CPV 423 – Industrial and Laboratory Furnaces, Incinerators

What does CPV 423 cover?

CPV Group 423 covers industrial and laboratory furnaces, incinerators and high-temperature processing equipment procured by public contracting authorities. This includes waste incineration plants and individual incinerator units for municipal solid waste and clinical waste; cremation furnaces for public crematoria; laboratory muffle furnaces and tube furnaces for research and university institutions; industrial kilns for ceramics and materials testing; and high-temperature processing equipment for foundries and metallurgical facilities.

Municipal waste management companies and publicly owned crematoria represent two of the most significant procurement contexts within CPV 423. Waste incinerators must comply with the EU Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and specific emission limit values for waste incineration under the Waste Incineration BREF. Clinical waste incinerators for hospitals must meet stringent emission and operating standards. Cremation furnaces for public crematoria require compliance with national air quality and planning regulations.

Laboratory furnaces are procured by universities, research institutes and quality control laboratories operated by public bodies. These range from small bench-top muffle furnaces to large high-temperature tube furnaces for materials characterisation. All equipment must comply with EU machinery safety requirements under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, and gas-fired appliances must additionally meet the Gas Appliances Regulation (EU) 2016/426. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
