hp pavilion f1503/f1703 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 53 English TCO â99 You have just purchased a TCO â99 approved 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 to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products. Why do we have environm entally labeled computers? In many countries/regions, enviro nmental labeling has become an established method for encouragin g the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The ma in 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. Sinc e it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substanc es sooner or later enter nature. There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are import ant from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (e xternal) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (for example, acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to sa ve energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running contin uously and thereby consumes a lot of energy. What does the environmental labeling involve? This product meets the requirements for the TCO â99 scheme which provides for an international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme wa s developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration), and SEMKO AB. The requirements cover a wide ra nge of issues: Environmental, ergonomic, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption, and electrical safety.
hp pavilion f1503/f1703 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 54 English The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated so lvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recy cling, and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country/region where the company implements its operational policy. 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 produc t. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden Fax: 46 8 782 92 07 E-mail (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO â99 approved and labeled products may also be obtained over the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/
hp pavilion f1503/f1703 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 55 English 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 co ntaining 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 re tardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development may occur. The relevant TCO â99 demand requ ires 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 â : Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour- generating layers of certain co mputer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO â99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. * Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. â L ead, Cadmium and Mercur y are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
hp pavilion f1503/f1703 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 56 English Mercury * : Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is to xic in high doses. The relevant TCO â99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that merc ury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled 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. CFCs (freons): The relevant TCO â99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the ma nufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are some times used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e. g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence. Lead * : Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervou s system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The rele vant TCO â99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed. * L ead, Cadmium and Mercur y are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

hp pavilion f1503/f1703 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 53 English TCO â99 You have just purchased a TCO â99 approved 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 to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products. Why do we have environm entally labeled computers? In many countries/regions, enviro nmental labeling has become an established method for encouragin g the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The ma in 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. Sinc e it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substanc es sooner or later enter nature. There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are import ant from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (e xternal) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (for example, acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to sa ve energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running contin uously and thereby consumes a lot of energy. What does the environmental labeling involve? This product meets the requirements for the TCO â99 scheme which provides for an international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme wa s developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration), and SEMKO AB. The requirements cover a wide ra nge of issues: Environmental, ergonomic, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption, and electrical safety.
hp pavilion f1503/f1703 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 54 English The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated so lvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recy cling, and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country/region where the company implements its operational policy. 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 produc t. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden Fax: 46 8 782 92 07 E-mail (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO â99 approved and labeled products may also be obtained over the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/
hp pavilion f1503/f1703 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 55 English 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 co ntaining 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 re tardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development may occur. The relevant TCO â99 demand requ ires 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 â : Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour- generating layers of certain co mputer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO â99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. * Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. â L ead, Cadmium and Mercur y are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
hp pavilion f1503/f1703 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information 56 English Mercury * : Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is to xic in high doses. The relevant TCO â99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that merc ury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled 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. CFCs (freons): The relevant TCO â99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the ma nufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are some times used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e. g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence. Lead * : Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervou s system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The rele vant TCO â99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed. * L ead, Cadmium and Mercur y are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
