CPV 430 – Mining, Quarrying and Construction Machinery

What does CPV 430 cover?

CPV Group 430 covers the full range of machinery used in mining, quarrying and construction operations, procured by public contracting authorities. This includes earthmoving machinery such as excavators, bulldozers and wheeled loaders; road and civil engineering machinery such as asphalt pavers, road rollers and concrete equipment; underground and opencast mining machinery; drilling, boring and piling equipment for geotechnical applications; and tracked vehicles for specialised construction and civil protection operations.

As the root group within Division 43, Group 430 is used when a procurement encompasses multiple machinery types across the division's subgroups, or when a specific subgroup classification is not applicable. Municipal public works departments, state highway authorities and civil engineering contractors supplying equipment to public projects all fall within the scope of this group's procurement needs.

Machinery under CPV 430 must comply with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and carry CE marking. Outdoor machinery and equipment must comply with Directive 2000/14/EC on outdoor noise, which sets permissible sound power levels for construction machinery operating in the open air. The EU Stage V emission standard (Regulation (EU) 2016/1628) applies to non-road mobile machinery engines and is relevant for all diesel-powered construction equipment. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.

Public Contracting Authorities

State road construction authorities, municipal public works departments, port authorities, civil protection services, publicly owned quarrying operations and airport authorities are among the primary procurers under CPV 430. Capital machinery procurement is typically managed through competitive tender procedures above EU thresholds, with whole-life cost and service network coverage as key evaluation criteria.

Companies and Bidders

Construction machinery manufacturers, earthmoving equipment dealers, road construction machinery suppliers and drilling equipment companies are the primary bidders under CPV 430. CE marking, Stage V emission compliance and compliance with the Outdoor Noise Directive 2000/14/EC are mandatory. Service network coverage, spare parts availability and operator training provision are important evaluation criteria.
