5872: Do access platforms have to comply with the London Low Emission Zone (LEZ)?
The London Low Emission Zone (LEZ) applies to vans above 1.205 tonne unladen weight and to all diesel engined lorries over 3.5 tonne. IPAF has clarified that truck mounted platforms continue to be exempted from the LEZ. Van mounts are not exempted. The LEZ does not affect self-propelled booms. More information on the LEZ
In July 2014, the Greater London Authority (GLA) released a Supplementary Planning Guidance 'The Control of Dust and Emissions from Construction and Demolition'. This document contains information outlining the new engine emission standards for NRMM in London under chapter 7, ‘Cleaner Construction Machinery for London: A Low Emission Zone for Non-Road Mobile Machinery’.
The Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) regulations have been active since 1st September 2015 and in order to comply with the GLA’s NRMM Low Emission Zone (LEZ) policy there is a requirement for developments/sites to keep an inventory of all NRMM used on site in the designated zones. The two designated zones are Greater London, and the Central Activity Zone (CAZ) and Canary Wharf; these can be viewed on the map of the NRMM Low Emissions Zone: http://nrmm.london/. The central London areas have a tighter emissions standard applied to them.
IPAF Members can contact for more guidance on the LEZ, CAZ and NRMM.
