(8)The manufacturing of electrical equipment has an important role in contributing substantially to climate change mitigation by, in particular, furthering the uptake of renewable sources of energy in the Union electric grids and developing recharging installations for zero emissions vehicles and smart energy usage tools for households. To further unlock the potential of electrification in the Union and to further accelerate investments into the manufacturing of electrical equipment, it is necessary to lay down technical screening criteria for the manufacturing of electrical equipment.
