Electric pumps (commercial buildings, drinking water, food, agriculture)

Requirements for electric pumps will be voted on in Regulatory Committee on 16 December 2011.

According to the proposal an electric pump is defined as a pump used for clean water duty of three categories: Single stage end suction water pumps, vertical multistage water pumps and submersible multistage pumps (see Annex II for further characteristics).

Minimum energy efficiency requirements are introduced in two phases: one year and four years after the measure has come into force.

The Commission encourages Member States to set public procurement requirements for pumps with minimum energy efficiency values of the second phase (see Annex I) already from the beginning of the measure.
