Progress is being made in the fight to restrict
non-compliant pumps entering the UK market, according to a recent report from H&V News (18 February 2016).
For many years there has been an issue with imported pumps
not meeting the requirements of the Energy-related Products Directive (ErPD),
which sets minimum energy-efficiency standards for products sold in the European
Union.
The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) has
previously raised its concerns over illegal pumps being imported into the UK,
urging the National Measurement Regulatory Office (NRMO) to take action.
Following a meeting between the BPMA and NRMO, the latter
has declared its intention to investigate pumps “where there are suspicions of
non-compliance,” and remove those that are found to be in breach of ErPD
regulations. This action will begin in April 2016.
Here at Gibbons we are committed to providing high-quality
equipment that complies with all necessary legislation. This is why we’re proud
to supply pumps from leading manufacturer Lowara,
including their range of high-performance
submersible pumps for clean and dirty-water applications.
