EIZO Corporation (TSE: 6737) announced that three of its monitors are among the first products to meet the new TCO Certified Displays 7 criteria. The certified monitors are the FlexScan EV2750, FlexScan EV2455, and FlexScan EV2450. EIZO plans to receive certification for additional models in the coming months.

TCO Certified is a sustainability certification for IT products from TCO Development of Sweden that covers socially-responsible manufacturing, the environment, ergonomic design, and usability. EIZO has actively participated in the TCO labeling system for monitors since its inception in 1992.

New criteria for TCO Certified Displays 7 include prohibiting the use of mercury and phthalates (plasticizers) as well as stipulating stricter changes to CSR (corporate social responsibility) requirements such as establishing a conflict-free supply chain of tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (3TG).
