•TCO'99-Ecological requirements for personal computers (TCO applied model only)

You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled pr oduct! Your choice has provided you with a

product developed for professional use. Your purchase has a lso contributed to reducing the burden on the

environment and also to the further development of envi ronmentally adapted electronics products.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international

environmental and quality labelling labelling of perso nal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as

a joint effort by the TCO(The Swedish Confederation of Pro fessional Employees), Svenska

Naturskyddsforeningen(The Swedish Society for Nature Con servation), Statens Energimyndighet(The

Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMK O AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environm ent, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric and

magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the

adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main p roblem, as far as computers and other

electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmental ly 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 dama ging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, su ch as energy consumption levels, that are important

from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (exte rnal) environments. Since all methods of

electricity generation have a negative effect on the environm ent (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing

emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. El ectronics equipment in offices is often left running

continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energ y.

The environmental demands has been developed by S venska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society

for Nature Conservation). These demands impose restrict ions on the presence and use of heavy metals,

brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs(freons)and chlorina ted solvents, among other things. The

product must be prepared for recycling and the manufac turer is obliged to have an environmental policy whic h

must be adhered to in each country where the company implem ents its operational policy.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer an d/or display, after a certain period of

inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower lev el in one or more stages. The length of time to

reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
