On April 28, 2025, the updated NOM standard was published in the DOF, this standard establishes energy efficiency requirements for motor-pump sets and motor pumps used to pump clean water.
This standard applies to equipment with power ratings ranging from 0.149 kW (1/5 HP) to 1.492 kW (2 HP). This equipment is commonly used in homes, schools, clinics, hospitals, and residential units, where clean water is required for various daily activities.
With the update, the motor power range was modified, and a maximum Pump Energy Index (PEI) was established as a specification. This allows for comparing equipment with the same electrical power, regardless of the type of impeller used. In addition, the term "domestic" was eliminated, which prevented some importers and marketers from evading compliance with current regulations by specifying that their equipment was for other uses.
**WHOM DOES THIS IMPACT? **
The direct impact is on consumers, manufacturers, importers, and the environment.
**CONCLUSION: **
The NOM-004-ENER-2025 standard has a significant impact due to its economic and environmental benefits and its ability to improve energy efficiency in a wide range of applications.
