Directive on noise emission by equipment used outdoors
This proposal aims to reduce noise pollution by setting stricter limits on the noise levels produced by equipment used outdoors. By harmonizing standards across the EU, the procedure seeks to protect public health and improve the quality of life in urban and rural environments.
Manufacturers of outdoor machinery and consumers will be affected. The rules will likely require new technical standards for equipment design to ensure lower noise emissions.
