1.1 Objectives
This Lenovo Engineering Specification establishes baseline environmental requirements for all
*Materials, Parts and Products that comprise a Lenovo hardware Product for which this
specification is referenced in a Statement of Work, print, contract or other procurement documents.
This specification implements Lenovo's environmental policy objectives and contains some, but not
all, environmental legal requirements for Materials, Parts and Products.
Compliance with the requirements in this specification alone may not satisfy the Supplier’s
responsibilities to Lenovo since this specification does not encompass all environmental legal
requirements in various countries around the world for Materials, Parts and Products. This
specification also contains some restrictions on Materials and on certain chemicals used in
manufacturing. It also requires suppliers to disclose information about the content of certain
substances in their products. This specification also includes requirements for batteries, marking of
plastic parts, and other product labeling requirements.
It is important to note that in addition to this specification, Lenovo also maintains environmental
and/or related requirements in other specifications, contracts or procurement documents
1.2 Definitions
Article - an object which during production is given a special shape, surface, or design which
determines its function to a greater degree than does its chemical composition. In reference to EU
REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), when a product is made up of more than one
constituent Article, the SVHC concentration above 0.1% weight by weight applies to each
constituent Article making up the product.
Battery or accumulator: any source of electrical energy generated by direct conversion of
chemical energy and consisting of one or more primary battery cells (non-rechargeable) or
consisting of one or more secondary battery cells (rechargeable). This definition is from the EU
Directive 2006/66/EC on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators.
Consumer Product: any article, or component part thereof, produced or distributed (i) for sale to a
consumer for use in or around a permanent or temporary household or residence, a school, in
recreation, or otherwise, or (ii) for the personal use, consumption or enjoyment of a consumer in or
around a permanent or temporary household or residence, a school, in recreation, or otherwise. For
exclusions please see the US Consumer Product Safety Act.

Intentionally Added or Intentional Addition shall mean that a substance is deliberately utilized in
the production of a Material or Part.
Materials are chemical substances and preparations that are supplied for the production of Parts and
Products (for example structural plastics, metals, coatings, paints, adhesives) and chemical
substances or preparations that are shipped with Products, such as toner, cleaners, lubricants, oils,
and refrigerants.
Not Detected - Below the detection limit of established test standards or appropriate industry
wide test methods. In general, these test standards/ methods should achieve trace level detection
or at the lowest detection capabilities of the specific sample matrix.
Homogenous Material is a unit that cannot be mechanically disjointed into different materials.
The term “Homogenous” means having uniform composition throughout. Examples of homogenous
materials are individual types of plastics, ceramics, glass, metals, alloys, resins, and coatings.
Mechanically disjointed means that the materials can, in principle, be separated by mechanical
actions such as unscrewing, cutting, crushing, grinding, and abrasive processes.
Parts include fabricated Materials, components, devices and assemblies.
Preparation: a mixture or solution composed of two or more substances, for example paint,
lubricant or ink. This definition is found in the EU Council Directive relating to restrictions on
the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations and EU Regulation
1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals
(REACH).

