Pump Manufacturers (Europump).
BPMA members account for approximately 85% of total
UK production of pumps and the UK Pump Industry is a
net exporter.
ABOUT THE BPMA
Established in 1941, and incorporated as a company
limited by guarantee in 2009 the British Pump
Manufacturers’ Association Limited (BPMA) is the
UK Trade Association representing the interests of
UK manufacturers of liquid pumps.
Its mission is to influence the pump sector business
environment in the interests of members’ competitiveness
and sustainability and to increase sector awareness by
providing technical support and pump technology training

as its new Technical Services Officer.
Having held several roles
for Xylem in both the UK
and Italy, Gary brings over
30 years of pump industry
experience to this newly
created position, including
more than a decade serving
on the BPMA’s Circulator
Pumps Committee.
He combines in-depth
technical knowledge with a
range of sales and
marketing skills, along with
a strong understanding of
key market sectors,
including distributors,
installers and end-users.
Initially, his role at the
BPMA will be to instigate
and manage a number of
special projects, but
ultimately, this will expand to encompass the majority of
technical functions within the organisation.

Attendees at the recent AGM were among the first to
hear details of a new magazine from the BPMA,
launched in March this year.
An exciting new addition to the BPMA portfolio, flow will be
published quarterly and is the only UK title aimed exclusively
at users of liquid pumps, pumping systems and associated
equipment.
Unlike its predecessor, the new magazine will be a stand-alone
publication with a dedicated circulation made up of
engineering professionals from a broad section of industries –
but all with interest in the design, specification and
maintenance of pumps and pumping systems. For the first
time, this highly targeted readership will offer organisations
supplying pumps and pumping systems an entirely relevant
audience, covering the whole sector and with no waste.
The editorial content of the magazine is also set to evolve from
that of the previous newsletter, with the support of a dedicated
editorial team. Alongside news and insight from the BPMA,
flow will present readers with news from elsewhere in the
industry, thought leadership articles, opinion pieces,
application stories, product news and much more.
The move responds to the BPMA’s desire to reinforce its
position as the leading authority within the pump and pumping
systems sector and to demonstrate the association’s
commitment to providing value to its membership.
The new publication is being produced in a partnership
between the BPMA and two companies with a deep
understanding of the
industry and the
Association it serves,
plus significant
experience of
publishing in the
industrial business-
to-business
marketplace –
Touchwave Media
and G&C Media. I
BPMA Announces New President
Richard Harden, Managing Director of Stuart Turner Ltd
has been announced as the new President of the British
Pump Manufacturers Association Limited (BPMA).
The role was officially
passed on at the recent
BPMA Annual General
Meeting, following the
departure of previous
President, Duncan Lewis,
from the industry. Duncan
had completed a short, but
important, one-year tenure
as President, before
graciously handing the
baton onto his worthy
successor.
Steve Schofield, Director
and Chief Executive of the
BPMA commented, “This is
a great accolade and one
that reflects the continuing
efforts that Richard makes to raise the profile of the industry
in general and to tackle the tough issues that it faces today.
The BPMA has enjoyed the support and engagement of some
very talented people at its helm over the years, and we are
delighted to now have Richard join that impressive line-up. I
look forward to working with him as we continue to drive the
association forward”.
Richard’s presidency coincides with the uncertainty that
BREXIT brings to industry and when asked to comment, he
said, “Being elected as President of the BPMA is a great honour
and to take on the role in these somewhat difficult times will
no doubt be challenging. Brexit is clearly a very important
subject with potential opportunities and threats for our
industry, but I am sure with the help and support of BPMA
staff, its Board and its Council we will meet this challenge”. I
Richard Harden
Gary commented: “I’m delighted to be joining the BPMA, an
organisation I have admired and had the pleasure of working
alongside for many years. My role is to support the pump
industry and ensure that its voice is heard on all and any
technical matters. I’m looking forward to meeting the BPMA
membership, many of whom are old friends and colleagues, in
the coming weeks and months.”
Steve Schofield, Director and CEO at the BPMA added, “We are
delighted to be welcoming Gary into the team here at the
BPMA. He has been a longstanding supporter of the
Association, having engaged with us extensively whilst
working for Xylem here in the UK. He brings a wealth of
experience to the new role of Technical Services Officer, which
I feel sure will serve both him and our growing membership
very well indeed.” I

Do you have anyone needing
basic pump knowledge?
The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA)
has been running dedicated pump training courses
since the mid 1990’s and has helped equip hundreds of
individuals with the knowledge and skills required to
understand the design, installation and operation of
this essential piece of equipment.
As part of its ongoing commitment to this aspect of its service
provision to both its Members and the wider ‘pump using
industry’, the BPMA has secured CPD accreditation across its
full training programme.
In addition to its suite of ‘Lecture to Student’ based courses,
covering the key subjects of Pumping Fundamentals, Pump
Selection, Pump Testing, Pump Systems and finally, Hydraulic
Design of Centrifugal Pumps, the BPMA also offers two ‘E-
Learning Courses’, namely:

