Sound expertise to simplify Noise Emission compliance
The Noise Emissions in the Environment by Equipment for Use Outdoors Directive (2000/14/EC) was adopted by the European Parliament in July 2000. Its purpose is to harmonize the national laws of member states regarding noise emission limits and labelling requirements at the manufacturing stage.
The Directive applies to 57 types of equipment for use outdoors, which require noise emission measurements to be taken and to fix labels showing the ‘guaranteed’ noise levels of each machine. In addition, the Directive sets noise limits for 22 of the 57 categories. For equipment subject to noise limits, from compressors to generators to hydraulic hammers, the involvement of a Notified Body such as BSI Product Services will be required.