2.2.1. Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in Articles - Reporting
Requirements
Lenovo requires suppliers to identify if any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) present in an
Article (Deliverable) at or above the 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) concentration and report the
name and CAS number of the SVHC candidate and the quantity on the Supplier Material
Declaration (IPC-1752A form) for the Deliverable. See Annex DD for a list of SVHC which must
be reported on the Supplier Material Declaration. The table in this annex has a list of SVHC
Candidate substances which may potentially be present in Information Technology
(IT) equipment.
The current candidate list of REACH SVHC as published by the European Chemicals Agency is
located at:
Http://echa.europa.eu/chem_data/candidate_list_table_en.asp
Annex DD in this specification has the list of 201 SVHC Candidate Substances as of the date of this
document. Please check the web site for updates since this list is subject to change. Annex EE is the
list of 69 unique substances/entries subject to REACH Authorization (current as of the date of this
specification) and which are prohibited at or above 0.1% weight by weight of a Deliverable.
If an SVHC is present in a Article at or above the reporting concentrations, the Supplier must
provide a customer communication to Lenovo meeting the requirements of Article 33 of the
EU REACH Regulation.
EU REACH Regulation Number 1907/2006 can be found at http://reach.jrc.it/legislation_en.htm
The EU provides guidance documents for REACH, specifically guidance documents for Substances in Articles as well as the
candidate list for SVHC at https://echa.europa.eu/guidance-documents/guidance-on-reach
Additional information about REACH can be found at the European Chemicals Agency web site at http://echa.europa.eu/
2.3 Marking of Hardware Plastic Parts
Hardware plastic Parts molded and/or fabricated from thermoplastic materials and weighing 25
grams or more must be marked in accordance with the International Organization for
Standardization’s international standard ISO 11469, 2000-05 “Plastics- Generic identification and
marking of plastics products.” The marking convention of ISO 11469 is outlined in the following
sections. Marking is optional for Parts weighing less than 25 grams, however, all Parts having
adequate surface area for coding should be marked. Marking requirements do not apply to cable
Engineering Specification
01May2019 Page 43 of 152 Version 7.5
and cable assemblies or experimental tooling. The marking of protective packaging materials is
not in the scope of this specification.
2.3.1 Coding Method
The marking shall be made by injection molding, stamping, or other means of permanently affixing
the information in a readily visible area on non-decorative or nonfunctional surfaces.
Marking in a readily visible area means that the marking can be seen on the disassembled plastic
Parts. Use of labels with adhesives for coding Parts is not allowed.
Notes:
1. When two or more resins may be used for production of a Part, identification of the actual resin
used for fabrication is required.
2. If the Parts must be plated or painted on the internal surface, it may not be possible to have a
readily visible injection molded-in marking. In such cases, it may be necessary to code the Parts
with a stamp or other means of permanently affixing the information. If the Parts must be painted
with a decorative paint, it must be indicated on the internal surface with an appropriate means (for
example, stamp) that the Part has been painted.
2.3.2 Symbol to Signify Recyclability
To indicate that the plastic Material used for the fabrication of the Part is recyclable, the two
symbols “>” and “ <” (normally used to indicate greater than and less than) will be used. These
symbols are shown in Section 2.3.3. Marking with these symbols indicates that the Part Material is
recyclable. Note: The size of the symbol is optional as long as it is clearly legible.
2.3.3 Resin Generic Identification
Resin identification will be marked on Parts using the symbol for polymer type in between the
symbols > and < as shown in the example of polycarbonate/ABS blend below.
> PC+ABS <
The symbols for the plastic Materials shall be selected from Part 1 of international standard ISO
1043, Plastics-Symbols and abbreviated terms. Symbols of plastics not appearing in ISO 1043-1
shall be selected from ASTM D 4000, Classification System for Specifying Plastic Materials; and
ASTM D 1600, Terminology Relating to Abbreviations, Acronyms and Codes for Terms Relating to
Plastics. See Table 5 “Commonly Used Resins” for typical examples.

Additives identification shall be marked on Parts using the generic symbols from the series of
international standards ISO 1043-2, 1043-3 and 1043-4. For example, a blend of polycarbonate/ABS
with halogen-free organic phosphate flame retardant compounds is marked with the following code:

qualified by adding the text “EU Only” below the solid bar as shown in Figure 6. Contact your
Lenovo procurement representative to confirm the latest requirements for WEEE marking
implementation for affected Products.
2.9.2 WEEE Marking Elements
The marking of EEE to comply with the WEEE Directive requires all three of the following:
1) the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol in accordance with Annex IV of the WEEE Directive per
Article 10(3). The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin is the same as required for the battery
collection mark in the EU (see Figure 1).
2) a unique identification of the producer such as a brand name, trademark, company registration
number or other suitable means recorded in EU member state’s register of producers per Article
12(1) of the Directive and
3) the date of manufacture/put on the market.
European Standard EN 50419:2005 identifies three options for the indication of the date of
manufacture/put on the market:
A) Indicate the date of manufacture or date put on the market in un-coded text in
accordance with EN 28601 (This European Standard is equivalent to ISO 8601) or other
coded text, for which the code shall be made available for treatment facilities; or
B) Use the solid bar symbol as shown in Figure 6 below in conjunction with the crossed
out wheeled bin symbol. The height (h) of the solid bar shall be the greater of 0.3a or 1
mm. The bar must only be used in conjunction with the crossed out wheeled bin to
indicate that the product is put on the market after August 13, 2005.
C) Use both options A) and B).
All three marking elements (the crossed-out wheeled bin, the producer identification, and the date of
manufacture/put on the market or the solid bar under the crossed out wheeled bin) must be present
on the Product; however, the specific placement of these markings is not prescribed other than for
the relationship of the solid bar to the crossed-out wheeled bin if the bar symbol is used.

