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

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.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality labelling labelling of personal computers. 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), Statens Energimyndighet(The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

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. 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.

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 negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labelling involve?

The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation). These demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs(freons)and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental 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, 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 computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Samsung has long been a prominent player in the appliance industry, and its refrigerator models GG15LSAN/XEU, GH15LSSS/EDC, GG15LSSS/VNT, GG15LSAS/ILC, and GG15LSSN/XSJ reflect the company’s commitment to innovation, design, and performance.

One key feature of these models is their Energy Star certification, ensuring they operate efficiently while minimizing electricity consumption. This not only helps users save on energy bills but also contributes toward a more sustainable lifestyle. The design incorporates modern aesthetics, with sleek stainless-steel finishes, adding a touch of elegance to any kitchen setting.

These refrigerators are equipped with Smart Dual Control technology, allowing users to manage and monitor temperatures in distinct compartments independently. This flexibility ensures that food remains fresher for longer periods, which is particularly beneficial for perishable items. Additionally, the models feature advanced cooling systems that provide consistent temperature regulation, further enhancing food preservation.

The interior layout of Samsung refrigerators is designed for maximum organization and usability. Adjustable shelving and spacious compartments allow users to customize the storage space according to their needs. Furthermore, innovative storage solutions, such as humidity-controlled crisper drawers and dedicated shelves for beverages, enhance convenience and accessibility.

Another standout technology found in these models is the No Frost feature, which prevents ice build-up in the freezer compartment. This eliminates the need for regular defrosting, saving users time and effort. Moreover, the fridge is equipped with a multi-air flow system that circulates cool air evenly throughout the unit, ensuring that all food items are kept at the ideal temperature.

In terms of user interaction, many of these models come with digital displays and intuitive controls, making it easy to adjust settings and monitor performance. Some variants even include smart connectivity options, allowing users to control their refrigerator remotely via mobile apps, enhancing the overall user experience.

In conclusion, Samsung GG15LSAN/XEU, GH15LSSS/EDC, GG15LSSS/VNT, GG15LSAS/ILC, and GG15LSSN/XSJ models exemplify a blend of advanced technology, sleek design, and practical features. They cater to modern households looking for efficiency, style, and convenience in their kitchen appliances. With their array of innovative functionalities, these refrigerators stand out as an exceptional choice for discerning consumers.
