# The Noise Emission in the Environment by Equipment for Use Outdoors (Amendment) Regulations 2005, Schedule

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Type of equipment
Net installed power P (in kW)
Electric power Pel in kW
Mass of appliance m in kg
Cutting width L in cm
Permissible sound power level in dB/1 pW
Stage I as from 3 January 2002
Stage II as from 3 January 2006
a Pel for welding generators: conventional welding current multiplied by the conventional load voltage for the lowest value of the duty factor given by the manufacturer. Pel for power generators: prime power according to ISO 8528-1:1993, clause 13.3.2.
b For the following types of equipment the figures for Stage I shall continue to apply for Stage II—
Walk-behind vibrating rollers;
Vibratory plates (>3 kW);
Vibratory rammers;
Dozers (steel tracked);
Loaders (steel tracked >55 kW);
Combustion-engine driver counterbalanced lift trucks;
Compacting screed paver-finishers; and
Hand-held internal combustion-engine concrete-breakers and picks (15< m<30).
c For single engine mobile cranes the figures for Stage I shall continue to apply until 3rd January 2008. After that date, Stage II figures shall apply.
