ACOUSTICS2008/1291 Evaluation of Directive 2000/14/EC on Outdoor Machinery Noise
The European Directive 2000/14/EC sets a requirement for noise labelling for the sound power level of 57 types
of outdoor equipment, and sound power limits for 22 of these. In the NOMEVAL project the Directive and
its amendment 2005/88/EC were evaluated, resulting in recommendations for an update of the equipment
list, the noise limits and the test codes. A European database of noise emission data was assessed, and
environmental bodies and industry were consulted. The recommendations were also based on environmental,
technical and economic impact assessments. A new environmental indicator was applied to rank the impact
of the different equipment types. It was found that many types currently without noise limits have a higher
impact than those with noise limits. Some new types of equipment have been identified including snowmobiles,
mobile waste breakers and screens, motorised brooms, handheld cut-off saws and power pruners. The technical
impact assessment was based on current technology and trends and the feasibility of new or stricter limits.
The economic impact assessment was based on estimated societal benefits versus the estimated additional cost
to the consumer or purchaser. Finally, a number of instruments for further reduction of outdoor equipment
noise were proposed.
