To access the European market, machines for outdoor use must guarantee they do not exceed the maximum noise levels specified in Directive 2000/14/EC, in order to ensure the health and welfare of the population.

The Noise Emissions for Outdoor Equipment Directive sets different evaluation levels depending on the type of machine. Machine manufacturers or their representative in the European Union are responsible for evaluating the noise emissions through testing and by issuing the declaration of conformity and subsequent CE marking.
