TCO certied

A third-party certification according to ISO 14024

Say hello

to a more sustainable product

IT products are associated with a wide range of sustainability risks

throughout their life cycle. Human rights violations are common in the

factories. Harmful substances are used both in products and their

manufacture. Products can often have a short lifespan because of poor

ergonomics, low quality and when they are not able to be repaired or

upgraded.

This product is a better choice. It meets all the criteria in TCO Certified,

the world’s most comprehensive sustainability certification for IT

products. Thank you for making a responsible product choice, that help

drive progress towards a more sustainable future!

Criteria in TCO Certified have a life-cycle perspective and balance

environmental and social responsibility. Conformity is verified by

independent and approved verifiers that specialize in IT products, social

responsibility or other sustainability issues. Verification is done both

before and after the certificate is issued, covering the entire validity

period. The process also includes ensuring that corrective actions are

implemented in all cases of factory non-conformities. And last but not

least, to make sure that the certification and independent verification is

accurate, both TCO Certified and the verifiers are reviewed regularly.

updates at tcocertified.com. On the website you’ll also find our Product

Finder, which presents a complete, searchable listing of certified

products.
