  "text": "(1) Paragraphs 1 to 5, 6(3)(a), (b), (e) to (k) and (5) of this Schedule do not apply to—\n(a) motors completely integrated into a product and whose energy performance cannot be tested independently from the product, even with the provision of a temporary end-shield and drive-end bearing, and for this purpose the motor must—\n(i) share common components (apart from connectors) with the driven unit; and\n(ii) not be designed in such a way that the motor can be separated in its entirety from the driven unit and operate independently;\n(b) motors with an integrated VSD (compact drives) whose energy performance cannot be tested independently from the VSD;\n(c) motors with an integrated brake which forms an integral part of the inner motor construction and can neither be removed nor powered by a separate power source during the testing of the motor efficiency;\n(d) motors specifically designed and specified to operate exclusively—\n(i) at altitudes exceeding 4,000 metres above sea-level;\n(ii) where ambient air temperatures exceed 60 °C;\n(iii) in maximum operating temperature above 400 °C;\n(iv) where ambient air temperatures are less than -30 °C; or\n(v) where the water coolant temperature at the inlet to a product is below 0 °C or above 32 °C;\n(e) motors specifically designed and specified to operate wholly immersed in a liquid;\n(f) motors specifically qualified for the safety of nuclear installations;\n(g) explosion-protected motors specifically intended for use in mining, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 1A to the Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2016;\n(h) motors in cordless or battery-operated equipment;\n(i) motors in hand-held equipment whose weight is supported by hand during operation;\n(j) motors in hand-guided mobile equipment moved while in operation;\n(k) motors with mechanical commutators;\n(l) totally enclosed non-ventilated motors;\n(m) motors placed on the market before 1 July 2029 as substitutes for motors identical to those integrated in products placed on the market before—\n(i) in the case of motors referred to in paragraph 1, 1 July 2021,\n(ii) in the case of motors referred to in paragraph 2, 1 July 2023,\nand specifically marketed as such;\n(n) multi-speed motors, which are motors with multiple windings or with a switchable winding, providing a different number of poles and speeds;\n(o) motors designed specifically for the traction of electric vehicles.\n(2) Paragraphs 7, 8(3)(a) to (c) and (f) to (k) of this Schedule do not apply to—\n(a) VSDs integrated into a product and whose energy performance cannot be tested independently from the product, such that an attempt to do so would render the VSD or the product inoperative;\n(b) VSDs qualified specifically for the safety of nuclear installations;\n(c) regenerative drives;\n(d) drives with sinusoidal input current;\n(e) VSDs consisting of a single cabinet, comprising VSDs which all comply with these Regulations.\n(3) In this paragraph “nuclear installation” has the meaning given in section 26 of the Nuclear Installations Act 1965.",