(either preferred mark or optional mark).
2.10.1 EPEAT Mark Specifications
The green EPEAT logo is the primary identifier, and should be used when representing the
EPEAT brand holistically.
Three logo variations distinguish the tiers of the EPEAT rating system: EPEAT Bronze,
EPEAT Silver and EPEAT Gold. It’s critical that the correct logo variation be associated
with each product, and that the tier identifications for all products are kept current.
Downloadable files of all logos are available to licensees online and by contacting Lenovo
Global Environmental Affairs..
Artwork should never be altered or redrawn.
Logo Colors
The logos should be reproduced in full color in all materials, electronic or printed, where full
color is available.
The CMYK (for print) and RGB (for screen) values provided must be used when the logos
Engineering Specification
01May2019 Page 62 of 152 Version 7.5
appear in color.
If your printing method requires the use of singlecolor artwork, the logo must be printed
using black ink only. Files for black-only EPEAT logos are available for download.
Figure 7. EPEAT markings.
Logo Guidelines
Clear Space
Always maintain clear space around the EPEAT logo to protect it from distracting graphics
or typography.
For the green primary identifier, measure clear space by using the width of the ascender in
“t” as a unit.
For the Gold, Silver and Bronze logos, measure clear space using the height of the text label
(the word GOLD, in the example to the right) as a unit.
Minimum Size
Engineering Specification
01May2019 Page 63 of 152 Version 7.5
Use the adjusted “small size” artwork when the logo is between 1.27 cm (.5") and 1.9 cm
(.75") in width, measured from end to end of the check mark.
For use on a physical label (for applying to a product or product packaging, for example)
never reproduce the logo smaller than 1.27 cm (.5") in width. When using the logo on a
website, we also recommend retaining a minimum width of 1.27 cm (.5").

2.11.1.2 Desktops (Including AIO Desktops) and Laptops Computers
Desktop computers including AIOs and laptop computers shall meet the energy efficiency
requirements of Section 3.3 in the National Standard of the People’s Republic of China GB 28380-
2012. The scope of this standard includes desktop computers for common purpose, all-in-one
microcomputers (“AIO”) with display function, and laptop computers.
This standard is not applicable to Work Station, to Industrial Personal Computer (IPC), to
microcomputers with two or above discrete GPUs as well as microcomputers with rated power
greater than 750 W. This standard is also not applicable to portable computers and AIOs with screen
size of less than 0.2946m (11.6 inch).
Definition
Off-mode: The power consumption level in the lowest power mode which cannot be switched off
(influenced) by the user and that may persist for an indefinite time when the appliance is connected
to the main electricity supply and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. For
systems where ACPI standards are applicable, Off Mode correlates to ACPI System Level S5 state.
Sleep Mode: A low power state that the computer is capable of entering automatically after a period
of inactivity or by manual selection. A computer with sleep capability can quickly “wake” in
response to network connections or user interface devices with a latency of < 5 seconds from
initiation of wake event to system becoming fully usable including rendering of display. For systems
where ACPI standards are applicable. Sleep mode most commonly correlates to ACPI System Level
S3 (suspend to RAM) state.
Idle Mode: The mode in which the operating system and other software have completed loading, a
user profile has been created, the machine is not asleep, and activity is limited to those basic
applications that the system starts by default.
Desktop Computer: A computer where the main unit is intended to be located in a permanent
location, often on a desk or on the floor. Desktops are not designed for portability and utilize an
external computer display, keyboard, and mouse. Desktops are designed for a broad range of home
and office applications.
All-In-One Computer (“AIO”): A desktop system in which the computer and computer display
function as a single unit which receives its ac power through a single cable. This kind of desktop
computers come in one of two possible forms: (1) a system where the computer display and
computer are physically combined into a single unit; or (2) a system packaged as a single system
Engineering Specification
01May2019 Page 67 of 152 Version 7.5
where the computer display is separate but is connected to the main chassis by a dc power cord and
both the computer and computer display are powered from a single power supply. As a subset of
desktop computers, All-In-One computers are typically designed to provide similar functionality as
desktop systems.
Laptop Computer: A computer designed specifically for portability and to be operated for extended
periods of time either with or without a direct connection to an ac power source. Laptop computers
must utilize an integrated display and be capable of operation off of an integrated battery or other
portable power source. In addition, most laptop computers use an external power supply and have an
integrated keyboard and pointing device. Laptop computers are typically designed to provide similar
functionality to desktops, including operation of software similar in functionality as that used in
desktops. Tablet PCs, which may use touch-sensitive screens along with or instead of other input
devices, are considered Laptop Computers in this specification.
Typical Energy Consumption (TEC): A method of testing and comparing the energy performance of
computers, which focuses on the typical electricity consumed by a product while in normal
operation during a representative period of time. For Desktops and Laptops, the key criterion of the
TEC approach is a value for typical annual electricity use, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), using
measurements of average operational mode power levels scaled by an assumed typical usage model
(duty cycle).

