Regulatory Information 
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or
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 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 '99 demand requires 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. 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.
