You have just purchased a TCO '99 approvedand labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a productdeveloped for professional use. Your purchase has also contributedto reducing the burden on the environment and also to the furtherdevelopment of environmentally adapted electronics products.Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging theadaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers andother electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are usedboth in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorilyrecycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooneror later enter nature.There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that areimportant from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Sinceall methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic andclimate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment inoffices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.What does labeling involve?This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international andenvironmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effortby the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), SvenskaNaturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and StatensEnergimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emissionof 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 otherthings. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have anenvironmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements itsoperational policy.The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain periodof inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length oftime to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reductionof electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/W7/english/170p5/safety/regs/regulat.htm (1 of 13)6/7/2004 5:21:16 PM