2.11.2 Requirements for Korea
Standby Product meeting standby power criteria : e-Standby Warning Label Products
(Mandatory)
In 2008, certain products were designated as requiring mandatory energy efficiency labeling.
Therefore, besides the best e-standby product labeling program (voluntary), manufacturers or
importers of certain MKE and KEMCO designated electric appliances (“e-Standby Warning Label
Products”) must test covered products by a designated testing institution and report the testing result
to KEMCO. If the standby power falls short of the e-standby power reduction criteria the
manufacturer or importer is legally obliged to attach an e-Standby Warning Label.
MKE and KEMCO designated the following 7 products as e-Standby Warning Label Products:
computers, monitors, printers, multifunction devices, televisions, set top boxes, and microwave
ovens. However, this mandatory labeling system became effective only with respect to
televisions as of August 28, 2008; it will further become effective with respect to the remaining six
products as of July 1, 2009. In addition, beginning January 1, 2010, almost all target products of
the e-Standby Program will become the target products of the e-Standby Warning Label system.

Battery Chargers: California
The California Appliance Efficiency Regulations (California Code of Regulations [CCR],
Title 20, Sections 1601 to 1609) contain definitions, test methods, energy efficiency standards,
certification requirements, and marking requirements for state-regulated battery charger systems and
federally regulated battery chargers. The California Energy Commission has modified these
regulations to align the state requirements with the U.S. Department of Energy’s requirements for
these products. (See Docket #18-AAER-02 [Appliance Efficiency Standards Rulemaking for Portable
Electric Spas and Battery Chargers]; Docket #18-AAER-10 [Amendments to Title 20 Appliance
Efficiency Regulations Rulemaking].)
This regulatory advisory applies to two types of products:
1. Federally regulated battery chargers are battery chargers manufactured on or after June 13,
2018, to which a federal efficiency standard applies. A federally regulated battery charger is
Engineering Specification
01May2019 Page 95 of 152 Version 7.5
defined as, “a device that charges batteries for consumer products, including battery chargers
embedded in other consumer products.” (10 C.F.R. § 430.2; see also 10 C.F.R. § 430.32(z)
for efficiency standards.) Examples include cell phone battery chargers, electric toothbrush
battery chargers (wet-inductive), and power tool battery chargers. Under federal law, the date
of manufacture means either the date of manufacture if manufactured in the United States, or
the date of import into the United States.(10 C.F.R. § 430.2, definition of “manufacture.”)
2. State-regulated small battery charger systems are products meeting California’s definition
for a “small battery charger system” and that are not federally regulated battery chargers.
Examples include forklift battery chargers, dry-inductive battery chargers, and battery
chargers for nonconsumer products. Small battery charger systems are defined in Section
1602(w) of Title 20 of the CCR. This regulatory advisory is not applicable to state-regulated
battery charger systems that are battery backups or non-federally regulated uninterruptible
power supplies.
Manufacturers may voluntarily certify federally regulated battery chargers to MAEDbS using the
new appliance sub-type on or after June 13, 2018.
Beginning January 1, 2019, all federally regulated battery chargers must appear in MAEDbS to be
lawful for sale or offer for sale in California. Products not included in the federal scope that meet the
definition of a battery charger system will remain regulated as state-regulated battery charger
systems and may be referred for enforcement if they are not certified to MAEDbS.
See California Energy Commission Appliance Efficiency Regulations for more details, including
further definitions and effective dates. Web site is at http://www.energy.ca.gov/appliances/. Some
effective dates are referenced later in this section.

