4. Products covered (HS or CCCN where applic able, otherwise national tariff heading. 
ICS numbers may be provided in addition, where applicable): Low-voltage three-
phase squirrel-cage high-efficiency induct ion motors (CCCN 8501.51.90, CCCN 8501.52.90 
and CCCN 8501.53.91) 
5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document: Requirements on 
Energy Efficiency and the Inspection of Low-Voltage Three-Phase Squirrel-Cage Induction 
Motors (including as a component of specified equipment ), (English translation available; 4 pages, in Chinese) 
6. Description of content: The Bureau of Energy intends to propose an energy efficiency 
inspecting scheme to regulate the energy performance for low-voltage three-phase 
squirrel-cage induction motors (including as a component of specified equipment). The 
proposed inspecting scheme applies to both imported products and domestic manufactured products. In addition to the scheme, the proposed technical regulations also specify 
labelling and inspecting requirements, the conformity assessment procedures and post-
market surveillance actions. Products that fa il to conform to the requirements will be 
prohibited from being sold and placed on the domestic market.  
This labelling for low-voltage three-phase squirrel-cage high-efficiency induction motors, 
according to CNS14400, shall include the following items:  
1) Name (three-phase squirrel-cage high-efficiency induction motor) 
2) Insulation class (A, E, B, F or H class) 
3) Number of poles 
4) Rated output power (kW or HP) G/TBT/N/TPKM/148/Rev.1 
 
- 2 - 
 
  5) Rated voltage (V) 
6) Rated frequency (Hz) 7) Current (approximately primary current at rated output, A) 
8) Rated speed (speed in revolutions per minute at the rated output, rpm) 
9) Symbol for the degree of protection by enclosure (IP code) 10) Symbol for cooling method (IC code) 
11) Temperature of coolant (can be omitted if the temperature is 40°C) 
12) Symbol of motor type 13) Serial number and year of manufacture 
14) Manufacturer's name or trade name 
15) Efficiency at rated load 16) Type of efficiency (IE2 or IE3) 
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where applicable: 
To promote energy using efficiency of electric  appliances to achieve the goal of energy 
conservation and environmental protection.  
8. Relevant documents:  Energy Management Act; CNS 14400: Low-Voltage Three-Phase 
Squirrel-Cage High-Efficiency Induction Motors 
9. Proposed date of adoption:   1 January 2015 
Proposed date of entry into force:   1 January 2015   
10. Final date for comments: 60 days from the date of notification 
11. Texts available from: Nati onal enquiry point [X] or address, telephone and fax
