Ecological requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants may be present in printed wiring board laminates, cables, and housings. Their

purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% by weight of the plastic

in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Many flame retardants contain

bromine or chlorine, and these flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs

(polychlorinated biphenyls). Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chlorine and the

PCBs are suspected of giving rise to health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-

eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes when not disposed of in

accordance with strict standards for disposal.

TCO’99 requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams shall not contain flame

retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the

printed wiring board laminates due to the lack of commercially available alternatives.

Cadmium**

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

computer displays. TCO’99 requires that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display

screens, and the electrical or electronics components shall not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. TCO’99 requires that batteries

shall not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the

electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit. There is however one

exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel

monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this

exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. TCO’99 permits

the use of lead due to the lack of commercially available alternatives, but in future

requirements TCO Development aims at restricting the use of lead.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate in living organisms.

**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
