TCO '95/99 Information (For TCO Model Only)
Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO' 95 or TCO' 99approved and labeled 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 labeled computers?
In many countries, environmental labeling 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 labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO' 95/TCO' 99 scheme which provides for international and
environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling 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).
