After consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum,
Whereas:
(1) Experience gained in implementing Commission Regulation (EC) No 640/2009 (2) has revealed the need to amend certain provisions of Regulation (EC) No 640/2009 to avoid unintended impacts on the motor market and on the performance of the products covered by that Regulation.
(2) Recent developments in the market of electric motors have led to changes on the limit values applied to altitude, maximum and minimum ambient air temperatures and water coolant temperatures applied to consider that a motor works under extreme conditions and in consequece a special design is needed. These developments need to be reflected on the Regulation.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 19(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC,
