The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the 

manufacturing of the product or its packaging. 

Congratulations!
You have just purchased a 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'99 scheme which provides for an international 

environmental and quality labelling 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 issuse: 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, radioactive 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 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.

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
