Electric and Magnetic Fields

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled 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 also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main 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. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

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 consumption 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.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

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.

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires 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^**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-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 colour-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.

_____________________________

^* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms

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

Energy Efficiency

Dell Computer Corporation's Environmental Program

Design for Recyclability

Your Dell equipment complies with the following principles of recyclable design:

Avoidance of nonseparable connections, such as gluing and welding, between different materials
Avoidance of coatings and composite structure materials
Use of as few different materials as possible
Designed for ease of disassembly:
- Subassemblies, cables, and components easily detachable by one person working alone
- Minimal use of screws
- Most disassembly can be done by hand or with the aid of a standard 6-millimeter (1/4-inch) nut driver only

Dell's Blue Angel Disposal Program

Rapid technological advances lead to a high turnover in computer products, as customers upgrade or replace their systems at an ever-increasing rate. To address the mounting problem regarding the indiscriminate disposal of unwanted products, and in anticipation of future legislation, Dell has instituted a disposal program, called Green Away, for the collection and disposal of these products.

Dell's Green Away Program

Dell's Green Away program is a free material return and disposal service for Dell customers, covering computer products sold by Dell under the environmental label plans. The returned products are reused, recycled, or disposed of as appropriate, in accordance with local environmental guidelines.

NOTE: The Green Away program is designed to dispose of unwanted or unusable products under the environmental label plans. For returned material discounts on recent purchases, or for recycling of equipment neither sold by Dell nor covered by the environmental label plans, contact your local Dell Asset Management specialist.

In carrying out this program, Dell's general responsibilities include the following:

Organizing the reuse/recycling/disposal of the equipment
Ensuring that all disposal/recycling practices meet local environmental regulations
Monitoring the process to ensure compliance and facilitate process improvement

How the Green Away Program Works

When you have one or more items of equipment that you would like to dispose of, contact your local Dell customer service department to request instructions. The returns coordinator processes the request and advises you on the return of your material. Refer to "Green Away Collection Sites" found later in this document for the telephone number and collection point in your area.

NOTE: "Shells" (equipment from which integral components, such as chips and power supplies, have been removed) are not accepted as part of this free program. If a shell is discovered in your shipment, you will be asked to either collect the system or pay for its disposal.

The equipment is transported to Dell's Green Away partner, where it is assessed and disposed of as follows:

If judged resellable, the Dell label is removed and the equipment is tested, repaired, and resold.
If judged beyond repair, the equipment is dismantled, and usable parts are offered for sale.

Unusable parts are disposed of as follows:

Metal cases are sold to metals recyclers.
Printed circuit boards and cases are sent to refiners.
Plastic parts are sent to plastic recyclers.
Unusable packaging is sent to paper recyclers.

Monitors are sent to recycling companies to be disposed of as follows:

The tubes are washed and the luminescent powder is recovered, some elements are extracted for reuse, and the remainder is disposed of via controlled incineration.
Glass is sorted and sent to the lead smelter or recylced for glass works.
The planar mask and the iron are sent for reuse to metals recyclers.
Items that are not reusable are mainly incinerated. However, if certain residues on the items are not allowed in hazardous waste incinerators, the Dell Green Away partner transports the items to a secured (bundled) hazardous waste landfill.

Spare Parts Policy

Dell commits to retaining stocks of spare parts (or reasonable alternatives) for a period of five years from the termination of production of the Dell system component–for example, the base system, the keyboard, or the monitor.

Use of chlorine-free paper (Europe Only)

As part of Dell’s policy to reduce the impact on the environment of obsolete item disposal and in compliance with guidelines in many geographical locations, all Dell documentation supplied with Dell equipment is printed on paper (fresh fiber from sustainable resources or recycled waste paper) bleached without the use of chlorine.

Green Away Collection Points

The table lists the country specific customer service telephone number along with the address for the Green Away collection site. For Germany, the Green Away collection site telephone number is listed rather than the customer service number.

NOTE: Locations marked with an asterisk (*) are facilities approved for battery disposal. As Dell expands the network of Green Away centers, additional addresses will be available across Europe. Contact your local Dell customer service department for information about the availability of Green Away services in your location.
