Social Responsibility of the CEMEP
Manufacturing Industries
We have to face a global evolution in all areas and our industrial sector in Europe is ready to
compete but also to pay the necessary attention to social responsibility aspects
We have to evaluate the existing “technical” shifts on social, economic, technical and political
as well as ethical levels. All these processes are sustained by and for people
This means that we need a new framework but also considering the competence and
intelligence of the individuals.
This new approach exists today in the concept of Better Regulation and Circular
Economy
We as CEMEP are taking part of this innovative process and we need to be involved more and
more. We need Europe
Main Tasks and Activities
In our Industrial Groups we are discussing about the future requirements in different
fields, for example:
Ecodesign Lot 30 Motors and Drives
Digitization (ICT)
WEEE 2 (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment )
REACH (phthalic anhydrides …) (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and
Restriction of Chemicals)
Standardization aspects (tolerances for motors, new Mandates …)
…
The principle of a better regulation
CEMEP supports the approach that a European regulation in conjunction with a European standard
lays down the requirements for eco-friendly design of motors
EU’s product policy should pursue the “better regulation” agenda always! There are however several
contradictory situations
For example while the Circular Economy Package places a greater emphasis on the availability of
spare parts, the Ecodesign requirements for motors forbid to use spare parts and make it difficult to
repair these products
Another example is related to the additional Mandate M 543 of the European Commission that already
requests standardization for increasing the raw material efficiency but adversely affects the
component efficiency (Mandates M/470 and M/476) which requires more raw materials
We are not interested in consuming more material but we strongly want to be more innovative and to
put more intelligence in or products and systems thanks to the competences in our companies
CEMEP therefore calls the European policy makers for a careful application of the “better
regulation” principle with a coordinated and homogeneous approach. Otherwise the result is
to confuse the market and hinder the Industry

Energy savings with line-fed asynchronous motors, even of an IE4 class are poor compared
with the potential (200 TWh) of variable-speed driven equipment, when it benefits from adapting
the speed (e.g. pumps, compressors, fans etc.)
At 11 kW, energy savings with variable-speed (PDS) of IES1 class against the IE1 motor
IE1 PDS (IES1)
Energy savings 0% >55%

BREXIT
The balance between technical, economic and environmental feasibility is addressed in the
product design, with the ultimate aim of producing a functional and safe product
To design products that are complex as well as sustainable requires scope for innovation
For example for all considerations regarding potential expansion of Ecodesign requirements,
CEMEP calls for consistent attention of the relevance and avoidance of double regulation.
Components like a motor or a VSD are in fact used in many other products
CEMEP therefore calls the European policy makers to apply the product policies
paying attention without causing restrictions for this trend to innovation
Market surveillance in Europe
Market Surveillance is one of the key points for the right implementation of all the measures
that touches the competitivity of an industrial sector
For Cemep sectors market surveillance is mainly related to the Ecodesign Lot 30 Regulation
At present, market surveillance performs very few checks for cost reasons
The member states shall designate the authorities responsible for market surveillance and
specify the necessary tasks, powers and organizational arrangements. The market
surveillance itself checks the identification and mandatory information on the product: the
Declaration of Conformity and technical documents and device characteristics (random
samples), particularly the efficiency that is measured in a certified laboratory.
CEMEP asks the EU and the Member States to fulfill their duty and take care of a fair
competition in Europe. There is no need for further regulation, product database or
additional labels. First, we have to follow the existing system that the authorities are
responsible for market surveillance
European demand for the CEMEP motor market
European market demand of LV Motors
in the range of the Efficiency Classes
IE2 - IE4
Comments:
• The basis are about 3.0 million motors sold p.a. in Europe - many of them are embedded in
machinery, which may be exported outside of Europe.
• The motor manufactures in CEMEP have already invested in new and challenging
technologies. However, the European market demand seems to be ok for IE3 but low for IE4.
• Developing the industrial market acceptance needs a longer process (~ 2 to 3 years) than
just short regulative timing slots (2011, 2015, 2017). The economic situation of the machine
builders as well as the commitment for system improvement are decisive for the evolvement
of the shares of IE2, IE3 and IE4 motors
Conclusion:
• The efficiency of applied motors which are not in the scope of the Ecodesign regulation no
640/200, should be as high as appropriate. Therefore, deeper understanding about
applicative life cycle costs and system efficiency is necessary.
• Persuasive actions are desired in order to support an increasing understanding of the market
mechanism, which may result in an appropriate understanding for the right efficiency classes
on the European market.
Summary and Future Expectations
CEMEP to protect the European social responsibility for 130.000 employees in the motors and
drives manufacturing industries !
CEMEP to strengthen the national market surveillance but balanced to protecting the industrial
expertise and economics !
CEMEP to stop the “battle of materials” and to showing “eco-design” alternatives (e.g.
Extended Product Approach), for improving industrial efficiency !
CEMEP to defend the industrial trend for innovation avoiding European policies potential cause
of restrictions on the freedom of the designers
CEMEP to collaborate with non-European associations but rejecting new global labelling
programs !
Thank you!
