CFCs (freons) The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may
be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are some-
times used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby dam-
age 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 con-
sequence.
