[F1 Article 2 U.K. Definitions

[F2 The definitions set out in the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010 apply; and for any term that is not defined in those Regulations, the definitions set out in Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products, as it had effect immediately before IP completion day, apply. The following definitions also apply—]

(1)

‘circulator’ means an impeller pump, with or without pump housing, which has the rated hydraulic output power of between 1 W and 2 500 W and is designed for use in heating systems or in secondary circuits of cooling distribution systems;

(2)

‘glandless circulator’ means a circulator with the rotor directly coupled to the impeller and the rotor immersed in the pumped medium;

(3)

‘standalone circulator’ means a circulator, designed to operate independently from the product;

(4)

‘product’ means an appliance that generates and/or transfers heat;

(5)

(b)

the circulator is designed to be speed controlled by the product;

(c)

the circulator is designed for safety features not suitable for standalone operation (ISO IP classes);

(d)

the circulator is defined as part of product approval or product CE marking;
