Introduction

TCO Certified is an international third party sustainability certification for IT products.

By choosing TCO Certified computers, displays and other devices, businesses and

organizations around the world are able to help meet environmental and social

challenges associated with electronics.

TCO Development has, since the end of the 1980s, advanced sustainable development

of IT products. Today, TCO Development¡¯s international certification system ¨C TCO

Certified ¨C makes it easy to choose sustainably designed and manufactured IT

products such as displays, computers, smartphones and tablets. TCO Certified is a

third party certification, Type 1 eco label according to ISO14024.

Sustainability in all phases of the product life cycle

Electronics are associated with many different sustainability risks throughout the life

cycle, including manufacturing, use and end of life phases. TCO Certified contains

criteria aimed at addressing many of these challenges in each life cycle phase. This

unique, broad scope makes TCO Certified the most comprehensive third party

certification for IT products.

With every major update the aim is to extend and tighten the criteria in order to keep

pace with technology innovation and sustainability challenges. Periodic updates are a

result of dialog with key stakeholders, such as purchasers, users, industry, and subject

matter experts. This criteria document, TCO Certified Desktops 5.0, is the fifth version

of TCO Development¡¯s certification of Desktops. Moving forward, subsequent

versions, 5.1, 5.2 etc., may be released. However, these are to be considered only as

updates within the seventh version, with improved precision of the mandates and test

methods.
