Posted on 20 February 2009

The Regulatory Committee established by the Ecodesign for Energy Using Products Framework Directive (EuP) will meet for the fifth time on 11th March to discuss a draft Implementing Measure (via an EU Regulation) relating to electric motors and their variable speed drives. In advance of this meeting, the European Commission (EC) has circulated the draft Implementing Directive text on Ecodesign requirements for electric motors and their variable speed drives. This is the final version of the draft regulation, following on from the draft EC document circulated for comment on 23rd January.

The regulatory text can be viewed here along with the explanatory memorandum and annex.

Feedback has already been invited on the draft EC documents. Interested stakeholders are invited to make any further additional points in relation to the final text to help inform the UK position, with feedback requested by Monday 2nd March.

Responses should be sent to with 'EuP Motors' in the subject line.
