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

Environmental requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their

purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer

casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride,

and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs.

Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise

to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the

bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers

fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must

not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed

in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer

displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99

requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating 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. It damages the nervous system and is

toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any
