deskto

m
containing BF
FR-free laminnates (CFRs
and PVC are not used in motherrboards to beggin with) per Japan
Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association (JPCA) ES-01-1999, as
well as BFR/CFR/PVC-free chassis plastics.
2009
2010
Dell Latitude™ E4200 laptop became the first Dell laptop to contain a
motherboard using BFR-free laminates and BFR/CFR/PVC-free chassis
plastics. Additionally, the system fan housing and impeller were constructed using BFRfree plastics (CFRs and PVC have never been
used in this application).
Released first completely BFR/CFR/PVC-free products — the G2210 and
G2410 monitors. All components, including printed wiring boards and
packaging, of the G-series monitors were designed to be BFR/CFR/PVC-free , with no
exceptions.
BFR/CFR/PVC-free cables became available in North America, Japan,
Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Committed that, by the end of 2011, all newly introduced Dell personal
computing products will be BFR-, CFR- and PVC-free1, as the industry
identifies acceptable alternatives that will lower product health and
environmental impacts without compromising product performance.
Proactively eliminating the four chemicals
hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate
(DEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) and dibutylphthalate (DBP) as their restrictions
begin in 2014 under EU REACH. As of
July 1, 2010, all newly designed Dell products are free of these four chemicals.
Transitioned to BFR- and PVC-free components, such as removable media storage
devices, memory, hard disk drives, Notebook LCDs, and Notebook Keyboards in our
End User Computing products.
2011
2012
2013
Transitioned to LED (light-emitting diode) illumination for all new laptop displays,
thereby eliminating the need for mercury in those products.
Introduced multiple mainstream BFR/PVC-Free products, including the OptiPlex 990
SFF and Latitude E6420 systems, which can be configured to be completely free of
BFR/PVC. Also launched the DELL Professional P2412H-HF 24” Monitor with LED,
which is BFR/PVC-Free (including external cables), and is made from environmentally
responsible materials such as arsenic-free, mercury-free LED panel.
Introduced many products with BFR/CFR/PVC-Free features:
- Flat Panel Display Models: P1913, P1913S, P2212, P2012H, P2212H, P2312H, P2412H
- Notebooks Models:

Dell has adopted the BFR/CFR/PVC-free definition as set forth in the "iNEMI Position Statement on the Definition of 'Low-Halogen' Electronics
(BFR/CFR/PVC-Free)." Plastic parts contain <1000 ppm (0.1 percent) of bromine (if the Br source is from BFRs) and <1000 ppm (0.1 percent) of chlorine
if the Cl source is from CFRs, PVC or PVC copolymers. All printed circuit board (PCB) and substrate laminates contain bromine/chlorine totaling less than
1,500 ppm (0.15 percent), with maximum chlorine of 900 ppm (0.09 percent) and maximum bromine of 900 ppm (0.09 percent). Service parts after
purchase may not be BFR/CFR/PVC-free. Exclude peripheral accessories.
