D TCO‘99 Requirements You have just purchased a TCO’99 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.
TCO‘99 Requirements 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 (for example, 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.
TCO‘99 Requirements Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden Fax: +46 8 782 92 07 Email (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO’99 approved and labelled products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.
TCO‘99 Requirements Cadmium Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-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 color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. Cadmium is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative. Mercury Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches.
Lead Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO´99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed. Lead is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.
