6. Special audible warning devices

7.

8. The draft decree submitted provides for:
- limit values set at 100 dB(A) during the day and 90 dB(A) at night, measured at 7 metres from the emergency vehicle;
- a harmonisation of the technical characteristics (frequency, tones and sound levels) of audible warning devices for all priority vehicles;
- implementation in phases (two-year compliance plan);
- a primarily preventive control framework through the establishment of a certificate of conformity issued by the installer ensuring that the special audible warning devices installed on the priority vehicle comply with Brussels legislation. This certificate can be verified outside emergency interventions;

9. The draft Decree of the Government of the Brussels-Capital Region aims, within the framework of regional competences, to reduce the population’s exposure to noise from emergency vehicle sirens, without restricting the safety of priority missions and while respecting federal loyalty.

It is therefore necessary to identify the maximum noise levels to be imposed on priority vehicles (at reception – regional competence) so that they remain audible by other road users in view of the particular traffic conditions and the ambient noise level, which is relatively high in the city, and thus avoid the use of multiple audible warning devices which cause harmful exposure for residents, all in accordance with the other legislation in force. In particular, the Federal State has jurisdiction over the traffic code (in particular for the use of sirens).
