Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM)
Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) is a broad category which includes:
- mobile machines
- transportable industrial equipment
- vehicles which are fitted with an internal combustion engine that are not intended for transporting goods or passengers on roads
NRMM, particularly from the construction sector, is a significant contributor to London’s air pollution. The NRMM Low Emission Zone uses the Mayor and London Borough’s planning powers to control emissions from NRMM used on construction sites.
In a similar way to the Ultra-Low Emission Zone the NRMM Low Emission Zone requires that all engines with a power rating between 37 kW and 560 kW meet an emission standard based on the engine emission “stage”.
The standards that need to be met depend on where the construction site Is, details can found on the GLA Website
In Croydon, All major developments are required to submit a Construction Logistics Plan (CLP) or Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) prior to commencement; this should include details to demonstrate compliance with NRMM guidelines. NRMM audits are conducted as part of the Pan-London NRMM Project which is funded by the Mayor of London.
