​The Noise Emission in the Environment by Equipment for Use Outdoors (Amendment) Regulations 2025 (GB Regulations 2025) introduces updates to the 2001 Regulations in Great Britain. – Updated Noise Testing Methods: The regulations will modernize testing methods for measuring airborne noise from outdoor equipment to improve protection for machine operators and those nearby from high noise levels. – Flexible Testing Methods: Manufacturers of certain equipment can choose between using the existing testing methods or the newly updated methods. – Transitional Provisions: Provisions are included for equipment already on the market to ease the transition to new rules. – Reduced Administrative Burden: The obligation for businesses to send a copy of the declaration of conformity to the national enforcement authority will be removed, reducing unnecessary paperwork for businesses. – CE Recognition Continued: The regulations ensure that equipment conforming to the updated EU Directive 2000/14/EC can continue to be sold in Great Britain, thereby maintaining alignment through continued CE recognition. These changes aim to modernize noise emission testing, reduce administrative costs for businesses, and ensure continued access to compliant equipment.
