TCO'99

TCO99 compliant monitors must be compliant with TCO99 which is more

stringent than MPRII. The purchase of TCO99 compliant monitors contributes

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 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?

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).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment,

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

consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental 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.
