"What is "TCO'95"? What are the differences between TCO'95 and TCO'92?
Answer: In the first global environmental labelling scheme, TCO'95 is based on the premise that users should have better working conditions and covers a wide range of regulations in respect of environmentally harmful substances such as CFC?s and heavy metals. Compared with TCO'92, the TCO'92 only covers displays and their characteristics regarding electrical fields, magnetic fields, energy efficiency and electrical and fire safety. TCO'95 includes the complete personal computer, i.e. the display, system unit and keyboard, and touches on ergonomic qualities, emissions such as electrical and magnetic fields, noise and heat. It also touches on energy efficiency and ecology with demands for environmental adaptation for both the product and the production processes at the manufacturing plant.
In order to meet the TCO'95 requirements Acer Peripherals will increase the costs of the certified products - both on material cost and production cost. However, with its commitments to not only produce better products but also to devote itself in the promotion and practice of environmental protection, Acer Peripherals will continue introducing more TCO'95 certified products into the market in the future to carry on "green design and manufacturing process ?.
