Ukraine - Draft Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On Approval of the Technical Regulation on Ecodesign Requirements for Electric Motors and Variable Speed Drives"

​The State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine announces the Draft Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On Approval of the Technical Regulation on Ecodesign Requirements for Electric Motors and Variable Speed Drives".

​The draft Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On Approval of the Technical Regulation on Ecodesign Requirements for Electric Motors and Variable Speed Drives" provides for the approval of the Technical Regulation in order to ensure the improvement of energy and environmental characteristics of electric motors and variable speed drives.

The Technical Regulation establishes Ecodesign requirements for electric motors and variable speed drives, also if they are integrated in other products, to be placed on the market and/or put into service.

The Technical Regulation addresses all environmental impacts throughout the entire lifecycle of electric motors and variable speed drives from concept, design, production, use and disposal, which will allow the products that have the greatest negative impact on the environment to be gradually removed from the market.

The Technical Regulation corresponds to Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/1781 of October 1, 2019 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, amending Regulation (EC) No 641/2009 with regard to Ecodesign requirements for glandless standalone circulators and glandless circulators integrated in products and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 640/2009.

Currently, in Ukraine operates the Technical Regulation on Ecodesign Requirements for Electric Motors, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 157 of February 27, 2019 (notified as G/TBT/N/UKR/122, G/TBT/N/UKR/122/Add.1), which was developed on the basis of Commission Regulation (EC) No 640/2009 of July 22, 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to Ecodesign requirements for electric motors (repealed).

After this Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine enters into force, the Technical Regulation on Ecodesign requirements for electric motors, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 157 of February 27, 2019, will be canceled.
