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
- Plastic parts weighing less than 25 grams may
or may not contain brominated flame
retardants. These smaller plastic parts may to
be finding all over the PC system. It may
especially include: fan, speaker.
