This product may contain plastic parts with Brominated flame retardants but
to the best of our knowledge we provide this information to sort them out.
Plastic parts location can be visually identified by their typical design function
for the product (also shown in the disassembly manual).
Many of these parts (Greater than 25 grams) are bromine free.
Regardless, these parts are labeled (usually molded directly into the plastic)
per ISO 11469.
A typical label would look like:
> Polymer Abbreviation - FR(xx) <
i.e. > PC+ABS FR(40) <
Flame retardant codes (FR(xx)) are given in ISO 1043-4. Codes for some
Brominated flame retardants:
14 aliphatic/alicyclic Brominated compounds
15 aliphatic/alicyclic Brominated compounds in combination with antimony
compounds
16 aromatic Brominated compounds (excluding Brominated diphenyl ether
and biphenyls)
17 aromatic Brominated compounds (excluding Brominated diphenyl ether
and biphenyls) in combination with antimony compounds
22 aliphatic/alicyclic chlorinated and Brominated compounds
42 Brominated organic phosphorus compounds
- Plastics parts weighing less than 25 grams may or may not contain
brominated flame retardants.These smaller plastics parts may to be finding
all over the PC system. It may especially include: fan, speaker.
Does the product contain mass
storage devices? If so, is any of them
soldered to a circuit board?
