(2)-(4) (Omitted as spent) (Enacted 1991) Cap 400D reg 2 Interpretation In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires- "hand held percussive breaker" (手提撞击式破碎机) means any portable breaker or pick that- (a) has a mass above 10 kg; (80 of 1997 s.102) (b) is designed for percussive operation while held by hand without any other form of support; and (c) is driven by electrical, chemical or thermal energy or by energy transmitted by compressed air, steam or hydraulic means;"mass of the breaker" (破碎机机重) means the mass of the hand held percussive breaker when it is fitted for normal use but excluding the supply tube and the chisel; "noise emission label" (噪音标签) means a noise emission label issued by the Authority under regulation 8. (Enacted 1991) Cap 400D reg 3 Prescription Hand held percussive breakers are hereby prescribed for the purposes purposes of Part III of the Ordinance. (Enacted 1991) Cap 400D reg 4 Use of hand held percussive breaker in compliance with noise standards For the purposes of section 17(1) of the Ordinance, all hand held percussive breakers shall comply with the prescribed noise emission standard for hand held percussive breakers. (Enacted 1991) Cap 400D reg 5 Noise emission standard For the purposes of sections 14, 15 and 17 of the Ordinance, the prescribed noise emission standard for hand held percussive breakers is set out in Schedule 1. (Enacted 1991) Cap 400D reg 6 Prescribed noise emission label (1) A noise emission label shall be in the form set out in Schedule 4. (2) For the purpose of section 17(1) of the Ordinance, every hand held percussive breaker shall be fitted with a noise emission label issued in respect of that hand held percussive breaker. (Enacted 1991) Cap 400D reg 7 Noise emission test conditions For the purposes of sections 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the Ordinance, the test conditions for hand held percussive breakers are the conditions set out in Schedule 2. (Enacted 1991) Cap 400D reg 8 Application for the noise emission label (1) An application for a noise emission label shall be made to the Authority in the prescribed form set out in Schedule 3 and shall be accompanied by an application fee of $405 for each noise emission label applied for. (L.N. 262 of 1994; L.N. 498 of 1996; L.N. 583 of 1997; L.N. 309 of 2000) (2) Where the Authority is satisfied on application made to him under subregulation (1) that - (a) a noise testing report certificated by a corporate member of the Institute of Acoustics of the United Kingdom that the hand held percussive breaker in respect of which the application was made complies with the standard set out in Schedule 1 when tested under the conditions set out in Schedule 2, has been issued; or (b) an EEC type-examination certificate has been granted by an approved body appointed by any European Community member state under the European Council Directive 84/537/EEC in respect of the hand held percussive breaker; and (c) an application fee of $405 for each noise emission label applied for has been paid, (L.N. 262 of 1994; L.N. 498 of 1996; L.N. 583 of 1997; L.N. 309 of 2000)the Authority shall issue to the applicant a noise emission label or labels applied for. (3) Not later than 28 days after an application made under subregulation (1) is received by the Authority, the Authority shall issue a noise emission label or labels applied for or serve on the applicant written notice of his refusal to issue the noise emission label or labels, and if at the end of those 28 days he has done neither of those things, a noise emission label or labels shall be deemed to have been issued. (4) No fee paid in respect of an application for a noise emission label shall be liable to be refunded. (Enacted 1991) Cap 400D Sched 1 NOISE EMISSION STANDARD [regulations 5 & 8] Mass of the Breaker Maximum Permissible Sound Power Level in dB(A) Above 10 kg and below 20 kg 108 Equal to or above 20 kg and equal to or below 35 kg 111 Above 35 kg 114 (Enacted 1991) Cap 400D Sched 2 TEST CONDITIONS FOR MEASURING AIRBORNE NOISE EMITTED BY POWERED HAND HELD PERCUSSIVE BREAKERS [regulations 7 & 8] 1. OBJECT 1.1 The purpose of this test is to determine the noise emitted by hand held percussive breakers. 1.2 Both measured and calculated values obtained by this test constitute the basic data for checking that the noise emission of hand held percussive breakers complies with the prescribed standard. 2. SCOPE 2.1 This test is applicable to powered hand held percussive breakers (hereinafter referred to as "appliances"). The test specifies the procedures for use in determining the sound power level of such appliances for the purpose of testing as to conformity under the Noise Control (Hand Held Percussive Breakers) Regulations. |
