Regulatory Information

English

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain

computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The

relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of display

screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system

and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may 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.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during

the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes 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

nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement

permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

2. Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
