No efficiency regulations are known for Morocco. However, conformity with the local guidelines for electrical products must be proven. The Moroccan Ministry of Industry, Trade, Green and Digital Economy has issued a conformity program (VOC - Verification of Conformity) as of February 1, 2020. The conformity program is binding since 20.06.2020. The conformity program implements the law 24-09 on the safety of products and services from 2015 for certain commodity tariff numbers. |

Electric drives in industrial applications consume up to 70 % of the total energy required. For many companies, this offers
great potential for optimisation.
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS supplies a wide range of electric motors, which meet all common global efficiency regulations
and standards. Our motors are used in many applications because they are not just powerful and robust, but can also be
combined with all NORD gear units.
Whether in agitators, conveyor systems, intralogistics or the food industry: NORD electric motors can be found wherever
high performance is required. They operate reliably over many years with very high efficiency. This saves operating costs
for our customers and at the same time helps protect the environment.
