Guide on Green Public Procurement: Construction Machines

The procurement of low-noise and low-emission construction machines is to result in a reduction of the noise, exhaust gas and particle emissions.

The guide itself contains the main information and recommendations which are relevant for the public procurement bodies for including environmental aspects in the tender and contractual documents. The tenderer questionnaire on green procurement of construction machines is intended as annex to the specifications. The guide is based on the criteria of the Blue Angel environmental label for Construction Machines (RAL-UZ 53), version of February 2015.
