Implementation of domestic LED mandatory standards next year

Earlier this year, the European Union issued the "Leading Energy Efficiency Regulations for LED Lighting Products," requiring that all LED lighting products exported to Europe must comply with the new energy efficiency standards as of September 1 this year. On January 1st and September 1st, 2016, the energy efficiency standards for LED lighting products will be gradually increased in three phases.

With the continuous expansion of LED lighting applications, more and more products, consumers are beginning to accept this new light source. At the same time, LED products also exposed many problems and urgently needed industry standard specifications.

According to informed sources, the mandatory national lighting safety standards for the Chinese mainland are currently being developed and are expected to be introduced next year.

The introduction of the new standard is a risk and opportunity coexistence for the enterprise: a group of companies that fail to meet the standards will be kept out of the door and gradually eliminated by the market; those with excellent quality will go better and better.

All along, the LED lamp market has been accused of disorderly competition. Due to the lack of upstream core technologies, this young emerging market has been unable to extricate itself from the difficulties of homogenous competition. "Dachang Xiaochang can produce, everyone fights is the price" This is the helpless voice of a listed company's technical staff.

"At present, China's LED lighting market is caught in a misunderstanding of a price war. All products are basically focused on prices. Excessive price competition makes it difficult to guarantee product quality. Buyers in many countries in Europe and America have given up LED products in China and have produced certain results for MADEINCHINA. "The fear." Nie Pengxiang, president of motivation and detection, expressed concern about the current domestic LED lighting price war, which reflects the lack of industry standards.

All lighting products in Europe and America, including LED, must meet the international standards issued by the International Commission on Illumination (IEC). The international standard divides the lighting hazard into four levels, among which the home lighting product must have a safety level of 0 or 1 Grade 2, grade 2 or higher critical products must be labeled to alert consumers. However, in the past, the LED standard in Mainland China became a "recommended standard", which led to the worrying performance of some domestic LED products.
