The efficiency of a rated power below the midpoint between 2 consecutive values from the tables shall be the lowest of the two efficiencies.’; (b) Part 2 is amended as follows: (1) in the first paragraph, point (a) is replaced by the following: ‘(a) the technical data sheet or user manual supplied with the motor, unless an internet link to that information is supplied with the product. A QR code may in addition be supplied with a link to the information.’; (2) in the third paragraph, the introductory wording and point (1) are replaced by the following: ‘From 1 July 2021 for motors referred to in Annex I.1 (a), and from 1 July 2023 for motors referred to in Annex I.1 (b) (i): (1) rated efficiency (η N ) at the full, 75 % and 50 % rated load, and rated voltage(s) (U N ), determined based on 25 °C ambient reference temperature, rounded to one decimal place;’; (3) the eighth and ninth paragraphs are replaced by the following: ‘For motors exempt from the efficiency requirements in accordance with point 2(m) of Article 2 of this Regulation, the motor or its packaging and the documentation must clearly indicate “Motor to be used exclusively as spare part for” and the unique model identification of the product(s) for which it is intended. For 50 Hz and 60 Hz motors, the data set out above is provided at the applicable frequency, while for 50/60 Hz motors it is sufficient to provide the data at 50 Hz, except for the rated efficiency at full load, which shall be specified at both 50Hz and 60Hz.’; (c) Part 4 is amended as follows: (1) in the first paragraph, point (a) is replaced by the following: ‘(a) the technical data sheet or user manual supplied with the VSD, unless an internet link to that information is supplied with the product. A QR code may in addition be supplied with a link to the information.’; (2) the fourth paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The information referred to in points (1) and (2) as well as the year of manufacture shall be durably marked on or near the rating plate of the VSD. Where the size of the rating plate makes it impossible to mark all the information referred to in point (1) only the power losses in % of the rated apparent output power at (90;100), rounded to one decimal place, shall be marked.’; (2) in Annex II, part 1, the second paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘However, for the seven operating points according to Annex I.2 point (13), the losses shall be determined by either direct input-output measurement or by calculation.’; (3) Annex III is amended as follows: (a) the first paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification by Member State authorities of the declared values and shall not be used by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation or in interpreting these values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means.’; (b) the third paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘As part of verifying that a product model complies with the requirements laid down in this Regulation pursuant to Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure for the requirements referred to in Annex I.’; (c) point (7) is replaced by the following: ‘(7) The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model according to points 3, 6 or the second paragraph of this Annex.’.
