The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information Regulations 2021

Verification procedure

6.—(1) For motors with a rated power output of 375 to 1,000 kW, the market surveillance authority may decide to undertake the verification procedure at the premises of manufacturers, authorised representatives or importers before the products are put into service.

(2) The market surveillance authority may undertake verification under sub-paragraph (1) using its own testing equipment.

(3) Where factory acceptance tests are planned for motors to which this paragraph applies, and such tests will assess whether the requirements of Schedule 16 are met, the market surveillance authority may decide to use witnessed testing during these tests to gather test results which can be used to verify compliance of the motor under investigation.

(4) The market surveillance authority may require a manufacturer, authorised representative or importer to disclose information on any planned factory acceptance tests relevant for witnessed testing.

(5) In a case to which this paragraph applies, the market surveillance authority must test one single unit of the model.

(6) If a requirement imposed by the market surveillance authority under sub-paragraph (4) is not complied with, the authority may determine that the model concerned does not conform to these Regulations.