In 2001, Dutypoint Systems was established with the
aim of creating a range of high-quality pumping
systems, starting with cold water booster sets.
In 2006, Dutypoint Systems became the first manufacturer to
achieve WRAS approval of a booster set, and in 2010 the
company received its 2000th booster set order, illustrating its
commitment to both quality and first-rate design.
Since achieving this milestone, the company has not stood
still, and continues to offer innovative new products, including
combined tank and pump systems, heat interface units, dirt
and air separators, dosing pots, electromagnetic water
conditioners, storm and wastewater pump systems and other
related products.
It is this commitment to innovation and ongoing customer
service that led the management team at Dutypoint to contact
the British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) and solicit
product compliance guidance under its EU Directives &
Regulations Advisory Scheme.
Believing they were already meeting the required compliance
measures, it was felt that with a growing product portfolio,
and an increasingly complex systems offering, an independent
assessment of their documentation protocols was perhaps
required.
Although not a signed-up Member of the BPMA, Dutypoint
became aware of the Advisory Scheme through several third
parties, and was encouraged to approach its Director & CEO,
Steve Schofield.
It is a legal requirement, when placing products on the UK and
European market, to have the correct supporting
documentation in place. Failure to do so can lead to large fines
for companies, and where non-compliant products cause injury
or death, possible imprisonment for company executives.
The BPMA has for many years provided generic information to
its members on EU Directives affecting the pump industry,
either through guidance documents, position papers or
information presented at its various meetings. Indeed, it is
believed to be the only UK organisation that specifically
concentrates on the effects of EU legislation on liquid pumps.
Dutypoint Seeks BPMA Advice on Product Compliance
In keeping with its ongoing commitment to serve the
interests of its members and the wider pump using
industry, the British Pump Manufacturers Association
(BPMA) has recently signed a Mutual Co-operation
Agreement with Lancaster University.
The agreement covers a
range collaborative ideas
and opportunities,
primarily geared around
the development of
improved skills and
enhanced technology
understanding across the
sector. Exploring additional
content to strengthen the
BPMA’s existing range of
training courses and
evaluating the scope for
funded collaboration across
a range of technologies
pertinent to pump systems
engineering, will form the
bedrock of the
arrangement.
Commenting on the MCA,
Professor George Aggidis
PhD, MSc, BEng(Hons),
CEng, CMarEng, Eur Ing,
MASME, FIMarEST, FEI,
FIMechE, FIET said,” By aligning the respective strengths of
engineering academia and commercial enterprise, jointly
delivered ‘added value’ services can be determined for the
mutual benefit of members, students and stakeholders alike. I
am thrilled that we have this agreement in place and excited
by the potential activities that the collaboration could deliver”.
Steve Schofield, BPMA Director and CEO added, “Having
previously worked with Professor Aggidis whilst he was active
in industry, I am delighted to have the opportunity to extend
our working relationship and to have our respective
organisations seek collaborative initiatives”.
For further information, please email Gary Wilde, Technical
Services Officer at the BPMA on g.wilde@bpma.org.uk – or call
him on 0121 601 6692. I
BPMA and Lancaster University Sign Mutual Co-
operation Agreement
A free service has just been launched by the British
Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) to help
unemployed job seekers or anyone facing redundancy,
who have a relevant engineering background and is
looking for work within the pump sector or its
associated trades.
Through this online service, the BPMA will help identify job
seekers to those companies which have vacancies specific to
the pumps and pump systems related industry.
Many BPMA Members have highlighted the difficulties they face
in finding, recruiting and nurturing new talent. In response to
this ongoing challenge, the BPMA has launched the Pipeline
Vacancy Board where members are encouraged to display any
vacancies they may have.
Additionally, the BPMA is keen to work with ‘engineering’
universities based in the UK to help place suitable students
within UK pump companies.
Any pump related company with an appropriate engineering
vacancy, or any candidate interested in promoting themselves
BPMA Announces Job Seekers Service
via this service, are encouraged to contact the BPMA’s Steve
Smith by email on s.smith@bpma.org.uk
No individual name or company will be identified on the
website as vacancies will have a unique reference number
which must be quoted on any application or CV request. Steve
Smith will contact the relevant parties for further information
as requested, and it is expected that by subscribing to this
service all parties will have read and be bound by the BPMA

However, this activity can now be concentrated and focused
through the Advisory Scheme, to deliver the following key
provisions:
• Site visit premises in the UK
• Carry out an evaluation of on-site Technical Files, CE
Markings, Declarations of Conformity, and overall
compliance procedures
• Provide an Information Folder
• Offer specific advice and information
• Submit a detailed report and associated recommendations
The audit for Dutypoint, was specific to their requirements and
covered a wide range of topic areas, including:
John Bower, BPMA (centre), John Florence, Engineering Manager
(left), Chris Lang, Product Manager (right)
• Responsibility for Compliance of Products Supplied (Putting
on the Market)
• Applicable Directives
• MEI Regulations
• Extended Product Approach and EEI Regulations
• WEEE – Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
• Outdoor Noise Directive 2000/14/EC
• Language of Documents
Having conducted the audit, John Bower, BPMA’s Specialist
Consultant reported that “Dutypoint had clearly understood
the requirements of CE Marking, DoCs, risk assessments and
are to be complimented on the comprehensive content of its
Technical Files.”
He added, “The presentations, and associated discussions,
clarified the process of compliance with Directives and showed
a few areas where additions could be usefully made,
specifically in areas such as DoCs and the content and format
of the Technical Files. Some of the points discussed could even
make the overall compliance process a little less time-
consuming. Other areas, including Outdoor Noise and the MEI
regulations were recommended for further study because
some of the company’s products could be seen to be in scope.”
In response to the results and recommendations of the audit,
Dutypoint’s Director, Russell Freeman said, “We are delighted
with the outcome of this audit, which gives us a ‘clean bill of
health’ in relation to our compliance obligations and will
reassure all our stakeholders we are doing things right; for
both ourselves and our customers. There is of course always
room for improvement, and we will certainly act on the advice
and recommendations given in the BPMA’s report.”

This BPMA’s Annual Golf Day was this year staged on
16th May at the magnificent Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa and
Golf Resort, nestled within 300 acres of stunning West
Yorkshire countryside and landscaped gardens. Offering
27 holes across a beautiful hill and dale setting, the
venue choice proved to be a great hit with all those
involved.
Adopting the ever-popular team format of Texas
Scramble, the competition combined the front nine
holes of the 6482-yard, par 71 Calverley Course with
the 3181-yard, 9-hole, par 36 Hall Course. With
strategically placed bunkers on most fairways, long
roughs and a good smattering of water features, the
day provided a real challenge for all but the most
proficient of players.
The day was again very well attended, with 60 players
across 15 teams (four more than last year) being
fielded for what proved to be a very competitive and
close-run event – the points difference between the
top teams being marginal.
The event also enjoyed the support of several
sponsors, including ABB who provided a set of Golf
Balls for each player, WEG who provided Golf Towels,
Flowserve who once again provided the Trophies, and
finally Wilo who provided a personalised Coaster for
everyone. The support of each of these companies,
allowed for a fantastic event to be thoroughly enjoyed
by everyone.
Once again, the BPMA drew on the services of
Ashman Media who filmed the entire day, capturing all the
memorable, humorous and in some cases disastrous shots! A
full video account of the day will shortly be available to view
via a link on the BPMA website.
Following an excellent dinner, served in the Claret Jug
overlooking the course, and brief sneak preview of what the
video might hold in store, Steve Schofield of the BPMA
announced (in reverse order) the individual team scores,
before presenting the Winners with their Trophies:
Longest Drive – Aaron Stephenson
Nearest the Pin – Ras Shahilow
1st Place – AESSEAL
2nd Place – Calpeda
3rd Place – Wilo
At the end of the evening guests were informed that
one of the players present, Andrew Leech of Flowtech
Water Solutions, who has recently undergone surgery
for Prostate Cancer, will be taking part in the Grand
Départ Classic 2019, on the 29th June in Brussels. He
will endeavour to cycle 192km (over 12 hours) on the
first stage of the 2019 Tour de France 1 week ahead
of the professionals.
In support of his efforts to raise funds for Prostate
Cancer UK, guests joined the BPMA in donating
£425.00 to the cause. Well done, and good luck to
Andrew on his ride.
Speaking after the event, BPMA Director and CEO,
Steve Schofield said, “This event seems to get better
and better with each year that passes and with such
nice weather and fantastic support, we couldn’t have
wanted for anything more this year. The golf may
have been a little challenging, but the course,
company hospitality and generosity were all
excellent”.
The 2020 event will be held at Belton Woods, near Grantham
in Lincolnshire on Thursday 21st May, for which bookings are
already being taken. Should you wish to enter a team, please
call Steve Smith at the BPMA on 0121 601 6691. I

New times.
New challenges.
Worldwide, the composition of wastewater has become far more
complex than even just a few years ago. At the same time, managers
of collection networks are under greater pressure to reduce energy
and water consumption. The challenge of blockages has never been

