Abstract
This guide discusses the selection of equipment intended for the production of compressed earth blocks. An inventoriy of equipment currently marketed by firms from EEC (European Economic Community) States is included. In order to help entrepreneurs in ACP (African, Carribean and Pacific) States to make an appropriate choice, the equipment is presented in a uniform manner throught. This faciliates comparison of various features. An equipment selection procedure is proposed, based on criteria which are described in detail. The guide includes a questionnaire. When filled in, this questionnaire should enable descision-makers to select thier own equipment in full awareness of the facts, or to entrust selection to a neutral specialist organization.
