17.4.2 External Noise Regulation Update
25th JTLM16~17th. April, 2015
Korea Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association
• Revision of External Noise Regulation(By KME, 14th Feb, 2014)
- This revision purpose to minimize the noise damage caused by construction equipment
- Limit values is based on EU Directive 2000/14/EC, but modified.
• Scope
- Excavators, Rollers, Loaders, Air Compressor
• Exception
- The regulation does not cover the loaders* which are used for agricultural purpose.
*skid-steer loaders, track-type loaders

• The Eco-Labelling Program (Voluntary certification) - The Eco-Labelling Program aims at providing accurate environmental information to consumers and to induce manufacturers to develop eco-friendly products by affixing the Eco-Label on products causing relatively less pollution or using less resources in the production.
- Since 2005, Construction machinery started to acquire the Eco-Label by Low noise construction machinery certification.
• Scope - 21 machines are recognized(see appendix.) • Requirement - Meet the noise limits(stage II) in EU Directive 2000/14/EC
• Incentives - Benefit for government procurement bids - Purchase obligations of public authorities - Support environmental labeling certification in overseas (Japan, China, Thailand, New Zealand, etc)
