Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO???95 or 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.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO???95 or TCO???99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality labelling of personal computers.The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment.The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

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 (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioac- tive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does the environmenal labelling involve?

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 complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

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??95 and TCO???99 demand require 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.

TCO???95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.

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.

TCO???95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury.The relevant TCO???99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury.

Both TCO??95 and TCO??99 also demand 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 alterna- tive. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO???95 and TCO???99 requirement state that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

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???95 and TCO??99 requirement permit the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

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

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

Herzlichen Gl??ckwunsch!

Sie haben gerade ein Ger??t mit TCO???95- oder TCO???99-Zulassung und entsprechender Kennzeichnung erworben! Damit haben Sie sich f??r ein Produkt entschieden, das f??r professionelle Anwendungen konzipiert ist. Mit Ihrem Kauf leisten Sie auch einen Beitrag zum Umweltschutz und zur Weiterentwicklung von umweltfreundlichen Elektronikprodukten.

Dieses Ger??t entspricht den Anforderungen der TCO???95- oder TCO???99-Zulassung, die eine international anerkannte Umwelt- und Qualit??ts-Kennzeichnung f??r Personal Computer anbieten. Die Kennzeichnungen wurden gemeinsam von der TCO (Schwedische Zentralorganisation f??r Angestellte und Beamte), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (Schwedische Gesellschaft f??r Naturschutz), Statens Energimyndighet (Schwedische Nationale Energiebeh??rde) und SEMKO AB entwickelt. Die Anspr??che decken einen weiten Bereich ab: Umwelt, Ergonomie, Nutzbarkeit, Verringerung von Elektro- und Magnetfeldern, Energieverbrauch und elektrische Sicherheit.

Warum haben wir Computer mit Umweltkennzeichnung?

In vielen L??ndern dient die Kennzeichnung mit Umweltzeichen als Anreiz f??r die Fertigung und Bereitstellung umweltvertr??glicher Konsumg??ter und Dienste. Das Hauptproblem im Zusammenhang mit Computern und anderen elektronischen Ger??ten besteht darin, dass umweltsch??dliche Stoffe in den Produkten enthalten sind und auch w??hrend der Fertigung eingesetzt werden. Da es bis jetzt noch nicht m??glich ist, den Grossteil der elektronischen Ger??te hinl??nglich zu recyceln, gelangen fast alle dieser m??glicherweise sch??digenden Substanzen fr??her oder sp??ter in den Naturkreislauf.

Weitere Eigenschaften eines Computers, beispielsweise sein Energieverbrauch, sind aus Sicht der Arbeitsumgebung (intern) und nat??rlichen Umgebung (extern) ebenfalls von Bedeutung. Da alle Verfahren zur Stromerzeugung negative Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt haben (beispielsweise saurer Regen, klimabeeinflussende Emissionen, radioaktiver Abfall), kommt es darauf an, m??glichst Energie zu sparen. Elektronische Ger??te in B??ros sind oft durchgehend eingeschaltet und verbrauchen deshalb viel Strom.

Welche Bedeutung hat die Kennzeichnung?

Die Kennzeichnungen wurden von der Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (Schwedische Gesellschaft f??r Naturschutz) entwickelt. Die Umweltanforderungen beschr??nken u.a. das Vorkommen und die Verwendung von Schwermetallen, brom- und chlorhaltigen Flammschutzmitteln, FCKW (Freon) und Chlorl??sungsmitteln. Das Produkt muss recyclingf??hig sein und der Hersteller muss einen Umweltplan ausgearbeitet haben, der in allen L??ndern, in denen das Unternehmen seine Betriebsstrategie realisiert, eingehalten werden muss.

Die Energieanforderungen beinhalten die Forderung, dass der Computer und/oder sein Anzeigeger??t nach einer bestimmten Zeit der Inaktivit??t die Leistungsaufnahme in einer oder mehreren Stufen verringern muss. Die Reaktivierungszeit des Computers muss f??r den Benutzer in einem vern??nftigen Rahmen liegen.

