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 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.
