Sourcing & Compliance
The 3AXD50000185245: The lifecycle status is active, meaning ABB continues to manufacture this drive. No end-of-life notice is on record. For compliance, the WEEE category is 4 (Large Equipment, any external dimension more than 50 cm), which affects end-of-life disposal reporting in EU markets. The drive is exempt from EU ecodesign energy efficiency requirements (Regulation EU/2019/1781) because its output power exceeds 1000 kW — that exemption is standard for this power class, not a loophole.
