Regulatory Information cont.
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.
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which
accumulate within living organisms
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are
Bio-accumulative.
