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 cer-
tain 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, along with physical and visual ergonomics and
good usability.

Environmental Requirements
brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cabling, casings and
housings, and are added to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30 % of the plastic in a com-
puter casing can consist of flame-retardant substances. These are related to another
group of environmental toxins, PCB, and are suspected of giving rise to similar harm,
including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals. Flame retardants have
been found in human blood and researchers fear that they can disturb fetus development.
Bio-accumulative* TCO '95 demands require that plastic components weighing more
than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound chlorine or bro-
mine.
쮿
Lead – can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solder and capacitors. Lead
damages the nervous system and higher doses causes lead poisoning. The relevant
bio-accumulative* TCO '95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead, as no replace-
ment has yet been developed.
쮿
Cadmium – is present in rechargeable batteries and in color-generating layers of
certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in
high doses. The relevant bio-accumulative* TCO '95 requirement states that batter-
ies may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The color-
generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.
쮿
Mercury – is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages
the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant bio-accumulative* TCO
