Article 1

Directive 2000/14/EC is hereby amended as follows:

1.

The table in Article 12 shall be replaced by the following:

a

P el for welding generators: conventional welding current multiplied by the conventional load voltage for the lowest value of the duty factor given by the manufacturer.

P el for power generators: prime power according to ISO 8528-1:1993, clause 13.3.2

b

The figures for stage II are merely indicative for the following types of equipment:

  • walk-behind vibrating rollers;

  • vibratory plates (> 3kW);

  • 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)

  • lawnmowers, lawn trimmers/lawn-edge trimmers.

Definitive figures will depend on amendment of the Directive following the report required in Article 20(1). In the absence of any such amendment, the figures for stage I will continue to apply for stage II.