European Directives
INTERNAL MARKET
MACHINERY DIRECTIVE
Old 98/37/EC New 2006/42/EC
The European Commission published on 7 May its Staff
Working Document on the Evaluation of the Machinery
Directive (MD). The MD is assessed as being fit for purpose in
general, continuing to be relevant and to deliver effectively
and efficiently the intended benefits for the users of
machinery.
The feeling within Europump is the current Proposed revision
will not affect pump manufacturers.
The latest Machinery Working Group (WG) meeting took place
on 5 November in Brussels. The Commission announced that
the inception impact assessment on the review of the
Machinery Directive (MD) will be launched early 2019. It will
then be followed by an open public consultation and targeted
consultations running throughout 2019. In parallel to this
activity, the Commission also plans to issue a report on the
broader implications of potential gaps in the liability and safety
frameworks for Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and
Robotics. The analysis of the impact of new technologies on
the current safety and liability frameworks will specifically
focus on the Product Liability Directive, the MD and the Radio
Equipment Directive. It is estimated that this report will be
published in June 2019.
One area which members need to be aware of is the
Harmonised standard EN809, It has been agreed to
revise the standard with CEN but not to include ISO.
European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) Institute
for Energy and Transport is also carrying out a study on behalf
of DG GROW to assess the impact of a possible extension of
the scope of the Machinery, Pressure Equipment and ATEX
Directives regarding equipment intended for use in the
offshore oil and gas industry.
The new Directive 2006/42/EC came into effect as from 29
December 2009. The BPMA have now issued useful
information on the requirements of the New Machinery
Directive and also captive screws for guards. To comply fully
with the new directive members should work to the revised
text of standard EN 809 1998 +A1:2009 which was published
by BSi February 2010. A preliminary version of the proposed
revision of the existing Europump Guideline has now been
Circulated (3 pages). This ensures that the pump industry fully
understand its obligations.
Europump Guideline
In line with 2006/42/EC
• Highlights the specifics of pumps
• Interpretation of partly completed machinery vs. Complete
machinery
• Definition – Pump without motor is machinery
• Fasteners for guards (differences between a guard and a
protective device)
• Europump Guide is available on the Europump
PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE
Old 97/23/EC New 2014/68/EU
New number effective as of July 2016
No further news
General revision
The latest meeting of the Working Party Guidelines (WPG) took
place on 19-20 April. The WPG adopted the PED Guideline on
risk assessment/hazard analysis (to be submitted to the
Working Group Pressure (WGP) for approval), although
Orgalime questioned the usefulness of this guideline given that
market has adapted to the new rules under the PED
2014/68/EU.
Within the UK the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has
contacted the BPMA with concerns regarding certification of
sealant systems for double mechanical seals typically plan 53.
They believe some systems are being purchased that do not
fully conform to the PED. For more information contact
s.schofield@bpma.org.uk Europump Position paper is now
being revised to give up to date information.
ATEX (EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES)
Old 94/9/EC New 2014/34/EU (After 2016)
No further news
A new list of harmonised standards in the framework of the
implementation of the Directive 2014/34/EU regarding
equipment and protective systems intended for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres was published in the Official
Journal on 12 October (OJEU 12.10.2018 C 371/1).
The Atex 2014/34/EU Guidelines 2nd edition December 2017
are now available from S. Schofield BPMA upon request.
The key changes reflect the alignment with the New Legislative
Framework (NFL) and mainly concern:

Standards situation
EN 13463 series vs. IEC 80079-36/-37
A Comformity Assessment according to EN 13463-series is
valid until August 2019, although customers may claim EN ISO
80079-36/-37 prior to this date.
Europump Standards Commission has Started work to revise
its Guidelines according the new situation (+ IECEx) This will
help members transfer over to the new standards before
October 2019.
Upcoming requests for IECEx-Certificates
Publication of EN ISO 80079-36/-37 enable the IECEx scheme
to be extended on mechanical equipment e.g. pumps. Some
Notified Bodies are pushing for extra work on mechanical
equipment.
IEC standards 80079-36 & 37 have now been published and
include major changes to the marking and documentation of
non- electrical goods such as pumps. Pump manufacturers can
now work completely to these two new standards or if they do
not wish to change their documentation yet and still work to
the EN 13463 series they have until 31st October 2019.
Other changes from the old 94/9/EC to the new 2014/ 34/EU
have now been reflected in the Europump revised Atex
Guidelines Part 1 & 2 and all members should be aware of
these changes.

LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE
Old 2006/95/EC New 2014/35/EU after 2016
The European Commission launched a stakeholder survey on
the evaluation of the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. The
survey is part of an evaluation study to analyse the
performance of the LVD Directive. In parallel to this survey, a
public consultation which addresses the general public and
consumers will also be launched in the coming months.
The targeted survey consists of questions related to the
relevance of the LVD for the safety of electrical consumers, the
coherence between the LVD and other pieces of legislation
(such as the Radio Equipment Directive and the Machinery
Directive), as well as a possible extension of the LVD scope to
equipment operating at voltages below 50V AC / 75 V DC.
Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback until 11 January
2019:
https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/LVDStakeholderSurvey.
A new list of harmonised standards in the framework of the
implementation of the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU was
published on 14 September 2018 in the Official Journal (OJEU
14.09.2018 C 209/37).
The European Commission published the LVD Guidelines on 19
August 2018. The official draft mostly reflects the comments
received from the industry.
The European Commission published the Evaluation and
Fitness Check Roadmap of the Low Voltage Directive on 30
October, inviting stakeholders to provide feedback by 27
November. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the
overall performance of the LVD 2014/35/EU against the
standard evaluation criteria: relevance, effectiveness,
efficiency, coherence and EU added-value. Some key aspects
on which this evaluation may focus relate to: checking possible
challenges/risks stemming from digitalisation of electrical
equipment; assessing whether the recent increasing number
of safeguard clauses and objections to harmonised standards
raised by Member States may necessitate a change in the
scope of the LVD and/or health and safety requirements; and
identifying any possible overlaps with other EU legislation,
mainly the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU, the
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC) 2014/30/EU,
and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Members are required to use the new number as of April 2016.
At a recent Europump meeting a discussion took place on if
domestic pumps should comply to both the Machinery
Directive and Low Voltage Directive. Most of these currently
work to the EN 60335 series of standards.
The conclusion was that the Declaration of conformity for
these products should include both Directives.
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility DIRECTIVE)
89/336/EEC
Old 2004/108/EC New 2014/30/EU after2016
No further news
CENELEC have set up a BT Working Group on EMCD
Standardisation to demonstrate the benefits of the so-called
80/80 statistical rule for manufacturers and market
surveillance authorities. This rule ensures that 80% of
appliances in production comply with the EMCD requirements,
with a confidence level of 80%. The CENELEC report is
available from S.Schofield.
The final draft EMCD Guide was circulated by the EMC Working
Group on the revision of the EMCD Guide on 4 May.
The new directive makes reference to electromagnetic
compatibility ‘apparatus’ instead of ‘product’ which was used in
directive 2004/108/EC. No substantial changes to the technical
provisions have been identified, but in the new text market
surveillance procedures are both simplified and clearer.
On the alignment of the EMCD 2004/108/EC with the New
Legislative Framework. Transposition into national law will then
last 2 years before application.
An updated list of harmonised standards was published in the
OJEU.
The European Commission has finally published the
implementation guidelines of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC
on its website.
No reference to the old number should be made in
correspondence, paperwork and certification.
Electro Magnetic Fields Directive (EMFD) Directive
2013/35/EU

Exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (EMF)
is a recurrent subject in the European Parliament. The impact
of radiations emitted by mobile network stations on human
continued from previous page

health was raised by MEP Biljana Borzan (S&D, Croatia), who
asked a written question about the implementation of the
Directive 2013/35 on the minimum health and safety
requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks
arising from physical agents in Member States.
The Commission replied on 5 July that first-generation PV
panels do not contain the rare minerals referred to in the
question. However, about 23% of the wind capacity installed
globally contains rare minerals imported mainly from China.
The Commission stated that Horizon 2020 supports research
programmes for the substitution, recycling and efficient use of
rare minerals.
The new Directive covers all sectors but mainly concerns
workers exposed to a level of risk. It incorporates new
international exposure limits, based on guidelines of the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiations
Protection (ICNIRP). The legislation obliges employers to
assess the risks of exposure to electromagnetic fields and to
take the necessary measures to reduce them, for example by
replacing equipment or using interlocks or shielding
mechanisms.
The new Directive addresses the short-term direct biophysical
effects (e.g. tissue heating, stimulation of muscles, nerves or
sensory organs) and indirect biophysical effects (e.g.
interference with medical electronic equipment such as cardiac
pacemakers).
The directive stipulates an obligation for employers to carry
out risk assessments and, if necessary, measure or calculate
the levels of electromagnetic fields to which workers are
exposed. Employers must ensure that the exposure of workers
is compliant with a series of exposure limit values regarding
thermal and non-thermal effects of electromagnetic fields both
on health and senses, take corrective measures if such values
are exceeded, and take measures aimed at avoiding or
reducing risks to a minimum. Exposure limit values are
indicated in the annexes to the directive.
The manufacturers and employers organisations insist that
many working processes will be disturbed by the application of
this physical agents directive, and it may even render the use
of some machines or processes impossible e.g. Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, spot and seam welding.
Construction Products Regulation (CPR) – Revision
The European Commission published the final study reports on
the Evaluation and Impact Assessment of the Construction
Products Regulation (305/2011/EU) at the end of November.
They are available here:
http://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/construction/product-
regulation/review_en.
As a reminder, this study aimed to assessed how the CPR
performed and to which extent it has met its objectives. In
addition, it aimed to examine whether a revision of the CPR is
needed. Although no radical change is needed, the report
recommended improving the CPR ‘via soft law, complemented
by a limited legislative revision to address very specific issues’.
Whilst the CPR is not applicable to pumps its focus on the
pump industry is becoming more relevant due to work within
the Drinking Water Directive.
The standardisation body CEN and the construction products
sector have agreed to develop a “Smart CE marking” to
provide information on product performances in a digital
format. This CEN Workshop Agreement has now been
published: CWA 17316:2018. It provides a link between the
product and its DoP in a digital, machine and human readable
format (XML). As a next step, a product-specific approach will
be developed to allow the optional use of “Smart CE” by
manufacturers.

As a reminder the Commission have proposed this new text to
remove the existing Directive with regulation. This could affect
the pump industry has it is currently believed within Europump
that pumps are not part of the Construction Products
Directive. The BPMA and Europump will monitor this position
closely, unfortunately for now the French have chose to work
to the CPR whilst the UK, Germany and Italy are saying pumps
are excluded.
DRINKINGWATER DIRECTIVE
98/83/EC
The European Parliament adopted in the Plenary Session of
October the report by MEP Dantin (EPP, FR). As a reminder,
the report encourages increased harmonisation for products in
contact with drinking water, by which the Commission would
be enabled to adopt delegated acts laying down minimum
hygienic requirements and positive lists for materials.
The Council is still deliberating its position on the issue of
materials in contact with drinking water. In October, 10
Member States (Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany,
Greece, France, Hungary, Netherlands, Slovakia and U.K.)
issued a non-paper in which they expressed support for
developing a framework for increased harmonisation by
building on the efforts of the 4MS initiative.
The Austrian Presidency and the Commission were initially not
very favourable to this approach, but it appears that they have
now shifted their position and have submitted a compromise
proposal for Article 10 (available from the secretariat). This
proposal no longer links the DWD with the Construction
Products Regulation and it would define common European
hygienic requirements through “positive lists” defined through
implementing acts. This proposal appears to be in response to
the 10 Member States’ initiative.
However, there are concerns that negotiations on this file will
not be finalised before the institutional recess. The DWD is not
BPMA 19 190612_BPMA 2018 12/06/2019 18:25 Page 13

