Why do we have environmentally labelled computers? Environmental Labelling of Personal Computers You have rust purchased a TCO'BB approved and labelled producrl Your choice has provided you with a product developed lor prolessronal use. Your purd'iase has also contrbuted to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of envrronmentally adapted electronics products. This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 sdfieme whim provides for an international environmental and quality labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a pint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation ol Professional Employees), SVenska Naturskyddsloreningen (The Swedish Society lor Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB. The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomits, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety. In marry ocuntnes, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation ol goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are oonoemed, is that environmentally harm luI substances are used both in the products and during their manuladure. Since it is not so lar possible to satislactcn'ly reqycle the majority cl electronic: equipment, most of these potemially 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 negat'we effect on the environment (eg, acidic and climateinfluencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often Ielt running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy. What does labelling Involve? Environmental requlrernents Environmental Labelling of Personal Computers The envrronrnental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use ol heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated {lame retardants, CFCs (lreons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared lor rewclrng and the manufacturer rs obliged to have an envrrorrmental 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, alter a certain period ol inactrvity, 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 lor the user. Labelled products must meet stnct envrronmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction at electric and magnetic lrelds, physroal and visual ergonomks and good usability. Below you erI find a briel summary ol the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-t 14 94 Slookholm, Sweden Fax: +46 8 782 92 07 Email (lnlemet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO'99 approved and labelled products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco—into.com/ Flame retardants Flame retardants are present in primed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and hous'ngs. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of tire. Up to 307° ol the plastic tn 3 computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are diemicalty related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of g‘wing rise to severe health efleots, including reproductwe damage in fisheatrng birds and mammals, due to the bioaccumulative" processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers lear that disturbances in foetus development may occur. Environmental Labelling of Personal Computers 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 retardams are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no subst'nutes are available. Cadmium“ Cadmium is present In rechargeable batteries and in the oolourgenerating layers of certain computer displays, Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses, The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the oolourgenerating layers ol display screens and the electrical or electronic components must not contain any cadmium. Mercury" Mercury is sometimes lound in batteries, relays and switches. lt damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevam TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury.
