TCO’99 (FOR OPTIONAL MODEL)

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. 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 TCO’99 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).

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