14
on the Agenda of the upcoming Environment Council meeting
on 20 December, therefore a common position will likely not
be reached before January 2019. Given the complexity of the
negotiations on the file for the issue of materials in contact
with drinking water and the right to water, it appears highly
unlikely that negotiations will be finalised in time for an
approval in the March Plenary session of the Parliament, with a
prior vote at the Committee level in February. If the
institutions do not reach an agreement before the institutional
recess, it will be up to the next Commission to decide the way
forward. This can delay the adoption by more than 6 months.
Europump has now completed its work on a Position paper and
also a Guideline to assist members in selling their product on
drinking water across all member states. This document was
circulated to members in June however further copies are
available from S Schofield.
The 4MS – soon to be 5MS with Portugal – published a new
document on their website in the summer: a compilation of
the positive lists of substances used for organic materials
acceptance for contact with drinking water. This spreadsheet is
not yet a harmonised list, but clearly shows what is authorised
in France, Germany and the Netherlands (the UK does not use
such positive lists). An update of the positive list of metallic
alloys is still awaited.
NEW – Directive 2014/53/EU – RED
The European Commission published a report on the operation
and implementation of the Radio Equipment Directive
2014/53/EU (RED) on 13 November, in accordance with the
Article 47(2).
The report indicates that overall the RED has been operating
well since its application date (i.e. 13 June 2016), despite a
delay of some Member States’ to notify their transposition
measures, and the late citation of harmonised standards under
the RED.
No complaints from Member States have been submitted as
regards possible issues in relation to the free movement of
radio equipment already placed on the market, nor any
problems with the notification of conformity assessment bodies
under the RED (70 bodies were notified by the end of April
2018).
The next report on the implementation of the RED is expected
to be released in 2023.
The latest list of harmonised standards (with 3 new
references) in the framework of the Radio Equipment Directive
2014/53/EU was published in the Official Journal on 14
September (OJEU 14.09.2018 C 326/114).
The European Commission is planning to issue three delegated
Acts under Article 3.3 of the RED, on:
1. A common charger (for all mobile devices)
2. Reconfigurable Radio Systems (including the issue of
applying the RED after a product has been placed on the
market, to ensure that the conformity of the radio
equipment is not affected by the upload of a
software/firmware update)
3. Privacy of toys and smart watches (to address the issue of
fraud and privacy in consumer goods).
There are 5 new CENELEC harmonised standards, 4 of which
aim to cover RED essential requirements in article 3.1(a) on
health and safety, and 1 covering RED article 3.1(b) on an
adequate level of electromagnetic compatibility.
The Radio Equipment Directive superseeds the former RTTI
Directive and claimes all products equiped or combined with a
device transmitting or receiving signals via „radio waves” to be
a RED product.
The situation is unsatisfying and most companies take a
pragmatic way forward and follow the well known an
established procedure according the RTTI – the predecessor of
the RED.
All equipment (subject to the RED Directive) combined with
the machine is shipped with ist complete Conformity
documentation and the machine is declared according
macinery directive.
The European Commission have now published the updated
list of harmonised standards in the framework of the
implementation of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) on 14
July (C 229/24). The next list of harmonised standards is
expected to be published on 15 October. In addition, the
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document on the RED has
been recently updated. It covers key clarifications on the
scope and application of the RED, as well as the status of
publication of harmonised standards, and how manufacturers
can ensure compliance with the RED in the absence of
standards.
Dual-use items
Work on the repeal of the Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of the
Union regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering,
technical assistance and transit of dual-use items is advancing
slowly. After the vote of the EP Plenary Session in January
2018, the Council has not adopted its position yet. This was
expected to be adopted on 5 December in order to start the
trialogue negotiations on 11 December.
DG Trade has published a Targeted Industry Consultation on
draft Internal Compliance Programme guidance for dual-use
export controls. The European Commission and EU Member
States created a Technical Expert Group to draft the guidance
as a non-binding instrument identifying the core elements
which are essential for an effective ICP for dual-use export
controls. The guidance has the objective to support exporters’
efforts to ensure compliance with EU national export laws and
regulations. Stakeholders involved and interested in export of
dual-use products can submit their feedback and inputs by 15
November 2018.
Exporters of products not listed in the regulation but which
could be used for human rights violations have to follow the
OECD-based ‘due-diligence’ guidelines.
Companies should also be aware of the relaxed import and
export restrictions previously applied to Iran
The export authorisations apply to dual-use items as listed in
Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 428/2009, non-listed items
which may be controlled if their use is intended for biological,
chemical or nuclear weapons or ballistic missile weapons
programmes and, in exceptional cases, non-listed dual-use
items to be controlled if their use goes against public security
or human rights values.
This Regulation set up a Community regime for the control of
exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items. The
2011 proposal updates the EU control list (Annex I), makes
modifications to the EU General Export Authorisations (Annex
II) and introduces delegated acts in order to allow the
Commission to rapidly remove destinations and/or items from
the scope of existing EU General Export Authorizations.

WEEE AND ROHS DIRECTIVES 2012/19/EU & 2011/65/EU
On RoHS, 2011/65/EU
RoHS exemptions renewal
Further to the first renewal in May 2018 (Pack 9 – batch 1),
the European Commission adopted a second series of RoHS
exemptions on 16 November 2018. The second batch of
exemptions: 7(c)-II, 7(c)-IV, 8(b), 15, 21, 29, 32 and 37 has
BPMA 19 190612_BPMA 2018 12/06/2019 18:25 Page 14

15
been notified to the European Parliament and the Council for
their scrutiny. All these exemptions, which expired in 2016,
have been renewed for 5 years; the Commission kept the
same application scope for most of them. Once published in
the Official Journal early 2019, these delegated acts will allow
manufacturers to continue using lead for specific applications
until July 2021, unless a renewal is requested.
The European Commission kicked off the evaluation of the
RoHS Directive in September 2018 by publishing its evaluation
roadmap (available at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-
regulation/initiatives/ares-2018-3106007_en). As required by
the RoHS Directive, the Commission should assess the
performance of this piece of legislation by July 2021.
The amendments on the RoHS Directive were published in the
Official Journal of the EU on 21 November (http://eur-
lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2017.
305.01.0008.01.ENG&toc=OJ:L:2017:305:TOC).
In short, these amendments clarify the transitional date (22
July 2019), introduce an explicit spare parts exclusion and
allow secondary market operations for newly-in-scope EEE
(articles 2.2, 4.3 & 4.4). This review also increases the
exclusions, notably in broadening the definition of non-road
mobile machinery. As regards the RoHS exemptions, the
review specifies the validity period for Category 11 EEE (5
years from 22 July 2019). It also requires the Commission to
provide a timeline for the adoption of its decision.
These amendments entered into force on 11 December 2017.
As a next step, Member States will have to incorporate them
into national law by 12 June 2019.
The new RoHS directive came into force as of 2nd January.
Monitoring and control equipment will be effective as of
22/7/14. Industrial monitoring and control equipment as of
22/7/17.
In view of the definition of ‘electrical and electronic equipment’
or ‘EEE’ in the Recast Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2), some
pumps may be understood as EEE.
After careful study of the Directive 2011/65/EU on RoHS,
EUROPUMP and its members come to the conclusion that the
following pumps and pump units may fall in scope of
this Directive from 2nd of January 2013 on:
• Waste water lifting stations for non-industrial,
municipal or private use
• Waste water pumps for non-industrial or private use
• Pumps for garden ponds and similar applications
• Drainage pumps for non-industrial or private use
• Circulators
This means that pumps which were not covered by
Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS1) and thus may not
comply with the substance restrictions prescribed, but
which are now subject to Directive 2011/65/EU
(RoHS2), can still be made available on the market until
22 July 2019.
NOTE: In view of the current wording of Directive 2011/65/EU
(RoHS2), this also means that the distribution / rental
channels and stocks will have to be clear of non-conforming
pumps on 22 July 2019. However, in view of the serious
economic and environmental impact of such clearance,
Industry associations together with the European Commission
and Member States authorities are trying to find a solution to
mitigate such consequences.

The BPMA position paper and Flow diagram has been
Approved by Defra and the Environment Agency and
instructions on how to comply to the WEEE2 Directive
and the Position Paper c/w the Flow diagram are
available from s.schofield@bpma.org.uk upon request.
It is believed that no legal action will be taken until 15-08-
2018 and whilst there is no known market surveillance high
penalties for none compliance have been announced.
The European Commission drafted a format for the registration
and reporting of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) as
per Article 16.3 of the WEEE Directive. This draft regulation is
based on a dedicated study.
The draft regulation establishes three formats and frequencies
for reporting:
1. Format for registration of producers, or authorised
representatives or third parties acting on their behalf
2. Format for reporting to the register on data related to EEE
placed on the market. Member States did not agree on the
frequency reporting due to different national practices:
annual vs quarterly reporting
3. Format for reporting on data related to WEEE collected,
treated, recycled and recovered to be performed on an
annual basis.
The entry into force of this draft implementing regulation is
also subject to discussion: January 2019 or January 2020.

Regarding next steps, DG Environment will consult other
services in the Commission (inter-service consultation). The
Implementing Regulation will then be discussed with the
Member States at the WEEE Committee meeting in January
2018. The final adoption is envisaged in early 2018.

