Underwriters Laboratories Inc. a (UL), a global leader in product safety testing and certification, announced the release of ANSI / UL 8750, a safety standard for LED (light-emitting diode) lighting products. This first edition of the standard creates a global security standards platform that will be able to serve a wide range of LED lighting equipment and even the entire supply chain of LED lighting technology. 10L Agriculture Drone,Spraying Drone,Uav Folding Drone,Uav Drone Crop Sprayer Xuzhou Jitian Intelligent Equipment Co.

“The UL 8750 provides manufacturers in need of a single, single safety standard to test their LED products and related components sold in the US,†said Alberto Uggetti, General Manager, UL Lighting Business Unit. “This new standard is also given The vast majority of consumers are confident that those LED products bearing the UL mark have passed the necessary safety tests." For the vast Chinese market, the release of this standard will provide UL with a one-stop solution for domestic LED manufacturers. Helping them succeed in gaining market access in North America provides a strong technical basis.
With the promotion of energy efficiency and clean energy by governments, LED technology has become more and more widely used in various lighting products, from general lighting, pool lighting to electronic signal lights and even holiday lights. Gradually changing our lives. According to a report by market research firm Strategies Unlimited, the global LED market is expected to exceed $5 billion in 2012, benefiting from the constant innovation of market technology and energy conservation and environmental protection. This high-speed development is also reflected in the Chinese market. China's LED industry has grown rapidly in the past few years, and with the “Ten Cities and Ten Thousand†semiconductor lighting application project promoted by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, China's LED lighting market It is expected to enter a new development process. However, since LED technology is mostly used in new high-voltage light output electrical products, the safety hazards brought by it cannot be ignored. For example, the overheating of electrical appliances, electric shock or fire, etc., may hinder the accelerated development of LED technology and expand the penetration field.
Given this potential risk, the absence of industry standards has become an urgent issue. To this end, UL has specially held a lighting industry summit forum, inviting more than 100 representatives from industry, government, research and testing institutions to discuss in depth the topics of LED technology development, lighting design and manufacturing future applications. . Thanks to the discussion of the forum and UL's rich experience in lighting security for more than 80 years, UL released three safety standards research outlines in January 2007, and finally released UL 8750 based on these three outlines.
UL's testing capabilities span the globe, and its superior laboratories provide customers with product testing services based on UL standards and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standards to help customers gain global market access. In addition, UL is the only organization that has a US-certified LED energy efficiency testing laboratory. UL is very optimistic about the Chinese market. With its deep global operating experience and strong local service capabilities, UL's global certification program can simplify the testing and certificate issuance process, greatly improve the efficiency of certification, and provide Chinese manufacturing companies with successful access to the international market. Guarantee.
LED technology is an important part of UL's global lighting business. As early as the early 1920s, UL had drafted the first standard for the lighting industry. This standard has been widely used in the history of lighting development, and has undergone many changes, such as the widely used fluorescent lamps. Today, UL provides testing and certification services for lighting products and their components worldwide, based on more than 30 safety and performance standards. At a time when humanity is facing another technology flight, UL will shoulder the responsibility of actively promoting the development of LED technology, and strive for safe and energy-saving lighting products.
