TCO'95-Ecological requirements for personal computers (TCO'95 applied model only)
AB general requirements
AB2 Written Eco-document acompanying the products
Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'95 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 to the further development of environmentally-adapted electronic 
products.
Why do we have environmentally-labelled monitors?
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 monitors and other 
electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products 
and during their manufacture. Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of electronic equipment to 
be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature.
There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from 
both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity generation 
have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.) 
it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes an enormous amount of energy, since 
it is often routinely left running continuously.
What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme, which provides for international environmental 
labelling of monitors. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish 
Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature 
Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and 
magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety. 
The environmental demands concern among other things restrictions on the presence and use of heavy 
metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated solvents. The product 
must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan, which must 
be adhered to in each country where the company conducts its operations policy. The energy requirements 
include a demand that the monitor 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 monitor shall be reasonable for the 
user.  Labelled 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.
