The energy efficiency of normalised electric motors is classified as IE1, IE2, IE3.
These new energy classes introduced with the EcoDesign Directive have replaced the old Eff3, Eff2, Eff1 and Premium.
In particular, the old class Eff3 corresponds to the lowest efficiency level and is no longer marketable.
Class Eff2 corresponds to the new class IE1 and its production has been forbidden since June 2011.
Instead, class Eff1, which is the highest of the old classification, corresponds to the new class IE2.
Only motors of at least class IE2 can be produced in the four years from 16.06.2011 to 01.01.2015 (from 27 June 2014 also for motors used in special
applications).
As from 1 January 2015, for all electric motors with power from 7.5 kW (inclusive) to 375 kW, the new minimum level will be IE3 or IE2 if controlled by an
inverter.
The same minimum level will also be extended to electric motors with power from 0.75 to 5.5 kW as from 1 January 2017.
The time schedule of circulators for heating with a wet rotor is much simpler.
Their efficiency is measured with the Energy Efficiency Index, or EEI; the lower the EEI, the better the efficiency.
So, as from 01.01.2013 it has no longer been possible to market circulators that do not have an Energy Efficiency Index of at least 0.27 or lower.
Whereas, from 01.08.2015 the index must be 0.23 or lower.
The European parliament then integrated the EcoDesign directive with the EU directive no. 547/2012 which introduces the Minimum Efficiency Index (MEI),
an efficiency index for some types of centrifugal pumps marketed as a specific product or as a product integrated in more complex systems.
The higher the MEI value, the better the sizing of the pump with respect to its performance and the lower the yearly energy consumption due to use of the
pump.
The upper limit of the MEI values is theoretically open, and depends only on physical and technological limits.
As from 1 January 2013, all the pumps concerned have had to present an MEI value ≥ 0.10, while as from January 2015 pumps can no longer be sold that
do not have a hydraulic efficiency index of MEI ≥ 0.40.
DAB AND THE ECODESIGN DIRECTIVE
For some time now, at DAB we have been actively engaged in adapting our products to the EcoDesign directive; the steps taken
so far to ensure a more and more ecocompatible range are listed below:

How can I tell whether one product is more
efficient than another? How do I know if a product complies with
the EcoDesign Directive?
If you are comparing two wet rotor circulators, just
refer to the Energy Efficiency Index: the lower the EEI, To know whether you are buying a product that
the better the efficiency. Since 2013, all electronic complies with the EcoDesign Directive, just consult
circulators manufactured by DAB have EEI ≤ 0.23. If the technical catalogue and the data plate, where you
you want to check the hydraulic efficiency of a pump will find the information concerning the electric and
for clean water, just look at the Minimum Efficiency hydraulic efficiency where required by the directive.
Index; unlike the EEI, the higher the index, the greater
the efficiency.
All the printed technical and commercial documentation has already been updated with the references to the EcoDesign Directive and with the data that it requires.
A portal has also been created on our website where all the documents linked to the product can be found (catalogues, commercial brochures and instruction manuals), always up to
date.
