Yes, TCO Certified includes comprehensive criteria designed to support circular IT solutions and extend the lifespan of IT products.
The criteria promote a circular approach by requiring durable product design, the ability to repair and upgrade products, and access to spare parts and service information. IT brands must support products for at least five years, including warranties and free security and functionality updates, helping to keep products in use longer.
Additional criteria support circular systems, including secure data removal, unique product identifiers, and more responsible end-of-life management.
