TCO '95 Information
Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO'95 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.
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'95 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),
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical
Development in Sweden). The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and
magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety. 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. On the back page of this folder, you will find a brief summary of the environmental
requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:
