  The Technical Regulation establishes ecodesign requirements for electric motors and 
variable speed drives, also if they are integrated in other products, to be placed on the 
market and/or p ut into service.  
The Technical Regulation addresses all environmental impacts throughout the entire life 
cycle of electric motors and variable speed drives from concept, design, production, use 
and disposal, which will allow the products that have the grea test negative impact on the 
environment to be gradually removed from the market.  
The Technical Regulation corresponds to Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/1781 of 01 
October 2019 laying down ecodesign requirements for electric motors and variable speed 
drives pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, 
amending Regulation (EC) No 641/2009 with regard to ecodesign requirements for 
glandless standalone circulators and glandless circulators integrated in products and 
repealin g Commission Regulation (EC) No 640/2009.  
Currently, in Ukraine operates the Technical Regulation on Ecodesign Requirements for 
Electric Motors, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 157 
of 27 February 2019 (notified as G/TB T/N/UKR/122, G/TBT/N/UKR/122/Add.1), which 
was developed on the basis of Commission Regulation (EC) No 640/2009 of 22 July 2009 
implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with 
regard to ecodesign requirements for electr ic motors (repealed).  
After this Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine enters into force, the Technical 
Regulation on ecodesign requirements for electric motors, approved by the Resolution of 
the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 157 of 27 Fe bruary 2019, will be canceled.  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable:  Consumer information, labelling; Protection of human health or safety;

8. Relevant documents:   
Law of Ukraine "On Technical Regulations and Conformity Assessment"  
9. Proposed date of adoption:  To be determined  
Proposed date of entry into force:  Six months from the date of termination or
