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.

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?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 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), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature

Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration). Approval requirements

cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy

consumption and electrical and fire safety. The environmental 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. 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 the Back page of

this folder, you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete

environmental criteria document may be ordered from:
