6. Regulatory Information
Lead-free Product
Lead free display promotes
environmentally sound recovery
and disposal of waste from electrical
and electronic equipment. Toxic
substances like Lead has been eliminated
and compliance with European community’s
stringent RoHs directive mandating restrictions
on hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment have been adhered to
in order to make Philips monitors safe to use
throughout its life cycle.
Congratulations!
This display is designed for both you and the
planet
The display you have just purchased
carries the TCO Certified label.
This ensures that your display is
designed, manufactured and tested according to
some of the strictest quality and environmental
requirements in the world. This makes for a high
performance product, designed with the user
in focus that also minimizes the impact on the
climate and our natural environment.
TCO Certified is a third party verified program,
where every product model is tested by an
accredited impartial test laboratory. TCO
Certified represents one of the toughest
certifications for displays worldwide.
For displays with glossy bezels the user should
consider the placement of the display as the
bezel may cause disturbing reflections from
surrounding light and bright surfaces.
Some of the Usability features of the TCO
Certified for displays:
• Visual ergonomics for good image quality
is tested to ensure top performance and
reduce sight and strain problems. Important
parameters are luminance, contrast,
resolution, black level, gamma curve, colour
and luminance uniformity and colour
rendering.
• Products are tested according to rigorous
safety standards at impartial laboratories.
• Electric and magnetic fields emissions as
low as normal household background
levels.
• Low acoustic noise emissions (when
applicable).
Some of the Environmental features of the
TCO Certified for displays:
• The brand owner demonstrates corporate
social responsibility and has a certified
environmental management system (EMAS
or ISO 14001).
• Very low energy consumption both in on-
and standby mode minimize climate impact.
• Restrictions on chlorinated and brominated
flame retardants, plasticizers, plastics and
heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury
and lead (RoHS compliance).
• Both product and product packaging is
prepared for recycling.
• The brand owner offers take-back options.
The requirements can be downloaded from our
web site. The requirements included in this label
have been developed by TCO Development in
co-operation with scientists, experts, users as
well as manufacturers all over the world. Since
the end of the 1980s TCO has been involved
in influencing the development of IT equipment
in a more user-friendly direction. Our labeling
system started with displays in 1992 and is
now requested by users and IT-manufacturers
all over the world. About 50% of all displays
worldwide are TCO certified.
