(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Noise Emission in the Environment by Equipment for Use Outdoors Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/1701), as amended by S.I. 2001/3958.
These Regulations implement European Parliament and Council Directive 2005/88/EC (OJ No. L344, 27.12.2005, p44) which amends European Parliament and Council Directive 2000/14/EC (OJ No. L162, 3.7.2000, p1) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the noise emission in the environment by equipment for use outdoors.
The table in these Regulations amends the sound power limits for the following categories of equipment—
walk-behind vibrating rollers;
vibratory plates (>3 kW);
vibratory rammers;
dozers (steel tracked);
loaders (steel tracked >55 kW);
combustion-engine driven counterbalanced lift trucks;
compacting screed paver-finishers;
hand-held internal combustion-engine concrete-breakers and picks (15<m<30); and
single engine mobile cranes.
