LED industry standards when to get on track

LED lighting continues to accelerate the pace of popularization, LED lighting products are also beginning to enter ordinary families. But the LED products on the market and there is no uniform standard, which not only allows users to choose the product affected, but also further makes the development of the industry can not be sustained.

In recent years, the quality problem of LED lighting is often exposed, the problem of LED blue light has been pushed to the public's vision again and again, causing a lot of people's fear of LED lighting. According to the LED standard light source, LED industry is healthy and so on, industry experts, the media are a large number of rumor and explanation, but this is only to some extent alleviate the doubts of consumers, about LED, LED standard question can be heard without end call it as one falls, another rises. More than half of the reasons for this phenomenon is probably because there is no uniform industry standards, so that consumers are jittery".

Failed to unify the standard LED export test numerous

China does not have a unified LED industry standards, it will lead to the diversification of the market development, but also make the product in the custom stage, the formation of various brands of products in the market competition. Consumer groups in the choice of a brand must be loyal to the brand, because the brand's power supply, the driver can not be universal, fault repair must return to the original factory.

In fact, such a market situation will give users a lot of pressure to buy products, LED lighting as an emerging industry, in order to develop it must break all the resistance. Compared to traditional lighting LED lighting, there are still expensive price weakness. Although many LED companies are constantly trying to reduce the gap between traditional lighting, but on the current market, standards and technology, this research is not very effective. Although China has become a big exporter of LED lighting, but still faces a variety of difficulties. European and American countries and enterprises are also trying to use their technical advantages and patent monopoly, set up a high level of technical barriers to trade, in order to protect the interests of domestic LED enterprises, suppress the rise of China's LED industry.

The frequency of technical barriers to trade, and constantly improve the EU Erp directive, mandatory implementation of TBT in the United States, Mexico informed appraisal standards, domestic enterprises export LED lighting products purely in the form of OEM, international companies strong push low price of LED lighting products, the export of domestic enterprises is weakened because of factors such as price advantage with tariff...... All of these have become a stumbling block for LED lighting export enterprises in china.

According to LED lamps export statistics show that the size of LED lighting exports in foreign markets grew rapidly. But this does not mean that the market is very good, this is because the government in promoting energy conservation and environmental protection, the elimination of some of the traditional lighting, LED lighting is replaced, but growth will be more stable, and the competition will be more and more. 2012, the Guangdong Quality Supervision Bureau received the European Union, the United States, Chile and other countries have to raise the threshold for imports of LED lamps notification. At that time, the European and American market to improve the threshold for many smes. Recently, the EU's "LED lighting products, the latest energy efficiency regulations" is undoubtedly worse.

Most of the EU LED new standard Zhongshan LED enterprises can not reach the standard

The European Union recently issued the "Regulations" of the new energy efficiency requirements of LED lighting products, since September 1st this year, all exports to Europe LED lighting products must meet the new energy efficiency standards, and is divided into three stages in the next three years to gradually increase the energy efficiency standards of LED lighting products.

The news spread in the industry, many Zhongshan LED lighting products export enterprises began to complain incessantly". The introduction of this standard to the export of China's LED industry has brought invisible pressure. According to the provisions of the regulations, the EU issued the provisions of the energy efficiency requirements for 2014 is 2.2 times the standard. Just in 2014, the standard is more than 2 times the standard of our country, as China's largest production capacity of LED, this standard in China has formed a huge barrier. According to the Zhongshan Municipal Bureau of inspection and quarantine statistics show that in the first half of 2013, Zhongshan inspection of the export of electric light sources and lamps worth $570 million. The European Union and the United States are still the largest two overseas markets in Zhongshan, accounting for about 42.9% of total exports. If at that time our country's product standards can not meet the requirements of the EU regulations, China's LED lighting industry suffered great losses.

In the LED industry since China is in the industrial chain of the upper and middle reaches of the bright younger generation, most of the patents in the hands of foreign manufacturers, the current situation in China is limited to this, a large number of patents in the downstream industry chain. This situation has also led to a certain extent, the lack of standards in China, LED industry, such as the lack of quality of the actual situation. In Zhongshan, LED companies are mostly small and medium enterprises, as well as a lot of OEM processing, although the provisions of the EU so that the industry suffered a major resistance, but there are still some people see the hope of this.

Operating in the ancient town of a LED lighting company Peng Jiangbo said that he did not receive the specific provisions of the new energy efficiency standards, but in accordance with previous experience, the new energy efficiency standards come out, certainly have an impact on the enterprise. However, he believes that this is a benign effect, because the high efficiency of the standard means that the higher requirements of the quality of products, all consumers are beneficial and harmless. From the enterprise, this is also a market-oriented role. This will greatly enhance the company's ability to enhance R & D, production in line with the European market standards
