TCO’99

MultiSync LCD1850X white Model (LH-18S02-1)

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’99

approved and labeled 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 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 the manufacturing.

Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment

to be recycled in a satisfactory way, 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

conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the

environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive

waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in

offices consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left

running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which

provides for international and environmental 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)

and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy

Administration).

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment,

ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy

consumption and electrical and fire safety.

00Cover_all.p65 2/4/01, 3:39 pm4

The environmental demands concern 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 plan 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.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example,

in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and

visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements

Flame retardants

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. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride and these

are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are

suspected to give rise to severe health effects, including reproductive

damage in fisheating 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.

TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than

25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound

chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit

boards since no substitutes are available.

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.

TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement

has yet been developed.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the

colourgenerating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium

damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

00Cover_all.p65 2/4/01, 3:39 pm5

TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating layers of

display screens and the electrical or electronics components 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.

TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any Mercury. It

also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or

electronics components associated with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons)are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards.

CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the

stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light

with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

The relevant TCO’99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be

used during the manufacturing and assembly of the product or its

packaging.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within

living organisms.

** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are

Bioaccumulative.
