There are also grounds for authorities to support early decommissioning or engine replacement for construction machinery
Regulations on low-pollution measures for construction machinery come into effect six months after the law is promulgated
The amendment to the Noise and Vibration Management Act, which includes regulations to prevent noise from motorcycles and other motorcycles, also crossed the threshold of the National Assembly plenary session
This amendment requires the manufacturer of the motorcycle to display the exhaust noise result value on the motorcycle at the time of certification and to prevent the actual motorcycle operation from exceeding 5 decibels
A fine of up to 20 million won will be imposed if the result value of exhaust noise is not displayed or false upon certification
The amendment also included a basis for local governments to pay rewards to those who report and accuse those who removed silencers or noise covers or added horns
