Improving the quality of products and breaking the technical barriers to trade of LED lighting export

Europe and the United States as the world's important LED application base, the use of high technical requirements and safety standards of technical barriers, LED export enterprises are facing. Technical barriers to trade has become the biggest obstacle to China's LED lighting products such as LED lamp screen export trade. In recent months, the European Union and the United States imported products to improve the standard of LED lighting industry adds haze, this also means that a total of more than 8 thousand LED enterprises export of the road will be very difficult, by European and Japanese technical barriers "encirclement and suppression" and in Pro poor demand, too awkward predicament.

The provisions of the "international standard" IEC62560-2011 lamp: "lighting lamps and lanterns should be used in accordance with the normal installation and wiring and to replace the light source or can replace the starter and must open the lamp, if not the manual operation, the live parts is untouchable". Inspection and quarantine personnel in the export of products in the process of routine inspection, repeatedly found that a number of manufacturers of LED lights at one end of the lamp holder into the lamp holder, the other free end for easy to touch live parts.

Recently, the Wuxi entry-exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau found in an area lighting products export inspection, self ballasted LED lamp with a general lighting production export enterprises, due to the irrational structure, which was judged to be unqualified and unable to export.

Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau WTO/TBT Center recently informed that the European Union, the United States, Chile, Uganda and other countries and regions on the country's directional lights and LED lighting products set a higher threshold. The coverage of energy saving and environmental protection, ecological design, energy efficiency labeling, testing, performance, safety, size, weight, shape and other aspects of the higher, more stringent requirements for entering the country directional lights and LED lighting products. For example, the European Union on the directional table lamp and LED lamps put forward the requirements of high efficiency.

According to statistics, in 2012 a total of 56 thousand batches of Ningbo export lamps, the value of $1 billion 450 million, compared with the previous year, an increase of 12% and 23%. From the product categories, with outdoor lamp, solar lamp, working lamp as the representative of the traditional lamp is still the main product exports, total exports accounted for 30%, representing an increase of 33%; as the "LED light force" in the lamp in the proportion increased year by year, accounting for 22% of total exports, a substantial increase of 47% over the previous year. From trade partners, the EU is still the outdoor lighting export "main position", accounting for 51% of total exports increased by 13% over the previous year; the importance of the American market has become increasingly significant, accounting for 20% of total exports, a substantial increase of 48% over the previous year. Judging from the field test, the export of substandard batches of lamps fell 40% over the previous year; export lamps unqualified rate decreased by 0.41 percentage points over the previous year.

LED lighting market has started, but affected by the price, the domestic market demand is insufficient, most of the products are exported overseas. Therefore, the improvement of the LED lighting products export standards, for some export-oriented enterprises will bring no small impact.

Enterprises should take a positive view of the EU to raise barriers to entry regulations, standards and international standards is an inevitable trend, there may be further follow-up. General manager of Shanghai excitation Testing Technology Service Co., Ltd. Nie Pengxiang seems to have been expected". He pointed out that the quality of lamps are mainly two indicators, one is the safety issue, one is the product performance. Traditional lighting companies have been more concerned about security issues, but when the lights into the LED era, the market will certainly put forward higher requirements on product performance.

From the perspective of the export situation in Yinzhou, there are two obvious features: first, energy conservation and environmental protection products into a new bright spot. In recent years, countries in promoting energy-saving emission reduction trend, LED lights more and more favored in the international market, lighting products continue to occupy the field of energy-saving and environmental protection, has become the biggest highlight of Yinzhou lighting enterprises; two is the main position of the export market in developed countries Yinzhou lamps. From the importing country distribution, Yinzhou lighting has been all over the world 112 countries and regions, the EU and the United States is still the main export market. The EU export value of $69 million 7 thousand, accounting for about 40% of total exports, exports to the United States the value of $30 million 309 thousand, exports to emerging market countries also showed good growth.
