Illegal pumps soon to be strictly regulated

With environmental issues going viral for the past few years, energy efficiency of home products is redefined to meet the current situation. It’s doubtless that, on a residential basis, when people choose the compliant products, they’re making contribution to the earth. However, without inspections, how could we know if the products are really compliant?

 

 

According to an article from HVP magazine, continued evidence of illegal pump imports entering the UK market has resulted in the British Pump Manufacturer’s Association (BPMA) calling once again for tighter enforcement of such products. These pumps, often from countries outside the EU (particularly Asia), do not meet the strict demands of the Energy Related Products Directive (ErP Directive) raising significant concerns relating to their operational safety and efficiency levels.

 

 

The BPMA met with National Measurement Regulatory Office (NMRO) executives in 2016 to find out why no discernible progress had been made. During this meeting, the NMRO confirmed that several ‘suspect’ circulator pumps had been purchased in order to be tested. One of the key concerns raised by the BPMA is that, while circulator pumps were the first to be regulated under the ErP Directive, many other and far more complicated pumps are set to follow. It is therefore of imperative that the correct procedures are put in place now, to ensure effective surveillance across the full breadth of regulated products. In the meantime, installers are encouraged to get in contact with the BPMA if they come across any pump product they believe is in breach of the ErP Directive.
