7.2 Halogens Background Halogenated flame retardants and plasticizers are often persistent and can bio-accumulate in living organisms. They are problematic from both a human health and environmental perspective throughout the product life cycle and should be phased out. Workers may be exposed during manufacturing. The substances may migrate from the products to humans during the use phase, with unknown health effects. At end of life, the substances risk leaking out into the natural environment. PVC is by far the most common halogen-containing plastic. Definitions Printed wiring board laminate is a printed board that provides point-to-point connections. Halogens are a group of five chemically related non-metallic elements in the Periodic Table; fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) are restricted in the RoHS directive (2002/95/EC) due to the hazardous properties of these substances. Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) has been identified as a Substance of Very High Concern in accordance with EU REACH criteria due to PBT (persistent, bio accumulative, toxic) properties 7.2.1 Mandate 1. Parts that weigh more than 25 grams (10 g for headsets and 5 g for smartphones) and are made mainly of plastics must not contain flame retardants or plasticizers with halogenated substances or intentionally added halogens as part of the polymer. a. Exempted are printed wiring board laminates, electronic components and all kinds of cable insulation. 2. The product must not contain PBB, PBDE and HBCDD. a. Note: This applies to components, parts and raw materials in all assemblies and sub-assemblies of the product, such as batteries, paint, surface treatment, plastics and electronic components. 7.4 Plasticizers The GreenScreen criteria are in line with international standards and regulations including the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), OECD testing protocols and the European REACH Regulation. The U.S. EPA’s Design for Environment (DfE) Alternatives Assessment is also an important influence for GreenScreen. 7.4.1 Mandate ● Plasticizers used in product housing and cable insulations must have been assigned a GreenScreen benchmark score of 2, 3 or 4 by a licensed GreenScreen profiler and appear on the public TCO Certified Accepted Substance List. A benchmark U is only accepted when the “worst case scenario” for data gaps is considered to be a benchmark 2 or above. ● The product must not contain Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP). No parts of the product are exempted. ● All substances of a plasticizer mixture must be accounted for. Non-accepted ingredients must not exceed concentration levels of 0.1% by weight of the plasticizer.

1. Is the halogens criteria (7.2) met for all plastic parts regardless of weight? 2. Is the halogens criteria (7.2) met for the whole product without any excepted parts? if yes, then the following proof must be confirmed by an approved verifier: A copy of manufacturer’s halogen-free implementation specification or similar Clarifications Included are all types of plastic in for example panels, internal and external cables, connectors, printed wiring board and substrate laminates, insulating mylar sheets and labels. The allowed maximum concentration limit is set to 900 ppm by weight for chlorine and bromine individually (maximum 1500 ppm for chlorine + bromine) derived from flame retardant/plasticizer/PVC (including PVC copolymer)/plastic (polymeric) material. For electronic components other than printed wiring board and substrate laminates, each plastic within the component must contain < 1000 ppm (0.1%) of bromine and < 1000 ppm (0.1%) of chlorine by weight in homogeneous materials (maximum 1500 ppm for chlorine + bromine) derived from flame retardant/plasticizer/PVC (including PVC copolymer)/plastic (polymeric) material. The limit value of 900 ppm as the maximum content of chlorine or bromine contained in the resin (or 1500 ppm for chlorine + bromine) has been chosen to harmonize with the IEC 61249-2-21 and IPC 4101B standards. The limit value for electronic components (< 1000 ppm (0.1%) of bromine and < 1000 ppm (0.1%) of chlorine by weight in homogeneous materials derived from flame retardant/plasticizer/PVC (including PVC copolymer)/plastic (polymeric) material) has been chosen to harmonize with the iNEMI Definition of “Low Halogen” Electronics. A “manufacturers halogen-free implementation specification or similar” is for example an implementation plan on how and when the brand owner is shifting towards halogen-free alternatives and for which products. 7.2.1 Mandate 1.

Excerpt from standard:

7.1 Heavy metals Background Electronic devices contain hazardous substances like heavy metals and brominated flame retardants. The effects of cadmium, mercury, lead and hexavalent chromium are well documented as substances hazardous both to human health and the environment. They may cause problems, both in the manufacturing phase where workers or the environment can be exposed, in the use phase where additives can leak from the plastic and accumulate in dust, harming both our health and the environment, and at the material recovery, where uncontrolled recycling can cause the release of toxins such as dioxins and furans. This criterion is harmonized with EU RoHS2 Directive (2011/65/EU), except that TCO Certified does not allow mercury in the display panel backlight. As TCO Certified is a global certification, this also affects products sold outside the EU. 7.1.1 Mandate The product must not contain cadmium, mercury, lead and hexavalent chromium.
