TCO’95 applies to 9497-AG1
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 contain no more than 25 ppm (parts per million) or mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display.
Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors, as there today is no commercially available alternative.
TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.
TCO’99 applies to 9497-AW1
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 labeled 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.