CHEMICALS (REACH)
Amendment of directives 67/548/EEC &199/45/EC
The European Commission presented on 5 March 2018 its
report on the REACH Review (see Communication here:
https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/28201). The report
concludes that REACH does not need to be amended.
An amendment to REACH Annexes I, III, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X,
XI and XII, to address nanoforms of substances has been
published in the Official Journal. The purpose of this
amendment is to clarify the registration duties for nanoforms,
as these have specific toxicological profiles and different
exposure patterns that require specific risk assessment and
risk management measures. This regulation will apply as from
1 January 2020, although manufacturers, importers and
downstream users may comply before the deadline.
Candidate list
ECHA launched over the summer a public consultations for six
substances to be potentially identified as SVHCs. The
substances under consideration appear to have broad
applications within the mechanical and engineering industries.
Most notably we would like to highlight Undecafluoro-
hexanoic acid (PFHxA) and its ammonium salt, which
does not occur naturally but as an impurity and degradation of
products. Its precursors are mainly used in semiconductors,
electronic industry and metal surface treatment. This
substance is considered to be extremely persistent in the
environment. The deadline for comments closed on 19
October. These substances may be included in the next
revision of the Candidate List in early 2019.
Authorisation process
ECHA launched in September a public consultation on 18
substances proposed for ECHA’s 9th recommendation to the
Authorisation List. The purpose of the consultation is to gain
input on the potential exemptions from the authorisation
requirement, and the potential socio-economic consequences
relating to the inclusion of these substances in the
Authorisation List. Of key relevance to our sectors are:
Bisphenol A (broadly used in plastic products and machinery)
and HHPA and MHHPA (notably used in transformers).
The deadline for comments is 5 December 2018. The Member

States committee will prepare an opinion on the comments
received by March 2019, after which ECHA will submit the 9th
recommendation to the European Commission. The
Commission will subsequently draft the proposal to include
these substances in Annex XIV of REACH. The amendment of
the legislation could occur by spring 2020 at earliest.
Although the sunset date expired on 21 September 2017,
decisions on some applications for the use of chromium
trioxide are still under assessment. This is the case for a
very large application submitted by the CTASub consortium.
The Commission’s decision on this application is expected in
the first few months of 2018, at the earliest.
Nevertheless, downstream users (such as equipment
manufacturers) can continue to use chromium trioxide,
if the substance is supplied directly by one of the 7
members of the CTACSub consortium or indirectly by
their customers. This remains valid until a decision is
adopted by the European Commission.
As regards lead compounds, 4 substances used in the
manufacturing process of batteries remain on the priority list.
Although the industry called for granting exemptions
specifically for the manufacture of batteries, no exemption has
been recommended.
Restriction process
The REACH Committee unanimously supported the
Commission restriction proposal covering four phthalates:
DEHP, DBP, BBP and DIBP. The proposal forbids the presence
of these substances in articles used by consumers or available
in indoor areas in concentrations equal or above 0.1% of their
weight. However, the restriction proposal exempts articles
covered by the RoHS Directive and EEE components.
Publication in the Official Journal is expected in the coming
weeks. The restriction will apply 18 months after the entry into
force.
The Committees for Risk Assessment (RAC) and Socio-
economic Analysis (SEAC) agreed on the restriction proposal
for a group of perfluorinated substances, C9-C14 PFCAs, their
salts and precursors. The restriction proposal notes that these
substances are used mainly in the semiconductor industry. As
a next step, the Commission will draft a legislative proposal for
the restriction, to be submitted to and approved by the REACH
Committee.
Impact of Brexit
ECHA has updated its Q&A section to provide companies with
further guidance on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. In
parallel, the British government has also issued a guidance on
how Brexit will affect companies, as regards REACH.
On registration
The REACH registrations database has been frozen until
January 2019 due to ongoing work to update the
dissemination system, required for the publication of data
from dossiers. During the period covering October to
December, no new data will be published. After January, ECHA
will retroactively publish non-confidential data from the
dossiers submitted during this period.
Furthermore, as from 1 January 2019 ECHA will begin sending
evaluation decisions to non-compliant registrants of a
substance. ECHA will change its approach, by addressing all
registrants, as opposed to the current practice of addressing
the lead registrant.
EU INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION AND
CONTROL DIRECTIVE 96/61/EC
Replaced by the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED)
No further news
At the IED Article 75 Committee meeting of April 2018,
Members States approved the draft Commission Implementing
Decision on waste treatment (WT BREF) and related Best
Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions. The BAT conclusions
on waste treatment will be published in the Official Journal
within the next weeks. As a reminder, these BAT conclusions
are used as a reference for setting permit conditions for
installations performing temporary storage, disposal or
recovery of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
The European Commission published the ‘Best Available
Techniques’ (BAT) for Large Combustion Plants (LCP) in August
2017 (Implementing Decision 2017/1442/EU). These BAT
conclusions will be used as a reference for Member States to
set permit conditions for industrial installations, such as power
stations and district heating plants.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION PROPOSALS FOR AN ECO-
DESIGN FOR ENERGY-USING PRODUCTS (EUP)
FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE – Directive 2005/32/EC
Energy related Products (ErP)
Directive 2009/125/EC
On 11 March 2009, the EcoDesign Regulatory Committee
approved new eco-design rules setting efficiency standards for
industrial electric motors. Motors will have to meet minimum
efficiency standards from 2011. The first phase will be
introduced 16th June and motors must comply to IE2
efficiency levels. On January 1st 2015 Motors with a rated
output of 7.5-375kW must meet either the IE3 efficiency or
the IE2 level if fitted with a VSD. Thus cutting the annual
energy consumption of these engines by around 135 terawatt
hours.
A guideline has now been developed by Europump for
Circulators and Water pumps and is available from S Schofield
upon request.
Circulators 641/2009
A Consultation Forum meeting is foreseen 1st April 2019 but
no confirmation yet. There are no new requirements that will
affect the manufacture of Circulators. Other items within the
revision will come into force by January 1st 2020.
Water Pumps
Lots 28 and 29: The Final review study has now been
circulated to Europump and subsequently all national
associations for comment (433 pages). The consultant has
asked Europump to write its proposal (Annex 13) which should
cover how industry will avoid issues with Market Surveillance.
Europumps proposal will be to show energy savings by using a
VSD on all pumps be they a constant flow application or
variable flow. A consultation forum meeting is expected before
the summer 2019.
Original requirements:
• Phase 1 by January 1st 2013 and have a MEI of 0.1 (10%
cut off)
• Phase 2 would be introduced January 1st 2015 and would
BPMA 19 190612_BPMA 2018 12/06/2019 18:25 Page 17

be a MEI of 0.4 (40% cut off).
The bench mark set by the commission is MEI of 0.7 (70% cut
off).
The standard EN 16480 has now been published by CEN,
however this was publication was carried out without
incorporating comments received on the FDIS circulation. A
new work item has now been raised by CEN so the work to
incorporate the comments should start soon.
Extended Product Approach(EPA)
With regards to the Extended Product approach the European
Commission and the Consultant have contacted Europump to
advise that they feel that the EPA will be impossible to police
across Europe (market surveillance) and they are seriously
considering dropping the current program. Europump since
2009 have spent many 100,000 of Euros to come up with a
successful EPA which will give the European Commission
60TWh of savings.
Discussions are ongoing.
The Extended Product approach standards (pr EN 17038 Parts
1 &2) have are now in translation before final circulation and
publication is expected during 2018.
Part 3 for “Booster sets” (Multiple pump assemblies) the
committee draft has been circulated through CEN for comment
and a meeting to resolve comments is expect in the first
quarter of 2018.
With regards to part 4 (submersible borehole) a draft has now
been received from Darmstadt University which requires
transposing onto the CEN template.

