Electrical motors and generators and parts thereof

A minor update of this PCR was done 2024-10-10 with the release of version 1.0.1. This update does not influence any requirements in the PCR and as such does not influence the comparability of EPDs using versions 1.0 or 1.0.1.

This document provides product category rules (PCR) for the assessment of the environmental performance of electrical motors and generators for industrial applications, and some parts thereof (rotors and stators), and the declaration of this performance by an EPD.

Examples of industrial applications are water and waste-water pumps, cooling fans, compressors, mixers, conveyors in several industrial segments like pulp and paper, mining, power, oil and gas, marine etc.

The product category corresponds to subsets of UN CPC 46112 (Universal AC/DC motors of an output exceeding 37,5 W; other AC motors; AC generators) and UN CPC 46131 (Parts of electric motors, generators and the like).

The scope of the PCR does not include motors and generators for automation systems (which partly are covered by PCR 2019:11 AC and DC gear motors for automation systems) or synchronous condensers. Other parts than rotors and stators are also excluded.
