A new generation of TCO Certified is released every three years. When a new generation is launched, products can no longer be certified to the previous generation.
A certificate has a limited validity period: it is valid for two years from the date of issue, with the option to extend for one year at a time. Find a complete listing of all products that are currently certified at our Product Finder.
Products may no longer be promoted as certified according to TCO Certified once the certificate expires or the generation of criteria is discontinued.
