Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labeled 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 labeled computers?
In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of
goods and services to the environment. With the growing manufacture and usage of electronic equipment
throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials and substances used by electronic products
with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By proper selection of these materials and substances, the
impact on the environment can be minimized. 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. Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary
consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of carbon emissions
alone, it is vital to save energy.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and environmental
labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish
Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature
Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration) Approval requirements
cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy
consumption and electrical safety.
Environmental criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated
flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, and other materials. 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.
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.
Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and
magnetic fields as well as physical and visual ergonomics.
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:
