Directive(89/336/EEC) and LOW VOLTAGE Directive
(73/23/EEC) issued by the Commission of the European
Community.
Compiance with these directives implies conformity to the
following European Norms :
• EN 55022 ; Radio Frequency Interference
• EN 50082-1:1992 ; Electromagnetic Immunity
• EN 60555-2 ; Power Line Harmonics
• EN 60555-3 ; Voltage Fluctuations

NOTICE
The regulations are applied only to the products with the
ID LABEL indicating specific requirements.

Low Radiation Compliance (MPR II)

This monitor meets one of the strictest guidelines available
today for low radiation emissions, offering the user extra
shielding and an antistatic screen coating. These
guidelines, set forth by a government agency in Sweden,
limit the amount of emission allowed in the Extremely Low
Frequency (ELF) and Very Low Frequency (VLF)
electromagnetic range.

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 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 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 computer, 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 climatic-influencing
emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve
energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes as
enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left
running continuously.
What does the environmenal labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95
scheme, which provides for international environmental
(for Europe)
labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was
developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish
Confederation of Professional Employees),
Naturckyddsföreningen (The Swedish Society for Nature
Conservation), and NUTEK (The National Board for
Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden), and
SEMKO AB (an international certification agency).
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,
restriction 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 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.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental
demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric
and magnetic fields, along with physical and visual
ergonomics and good usability.
The following is a brief summary of the environmental
requirements met by this product. The complete
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental requirements
Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit
boards, cabling, casings, and housings, and are added to
delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a
computer casing can consist of flame-retardant substances.
These are related to another group of environmental toxins,
PCBs, and are suspected of giving rise to similar harm,
including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and
mammals. Flame retardants have been found in human
blood, and researchers fear that they can disturb fetus
development.
Bio-accumulative 1 TCO'95 demands require that plastic
components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain flame retardants with organically bound chlorine or
bromine.