Nachfolgend finden Sie eine kurze Zusammenfassung der Umweltanforderungen, die von diesem Produkt eingehalten werden. Ein Dokument mit allen Umweltkriterien k??nnen Sie unter folgender Adresse anfordern:

TCO Development

SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden Fax: +46 8 782 92 07

Email (Internet): development@tco.se

Aktuelle Informationen zu Produkten mit TCO???99-Zulassung und -Kennzeichnung erhalten Sie auch im Internet unter folgender Adresse: http://www.tco-info.com/

Umweltanforderungen

Flammschutzmittel

Flammschutzmittel kommen in Platinen, Kabeln, Dr??hten, Verkleidungen und Geh??usen vor. Sie sollen die Ausbreitung eines Brandes verhindern oder zumindest verz??gern. Bis zu 30% der Kunststoffteile in einem Computergeh??use k??nnen aus Flammschutzsubstanzen bestehen. Die meisten Flammschutzmittel enthalten Brom oder Chlorid und lassen sich in chemischer Hinsicht mit einer anderen Gruppe umweltsch??digender Stoffe, den PCBs, in Verbindung bringen.

Brom- und chlorhaltige Flammschutzmittel und die PCBs stehen im Verdacht, schwere gesundheitliche St??rungen hervorzurufen, darunter aufgrund des bioakkumulativen Prozesses reproduktive St??rungen von fischfressenden V??geln und S??ugetieren. Flammschutzmittel wurden bereits im menschlichem Blut nachgewiesen. Forscher bef??rchten, dass es zu einer Sch??digung der F??tusentwicklung kommen kann.

Die relevanten Anforderungen der TCO???95 und TCO???99 verlangen, dass Kunststoffbauteile mit einem Gewicht von ??ber 25 g keine Flammschutzmittel mit organisch gebundenem Brom oder Chlor enthalten d??rfen. Flammschutzmittel bei Platinen sind zul??ssig, da keine alternativen L??sungen zur Verf??gung stehen.

Cadmium**

Cadmium kommt in Akkus und in den farberzeugenden Schichten bestimmter Computerbildschirme vor. Cadmium sch??digt das Nervensystem und ist in hoher Dosierung giftig.

Die TCO???95-Anforderung verlangt, dass Batterien nicht mehr als 25 ppm (Parts per Million) Cadmium enthalten d??rfen. Die farberzeugenden Schichten von Anzeigebildschirmen d??rfen kein Cadmium enthalten.

Die relevante TCO???99-Anforderung verlangt, dass Batterien, die farberzeugenden Schichten von Anzeigebildschirmen und elektrische oder elektronische Komponenten kein Cadmium enthalten d??rfen.

Quecksilber**

Quecksilber kommt manchmal in Batterien, Relais und Schaltern vor. Es sch??digt das Nervensystem und ist in hoher Dosierung giftig.

Die TCO???95-Anforderung verlangt, dass Batterien nicht mehr als 25 ppm (Parts per Million) Quecksilber enthalten d??rfen. Die farberzeugenden Schichten von Anzeigebildschirmen d??rfen kein Quecksilber enthalten. Die relevante TOC???99-Anforderung verlangt, dass Batterien kein Quecksilber enthalten d??rfen.

Ausserdem verlangt sie, dass Quecksilber weder in elektrischen noch in elektronischen Komponenten vorkommen darf, die zu gekennzeichneten Einzelreihen geh??ren. Dabei gibt es jedoch eine Ausnahme. Im Augenblick ist der Einsatz von Quecksilber in der Hintergrundbeleuchtung von Flachbildschirmen zul??ssig, da es derzeit noch keine wirtschaftliche Alternative gibt. Die TCO bem??ht sich um eine Abschaffung dieser Ausnahme, sobald eine quecksilberfreie Alternative zur Verf??gung steht.

FCKW (Freon)

Die relevante TCO???99-Anforderung verlangt, dass weder FCKW noch HFCKW w??hrend der Fertigung und beim Zusammenbau des Produkts verwendet werden darf. FCKW (Freon) wird manchmal zum Waschen von Platinen eingesetzt. FCKW zerst??rt Ozon und sch??digt dadurch die Ozonschicht in der Stratosph??re.
