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
