International Standards

Current Global Motor Energy Efficiency Standards

EMSA offers an overview of current international standards for electric motors and Variable Speed Drives, as well as for pumps, fans and air compressors.

Activities In The Field Of Standardisation

Several EMSA representatives are directly involved in the international standardisation as national experts in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

EMSA members are directly involved in the above IEC committees and groups.

ISO/IEC JAG 22 Optimized Energy and Power Consumption of Electric Driven Machine Units

Led by EMSA and ACEE, discussion within the international standardisation community resulted in the establishment of the ISO & IEC Joint Advisory Group: JAG 22. Its role is to advise, guide and co-ordinate activities in ISO and IEC relating to optimise the energy consumption of Electric Driven Machine Units.

The Joint Advisory Group currently has 27 members nominated from the respective National Committees of 10 countries. IEC TC 2 (electric motors), IEC SC 22G (VSDs) and ISO TC 117 (fans) are the three founders of JAG 22. Other committees like ISO TC 115 (pumps), ISO TC 118 (compressors) as well as other interested ISO and IEC committees are invited to participate.

JAG 22 is a unique example of global co-operation, bringing together industry and independent experts in addressing all aspects of Electric Driven Machine Units to maximise the possible energy savings.
