What does labelling involve?

There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.) it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes an enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme, which provides for international environmental labelling of monitors. 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).

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands concern among other things restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated solvents. 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 conducts its operations policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the monitor 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 monitor 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, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements

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 retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish eating birds and mammals, due to the bioaccumulative processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

zTCO'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 system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.

zTCO'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.

zTCO'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.

zTCO'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

Samsung has established a strong presence in the home appliance market with its innovative products, including the Samsung MJ15ASKS/VNT, MJ17ASTS/VNT, LS15MJCKS/XSV, and LS15MJCKS/VNT models. These appliances are designed to cater to various consumer needs, focusing on functionality, efficiency, and style.

The Samsung MJ15ASKS/VNT and MJ17ASTS/VNT are microwave ovens that offer advanced cooking technology and user-friendly features. One of the standout characteristics is the Smart Sensor cooking technology, which automatically adjusts cooking times and power levels based on the food's moisture content. This ensures that meals are cooked to perfection every time. Additionally, both models boast a ceramic enamel interior, making them easy to clean and resistant to scratches, ensuring longevity and durability.

Furthermore, the eco mode feature significantly reduces energy consumption, making these machines environmentally friendly and cost-effective in the long run. The sleek design, equipped with a glass touch control panel, enhances the aesthetic appeal of modern kitchens, while the multi-stage cooking feature adds convenience by allowing users to program different cooking settings for one dish.

On the other side, the LS15MJCKS/XSV and LS15MJCKS/VNT models represent Samsung's commitment to air conditioning technology. These split system air conditioners are designed for efficiency and comfort, featuring inverter technology that allows for precise temperature control and reduced energy consumption. The Smart Wi-Fi feature enables users to control their air conditioning units remotely via a mobile app, providing added convenience.

Both LS models are designed with a focus on quiet operation, ensuring that noise disturbance is minimized while providing optimal cooling performance. The air conditioners are equipped with air purification technology, which filters airborne particles, ensuring that indoor air quality is maintained at high standards.

In summary, Samsung's MJ15ASKS/VNT, MJ17ASTS/VNT, LS15MJCKS/XSV, and LS15MJCKS/VNT models combine cutting-edge technology with user-centric design. Whether enhancing kitchen efficiency with their microwave features or improving home comfort through advanced air conditioning systems, these models exemplify Samsung's commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable home appliances tailored to the needs of modern consumers.
