M/476 - Speed & Power Drive System
Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of variable speed drives and/or Power Drive System products
Mandate M/476 authorizes CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop and standardize requirements for variable speed drives and Power Drive System products. The mandate aims to harmonize standards across the European Union to support interoperability, safety, and energy efficiency in these systems. The decision regarding this mandate was addressed in resolution CEN/BT C17/2011, ensuring coordinated standardisation efforts among the European Standardisation Organisations in the field of speed and power drive technologies.
Purpose
The mandate M/476 aims to initiate and coordinate standardisation activities in the field of variable speed drives and Power Drive System products. The objective is to develop harmonised standards that support the interoperability, safety, efficiency, and performance of these systems in the European market.
Standardisation request
The mandate is directed to the three European standardisation organisations: CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI. These bodies are tasked with elaborating and adopting standards related to variable speed drives and power drive systems. The focus includes products that manage adjustable or variable speed drives, ensuring they meet specified technical and safety requirements.
Expected deliverables
While specific deliverables are not detailed in the metadata, typically such mandates result in:
- Harmonised European standards covering the design, performance, safety, and testing of variable speed drives and power drive systems.
- Technical specifications facilitating interoperability and integration of these systems.
- Guidelines supporting manufacturers and users in complying with relevant EU directives and regulations.
Context
Variable speed drives and power drive systems are critical components in industrial automation, energy efficiency, and motor control applications. Standardisation in this field ensures market fairness, product compatibility, and safety, enhancing the internal market and supporting EU policies on energy and industrial innovation.
This mandate was adopted following the resolution reference CEN/BT C17/2011 and is part of ongoing efforts to update and harmonise standards within the European Union.
The mandate covers the standardisation of variable speed drives and power drive system products, focusing on their design, performance, safety, and interoperability in various sectors where such drives are used. It aims to support harmonised standards to facilitate market access and compliance with EU regulations for these products.

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/476 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of variable speed drives and/or Power Drive System products". Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of variable speed drives and/or Power Drive System products 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.