Energy Labelling Regulation
Regulation 2017/1369/EU
Previously Directive 2010/30/EU
No further news
The revised energy labelling framework (Regulation was
published in the Official Journal on 28 July 2017: it applies
from 1 August 2017.
As regards the review of the framework Energy Labelling
Directive, discussions have been ongoing in the European
Parliament over the last few weeks. As a reminder, the
Industry, Research & Energy (ITRE) Committee is the lead
Committee. Members of the ITRE Committee then tabled
around 500 amendments.
In parallel, the Environment (ENVI) Committee voted on its
opinion report which will feed into the ITRE Committee report.
MEPs agreed that basic information about a manufacturer and
its product – such as name and energy efficiency performance
– should be shared publicly.
They maintained the principle of empty top classes in new
labels and the rescaling mechanism (back to A-G scale), but
abolished the differentiation between new and existing labels.
In addition, Member States supported the database. However,
the amount of information has been considerably reduced
(e.g. no test reports) and some provisions have been added to
safeguard confidential information.
Energy Efficiency Directive
2012/27/EU
No further news
On 28 November, the European Parliament (EP) Committee on
Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) adopted the draft report
on the review of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) by 33
votes in favor, 30 against and 2 abstentions.
Members of the ITRE Committee voted for an EU 40% binding
energy efficiency target and national binding targets (article 1)
and a strong article 7.
The Directive requires Member States to install individual
meters or heat cost allocators to measure energy consumption
and allocate the costs in multi-apartment and multi-purpose
buildings where heating, cooling and/or hot water are supplied
from a central/collective installation.
The review has a targeted approach and will focus on Articles
1, 3, 6, 7, 9-11, 20 and 24, in order to assess them in view of
the 2030 energy efficiency target. The BPMA submitted is
own set of comments on the Consultation.
In April 2017 BPMA and members of Europump met again with
the policy writer Serena PONTOGLIO to see if article 8 could be
improved. Whilst Serena fully understand our frustration but
stated that member states are currently trying to dilute other
articles within the Directive and they did not want to reopen
Article 8 through fear that mandated audits could be removed.
She said that Tom Bastin (Tom.bastin@decc.gsi.gov.uk) was
evaluating ESOS in the UK.
Article 8, mandated audits has not been reviewed at this stage
a meeting has been requested again with the writers of Article
8 to discuss the possibility of modifying the article to include a
statement that potential savings within Motor Driven Systems
should become actual savings. Discussions have taken place
with Pneurop (compressed air) and it now appears that a joint
meeting to the EC will take place to discuss options.
Under article 8 of the Directive enterprises that are non
SME are “subject to an energy audit carried out in an
independent and cost-effective manner by qualified
and/or accredited experts or implemented and
supervised by independent authorities under national
legislation by –three years after entry into force of this
Directive- and at least every four years from the date of
the previous energy audit.
BPMA 19 190612_BPMA 2018 12/06/2019 18:25 Page 18

The directive establishes a common framework of measures
for the promotion of energy efficiency within the EU in order to
achieve the 20% energy efficiency target by 2020 and
contains provisions for further improvements beyond that
date.
Each Member State will have to set an indicative national
energy efficiency target, based on, primary or final energy
consumption, primary or final energy savings or energy
intensity.
The directive should result in a 17% improvement in energy
efficiency by 2020 compared to the 20% target, and will be
completed by other measures.
Both the Council and the European Parliament still have to
formally endorse the agreement. Publication in the OJEU is
expected for October 2012.
The UK Government have chosen to introduce the
requirements of the Directive through a Energy Saving
Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). The ESOS scheme information
has been circulated for consultation to all necessary
stakeholders. The BPMA responded to this consultation.
Also the UK government working with BSI have written a PAS
(Public Available Specification) 51215 for the competency of a
lead energy assessor. The BPMA have also made relevant
comments to this document, both are available from
S Schofield upon request.

OUTDOOR NOISE DIRECTIVE
Directive 2000/14/EC (amended by the Directive
2005/88/EC).
The evaluation study on the Outdoor Noise Directive (OND)
and the impact assessment of possible changes in the
legislation have now been finalised. The two study reports
have now been published on the Commission’s dedicated
webpage.
As a next step, the European Commission will write its
summary document on the results of the study (so-called
“Staff Working Document”). This document will be released in
the first quarter 2019. Then, the European Commission will
prepare its proposal for a revision of the OND together with
the impact assessment. The Noise WG meeting has been
postponed to 18 June 2019. Since the Commission’s proposal
is expected early 2020, the revision process will not be
finalised before 2021 or 2022.
In addition, the ‘inception impact assessment’ identifies the 3
main objectives for the review:
1. Reduce noise of outdoor equipment to better protect
workers and citizens;
2. Update and simplify the regulatory environment;
3. Improve innovation and competitiveness.
Finally, the European Commission proposes main policy
options for the OND review, from implementation
improvements or NLF alignment and conversion to a
‘Regulation’ to a full revision. This document highlights
possible changes to the scope, noise limit values, conformity

and data collection requirements (database).
As regards the next step, the European Commission will
launch a 12-week public consultation up to the end of April
2018.
The European Commission updated its guidelines on the
Outdoor Noise Directive (the draft document is available upon
request from the Secretariat). The update consists of editorial
amendments; no change in the substantial content has been
made. The revised guidelines will be published on the
Commission website in June 2017.
As regards the OND review, the European Commission will
launch the impact assessment and evaluation study within the
next few weeks. The Commission legislative proposal to review
the OND is expected in 2019 at the earliest.
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)
(2018/844/EU)
The European Commission continues working on developing
guidelines on EPBD implementation. They are expected to be
finalised before the end of the year and published early 2019.
These guidelines cover a range of issues such as technical
building systems, inspections, long-term renovation strategies,
self-regulating devices and BACS and more (copies available
from the secretariat).
As regards the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI), the second
study on the practical application of the SRI will start mid-
December and a new website will be launched shortly
thereafter. A first stakeholder meeting is foreseen to take
place in February or March, but no concrete dates have been
provided yet.
The deadline to transpose the recently adopted EPBD
(2018/844/EU) is 10 March 2020.
The Directive requires Member States to install individual
meters or heat cost allocators to measure energy consumption
and allocate the costs in multi-apartment and multi-purpose
buildings where heating, cooling and/or hot water are supplied
from a central/collective installation.
As a reminder, the objective of this proposal, part of the
“Clean energy for all Europeans” package, is to accelerate the
cost-effective renovation of existing buildings.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive stipulates that
all EU states make new buildings ‘nearly zero-energy’ by 2021.
The study shows a positive impact of the Energy Performance
Certificate under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive
(Directive 2010/31/EU) on sales and rental prices, indicating
that better energy efficiency is rewarded in the market. In one
of the first studies of its kind to include an analysis of
residential markets in Europe, it was found that higher energy
ratings result in substantially higher sales or rental values of
buildings on average in most of the Member States that were
analysed.