The appliances must be tested in accordance with Sections 1603 and 1604 of the California Energy
Commission Appliance Efficiency Regulations at an approved test laboratory or an approved
industry certification program.
Battery chargers in scope of these requirements must be certified in the California Energy
Commission’s Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDBS). In Docket #18-
AAER-02, the Energy Commission adopted regulatory changes to modify the marking requirements
for battery chargers to require that only state-regulated battery charger systems be marked with a
“BC” inside of a circle. Federally regulated battery chargers become covered by the U.S.
Department of Energy on June 13, 2018; however, the Energy Commission anticipates that the
changes to the California regulations will not take effect until October 1, 2018, after they are
approved by the Office of Administrative Law. Therefore, Energy Commission staff will not refer
for enforcement federally regulated battery chargers manufactured on or after June 13, 2018, that are
not marked with a (BC).
State-regulated battery charger systems must continue to comply with the requirement to mark the
device with a “BC” inside of a circle, as required under Section 1607(d)(10) of Title 20 of the CCR.
For British Columbia (BC): Products manufactured on or after June 2, 2018, are exempt from the
energy efficiency verification label requirement including verification by the designated tester that
the product meets the efficiency standard. The label exemption allows products which are compliant
Engineering Specification
01May2019 Page 100 of 152 Version 7.5
with the US Department of Energy (DOE) standards to be imported into BC without additional
third-party testing. The BC energy device categories (product classes) and corresponding efficiency
standard (maximum Unit Energy Consumption) are aligned with the US DOE battery charger
standard (10 CFR 430.32 (z)). The testing procedure for all product categories is CSA C381.2-17
which is aligned with the U.S. DOE test standard (US CFR Title 10, Part 430, Subpart B, Appendix
Y).
For Canada (requirements apply to battery chargers manufactured on or after June 13, 2019):
A battery charger must have a unit energy consumption (UEC) that is less than or equal to that set
out for the battery charger’s product class in Table C.1 of CSA C381.2-17. Canada has adopted the
definition for battery chargers as listed in CSA C381.2-17. See definition above.
Information, as listed in the Canada Energy Regulation must be submitted to the respective
Canadian minister
a) its product class;
b) its rated battery energy (E), expressed in watt-hours;
c) its unit energy consumption expressed in kilowatt-hours per year;
d) its power, expressed in watts, when it is in active mode, maintenance mode and standby

Definitions
Server - means a computing product that provides services and manages networked resources for
client devices, such as desktop computers, notebook computers, desktop thin clients, internet protocol
(IP) tele-phones, smart phones, tablets, telecommunication, automated systems or other servers. A
server is typically placed on the market for use in data centers and office and corporate environments.
A server is primarily accessed via network connections, and not through direct user input devices,
such as a keyboard or a mouse; A server has the following characteristics:
(a) Is designed to support server operating systems (OS) and/or hypervisors, and targeted to run
user-installed enterprise applications;
(b) Supports error-correcting code (ECC) and/or buffered memory (including both buffered dual
in-line memory modules (DIMMs) and buffered on board (BOB) configurations);
