M/244 - Electric Motors
Efficiency of general purpose low-voltage 3 phase induction electric motors
Mandate M/244 focuses on standardisation related to the efficiency of general-purpose low-voltage three-phase induction electric motors. Issued by the European Commission, it aims to develop harmonised standards that support energy efficiency improvements and regulatory compliance for these electric motors used widely in industrial and commercial applications. The mandate directs the European Standardisation Organisations (CEN, CENELEC, ETSI) to create technical specifications that facilitate evaluation, testing, and certification of motor efficiency, contributing to the EU's energy-saving goals and environmental policies.
Purpose
This mandate concerns the efficiency of general purpose low-voltage three-phase induction electric motors. It aims to promote the development of harmonised standards that support energy efficiency improvements and compliance with relevant European legislation.
Standardisation request
The mandate requests European standardisation organisations to develop standards related to low-voltage three-phase induction electric motors used for general purposes. These standards should focus on defining minimum energy efficiency levels, measurement methods, testing procedures, and performance criteria to ensure motors meet established efficiency requirements.
Expected deliverables
Deliverables are expected to include harmonised European standards that specify:
- Energy efficiency classes for general purpose low-voltage three-phase induction motors.
- Standardised test methods for determining motor efficiency.
- Requirements covering motor design, performance, and labeling related to energy consumption.
- Guidelines to facilitate conformity assessment and compliance verification.
Context
This mandate supports the implementation of EU energy efficiency directives and regulations aimed at reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions across the industrial and commercial sectors. Electric motors represent a significant portion of electricity use in the EU, and improving their efficiency contributes to environmental and economic benefits. The development of harmonised standards under this mandate helps create a uniform legal and market framework, fostering fair competition and facilitating the free movement of goods within the EU internal market.
This mandate covers the standardisation of efficiency requirements for general purpose low-voltage 3-phase induction electric motors. The work focuses on improving energy efficiency and performance of these electric motors used across various industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/244 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Efficiency of general purpose low-voltage 3 phase induction electric motors". Efficiency of general purpose low-voltage 3 phase induction electric motors There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
