the computer and/or display, after a c ertain period of inactivity, shall reduc e its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reac tivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user. Below you will find a brief s ummary of the environmental requirements met by this product.

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 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.
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.

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.
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international
environmental and quality labelling 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), Statens Energimyndighet(The
Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.
The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.
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.
What does labelling involve?
The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish
Society for Nature Conservation). These 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.