new category of benchmarks which will help investors compare
the carbon footprint of their investments.
The co-rapporteurs Sirpa Pietikäinen (EPP, FI) and Bas
Eickhout (Greens/EFA,NL) published a draft report on 16
November. The draft report adds a specific reference to using
Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and Organisational
Environmental Footprint (OEL) when establishing and updating
the technical screening criteria and a set of harmonised
indicators. The EP also proposes the use of a set of indicators
identifying the degree of sustainability of the activity. ENVI
and ECON Committee are expected to vote the adoption of the
report on 20 February 2019.
On 23-25 April 2018, the Commission held the EU
Environmental Footprint final conference (video recording
available here:
http://ec.europa.eu/environment/eussd/smgp/EFconference_2
018.htm). The aim of the event was to take stock of the work
done by the Commission and stakeholders to develop a
methodology to calculate the environmental performance of
products along their lifetime (“product environmental footprint,
PEF”), in order to harmonise the various existing labels and
standards. The Commission established a PEF methodology in
2013 and started a pilot phase in 27 economic sectors
covering 2/3 of the EU market. 14 sectors (including metal
sheets) completed the pilot phase, and 9 are expected to
finalise it by October 2018. The sectors of hot & cold water
pipe systems, PV generation, uninterrupted power supplies are
included in this last category. Coffee, fish, meat and stationary
sectors were not able to complete the pilot.
Michele Galatola, leader of the Environmental footprint team in
DG Environment, considered the pilot was a great success. A
single set of rules for the EU market was developed, alongside
representative product definitions and benchmarks for average
environmental performance of a product in Europe. The
Commission will deliver free tools for companies to establish
PEF and the Life Cycle Assessment of their products, and will
make available a number of secondary data resources
originating from companies.
Stakeholders who were willing to propose a product category
for the development of Product Environmental Footprint
Category Rules (PEFCRs) or a sector for which to develop
Organisation Environmental Footprint Sector Rules (OEFSRs)
were invited to participate in this call. On the basis of the list
of products and sectors proposed for the pilot scheme,
applications were received for the construction of electricity
transmission lines, lighting systems, batteries, metal sheets,
water treatment, chemistry machinery, cooker hoods, high-
voltage circuit breakers, ICT (data storage), ICT (UPS,
Uninterrupted Power Supplies), refrigerators, toilets and
washing machines.
At the first Europump PEF meeting which BPMA staff and
members attended it was noted that the consultant running
the project would only accept type 3 approvals which would
include 3rd party inspection. This has been debated at
Europump and the goal of any pump related PEF would
EXCLUDE 3rd Part inspection.
This project is currently proceeding and conclusions.
For a better understanding of the process for developing these
rules, testing verification and communication vehicles, the
Commission established a Guidance for the implementation of
the EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and a Guidance
for the implementation of the EU Organisation Environmental
Footprint.
Water European Innovation Partnership, Water Frame
work and Water Reuse
Water Framework Directive
(2000/60/EC)
On 10 October the Commission held the First Stakeholder
Workshop on the Evaluation of the Water Framework Directive
and Floods Directive. During the meeting the Consortium
performing the evaluation study presented their methodology
and preliminary findings. Several issues were raised during
this meeting including the issue of data gaps and reliability of
data from some Member States, the lack of funding for
innovation in the water sector and the lack of cohesion
between Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive and the WFD.
For further information please see the minutes of the meeting.
The European Commission published in September a roadmap
on the Fitness check of the Water Framework Directive (WFD)
(2000/60/EC) and the Floods Directive (2007/60/EC). The
fitness check comes in the context of the evaluation clause
(Article 19(2) of the WFD, and will cover in addition the WFD
‘daughter directives’: Groundwater Directive (2006/118/EC)
and the Environmental Quality Standards Directive
(2008/105/EC). The feedback period will remain open until 4
March 2019.
The purpose is to assess the functioning of the directive and
possible options for simplifying the legislation and reducing the
burden. The Commission will assess the performance of these
directives in the Member States since the implementation in
2000. The fitness check will be linked to the review of the
Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), for
which a Roadmap and public consultation were published in
July (the consultation remains open until 19 October).
The Commission is currently working on assessing the two
cycles of River Basin Management Plans, programmes of
measures, and the first cycle of Flood Risk Management Plans.
The Commission will subsequently publish an
implementation report by December 2018. The
implementation report will be one of the main inputs to the
Fitness Check. However, as the publication is scheduled for
later in the year, the public consultation will remain open until
4 March 2019. The Commission will conduct in parallel other
targeted consultations with Member State authorities and
other relevant stakeholders, including thematic workshops.
Water Reuse
The AGRI Committee adopted on 3 December 2018 the draft
opinion by MEP Marijana Petir (EPP, HR) on the minimum
requirements for water reuse. The ENVI Committee will vote
on the draft report by MEP Simona Bonafe (S&D, IT) on 21
January 2019, in view for a potential adoption in the February
Plenary meeting on 11 February. The report emphasizes the
need to further define the roles and responsibilities of different
stakeholders and holistic evaluations of risk-management
plans. The report supports minimum quality standards and
recommends including salmonella as a parameter.
The ENVI Committee in the Parliament published the draft
report prepared by Simona Bonafè (S&D, IT) on 3 October.
Thus far, the document is only available in Italian, but in
summary, the rapporteur proposes:
a) the need to further define the roles and responsibilities of
different stakeholders in the water reuse supply chain
beyond plant operators,
b) holistic evaluations of risk-management plans by public
authorities, c) supports the Commission proposal on
minimum quality standards, but advocates including
parameters for salmonella,
d) encourages that water reuse be not limited to agriculture
and is applied to other civil and environmental objectives. I

Flotronic Pumps Limited
Flotronic introduces ‘ONE NUT’ barrel unloading
Flotronic has introduced a new barrel and drum unloading
system, combining the unique ‘ONE NUT’ air-operated
diaphragm pump with their barrel unloading skid. The new
system enables you to pump highly viscous materials out of
your barrel at significantly increased flow rates. This system is
built around our ‘ONE-NUT’ sanitary style pump which is based
on our 3A and EHEDG design. This style of pump has already
proven itself in the hygienic /
sanitary industries and is a
match for any environment or
process where avoidance of
product contamination is
paramount. The system can be
Cleaned in Place using the pump
itself or an external CIP rig or,
because of the ‘ONE NUT’ design
of the pump, it can be easily
stripped down for cleaning.
This hygienic hands-free control
of the unloading is efficient and
reliable using proven
technology, with application
across the food, beverage and
pharmaceutical industries.
