  3. Plastic components of the product weighting 25 g or greater shall meet the following requirements:
    • shall not contain cadmium, lead, chromium (+6) or mercury;
    • shall not contain the following flame retardants:
      • polybrominated biphenyls, (PBB);
      • polybrominated diphenylethers, (PBDE): monobrominated diphenylether, dibrominated diphenylether, tribrominated diphenylether, tetrabrominated diphenylether, pentabrominated diphenylether, hexabrominated diphenylether, heptabrominated diphenylether, octabrominated diphenylether, nanobrominated diphenylether, decabrominated diphenylether.
      • long-chained chloroparaffins with 10-13 carbon atoms per The product and its manufacturing process shall not contain or use substances controlled by the Montreal Protocol.
  4. The battery used in the product shall meet the requirements for Mercury-free batteries.
  5. The product shall be capable of entering a low power-consumption mode (standby mode) automatically when the unit is inactive for 20 minutes. The power consumption at the standby mode shall be less than 1 watt.
  6. The energy consumption requirements for televisions with various screen sizes (measured diagonally) during their active mode are as follows:

    screen size <= 15-inch: less than 30 watts

    screen size 16 to 21-inch: less than 50 watts

    screen size 22 to 27-inch: less than 75 watts

    screen size >= 28-inch: less than 90 watts
  7. The television screen itself shall not contain any cadmium or mercury.
  8. The product shall be disassembleable. Instructions on how to disassemble the product shall be provided to the consumers at the time of purchase. (Disassembleable means the products can be disassembled with regular tools, such as a screwdriver.)
  9. The product and its manufacturing process shall not contain or use substances controlled by the Montreal Protocol.

  2. Corrugated carton used for packaging should be made from recycled pulp with at least 80% recycled paper content.
  3. The determination of polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenylethers flame retardants should be based on international, national or specific industry standards, such as the US EPA 3540C/8081A/8082A/8270D, and the detection limits should be no greater than 5 ppm.
  4. The determination of long-chained chloroparaffins with 10-13 carbon atoms per molecule should be based, in the order of preference, on international, national or specific industry standards, such as the US EPA 8270D/3540C/GC-MSD, and the detection limits should be no greater than 5 ppm.
  5. The determination of cadmium, lead, chromium (+6) and mercury, should be based, in the order of preference, on international, national or specific industry standards, such asUS EPA 3050B/3051A/3052/3060A, and the detection limits should be no greater than 2 ppm.
