| Notified Document Details | <p style="margin:2px !important;">Draft Commission Regulation laying down ecodesign requirements for electric motors and variable speed drives pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 640/2009 (and its accompanying annexes) (10 pages + Annex 13 pages, in English)</p> |
| ICS Code | |
| Covered Products | <p style="margin:2px !important;">Electric motors and variable speed drives</p> |
| Description of Content | This draft Commission Regulation sets minimum energy performance for electric motors and variable speed drives, as there exists a cost-effective potential to limit their energy consumption. In accordance with Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC, products not meeting these requirements will not be allowed to be placed on the EU market. The draft Regulation is based on the findings of a technical, environmental and economic study, which has been carried out with stakeholders. The draft Regulation repeals Regulation (EC) No 640/2009 with regard to ecodesign requirements for electric motors. |
| Objectives & Rationale | <p style="margin:2px !important;"><span style="font-face: Verdana;">The aim is to continue to remove the worst performing electric motors and variable speed drives from the market, thereby pushing the market towards more energy efficiency and environmentally friendly products. It will contribute to increase energy efficiency and to the fight against climate change in the EU.</span></p> |
