                                                OF DIRECTIVE 200/14 / CE
        OF AUDITION                             The Purpose of Directive 2000/14 / EC, dated 8 May 2000, is to harmonize the laws

                                                of the Member States regarding noise emissions, compliance procedures, marking,

                                                The parameter adapted by the Directive to evaluate the noise emission level is the
                                                considered (the generator set) measured in decibels (dB).
                                                Alternatively, the generic indication of the noise level is the Acoustic Pressure Level,
         1 0 bB         GENTLE E                which depends on both the sound energy emitted by the source, and the exposure
