Benchmarking chemicals with GreenScreen® in TCO Certified
Of the thousands of chemicals available for commercial use, only about 1% have ever gone through testing to assess their effects on human health and the environment. In TCO Certified, we use the GreenScreen® for Safer Chemicals to identify a pathway to safer alternatives to be used in certified products. GreenScreen offers an objective, scientific way of assessing these potential effects, and finding safer alternatives to the most hazardous substances.
How do I know if a certificate is valid?
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.
Update – next generation TCO Certified, be among the first to certify
With the next generation TCO Certified, we're taking a major step toward a sustainable life cycle for electronics. As you can see in the criteria draft, TCO Certified, generation 8 will focus on further building transparency and responsibility in supply chain, material use and product life. With leadership criteria and independent verification as the backbone of TCO Certified, purchasers, brands and suppliers will have a tool they can trust and stand behind.
New look, easy to use criteria documents
We have made several changes to the criteria documents, making them easier to navigate, and easier to apply for certification.
