TCO’99  
 
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. 
 
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. With the growing manufacture and usage of 
electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials and 
substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By 
proper selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the environment can be minimized. 
 
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. 
Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary 
consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of 
carbon dioxide emissions alone, it is vital to save energy. 
 
What does labelling involve? 
 
The product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and 
environmental labelling of personal computers and/or displays. 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) and Statens 
Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration). 
 
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: ecology, ergonomics, emission of electrical and 
magnetical fields, energy consumption and electrical safety. 
 
Ecological criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and 
chlorinated flame retardants, and other substances. The product must be prepared for recycling and 
the manufacturing site(s) shall be certified according to ISO14001 or EMAS registered. 
 
Energy requirements include a demand that the system unit 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 system unit shall be reasonable for the user. 
 
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction 
of electrical and magnetical fields as well as work load and visual ergonomics.

Ecological requirements 
 
Flame retardants 
Flame retardants may be present in printed wiring board laminates, cables, and housings. Their 
purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% by weight of the plastic in a 
computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Many flame retardants contain bromine or 
chlorine, and these flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). 
Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chlorine and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise 
to health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the 
bio-accumulative* processes when not disposed of in accordance with strict standards for disposal. 
 
TCO’99 requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams shall not contain flame 
retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed 
wiring board laminates due to the lack of commercially available alternatives. 
 
Cadmium** 
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer 
displays. TCO’99 requires that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens, and the 
electrical or electronics components shall not contain any cadmium. 
 
Mercury** 
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. TCO’99 requires that batteries shall 
not contain any mercury. It also demands 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 alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free 
alternative is available. 
 
Lead** 
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. TCO’99 permits the use 
of lead due to the lack of commercially available alternatives, but in future requirements TCO 
Development aims at restricting the use of lead. 
_____________________________ 
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate in living organisms. 
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative. 
 
The display unit is an electric device which may contain hazardous materials/ components and that is 
needs to be taken care of at end of life according to following information /procedure:
