Digger for Sale - EPA Cert

I’m looking at a digger for sale in an auction outside of Ireland and it says it’s CE marked but “no EPA”..... so I take it it means no EPA cert. My question is does a digger have to have a EPA cert to be able to import it into Ireland ?? I presumed if it was CE marked it could go anywhere in the EU.

I may be wrong but I think epa is a usa standard.you should be ok with ce certification.
nick...
Thanks for that. I’m still not sure and finding it difficult to get an answer to it, but will keep on researching into it as don’t was to get caught with something purchased and can’t get it brought in here.

No I don’t believe it’s a scam as I have seen a good few machines for sale in different locations with no EPA advertised
The reason I said it , was because it was a very common trick on a certain notorious website, to advertise vehicles for sale very cheap s/hand because there LHD or reverse in the wrong domain.
Often for sale because owner emigrated to USA with his favourite Golf now cant sell it 20k miles £1,000 . Buyer thinks £1,000 to bring back to UK and he has £5,000 car , what could possibly go wrong?
just like that cheap tractor in the Shetlands
