The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and

use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants,

CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The

product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged

to have an environmental policy 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 con-

sumption 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,

physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

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 containing 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 retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear

that disturbances in foetus development may occur.
