LED lighting products exported to Europe and the United States encirclement and suppression"

A campaign against China's LED lighting export products are beginning to kick off. The day before, the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, the United States, European countries received continuous Chile on the improvement of the threshold TBT (LED lamp import agreement on technical barriers to trade). It is understood that only the European Union and the United States to improve the energy efficiency index and test program set, will increase the cost of about 4000000000 yuan to Guangdong LED enterprises, greatly improve China's entry into the US and Europe LED lighting products production cost.

Europe and the United States to raise the threshold of the market or lead to the closure of a large number of small businesses. The industry believes that, for the lack of technology and brand companies, LED processing has been difficult, the threshold to improve or become overwhelmed by their last straw.

The day before, the WTO/TBT center of Guangdong Provincial Bureau of quality supervision has begun to take measures.

LED export monitoring costs rise

Since the end of June Shenzhen Diguang electronic failures, negative news hit again to the LED industry.

Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of quality supervision for the European Union and the United States received national, Chile on improving the import threshold TBT bulletin LED lamp. Reporters learned that the EU regulatory requirements, in the future only the energy efficiency index reached more than 0.2 of the directional LED lights and directional fluorescent lamps to enter the EU market, an increase of more than the previous energy efficiency index requirements of the times of 2.5. Industry analysts pointed out that this index will directly lead to LED production costs increased by more than 20%, to Guangdong's LED companies to bring losses of $about 2000000000.

The United States, the notification of LED and other test procedures, the LED lamp product conformity assessment, market supervision and inspection procedures requirements are very harsh, will bring huge cost of testing costs to Chinese enterprises. If the United States according to the notification requirements, Guangdong province LED export enterprises will bring more than 2 billion yuan of additional costs, will greatly weaken the province's LED lighting products in the U.S. market competitiveness. Industry sources said.

Then, the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau WTO/TBT Center issued a message that: Mexico will implement the new August 21st LED bulb energy efficiency standards.

According to Chen Quan, director of the WTO/TBT center, recently, the European and American countries trying to use their technical advantages and patent monopoly, the establishment of a high degree of technical barriers to trade, in order to protect the interests of their own LED companies. The sources of information are widely distributed in the United States, Europe and the United States, as well as developing countries, such as Chile, and even the least developed countries, such as Uganda.

Relevant person in charge told reporters in Dongguan semiconductor lighting industry association, as an emerging industry, the LED industry in recent years, almost every time there will be new standards and requirements, but the European and American standards, will undoubtedly make the cost of production enterprises in Dongguan rose sharply increased pressure.

Big fish calm, small fish out?

In fact, Europe and the United States has been the main market in Dongguan and Guangdong LED export. 2011, the province's LED industry output value reached 150 billion yuan, accounting for about 70% of the country, the world's total of $50%, exports to Europe and the United States amounted to about 34000000000 yuan.

From a number of countries and regions, encirclement and suppression, Dongguan LED industry will be what kind of impact? Dongguan Huada Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. lighting division director, general manager Peng Junzhong bluntly: in the background of raising the threshold, some enterprises are inevitable. LED processing has been very difficult to do, before doing a point (light-emitting point) price is 3 ~ 4 cents, now only about 1 cents. He admitted.

Dongguan branch of the Digital Technology Co., Ltd. deputy general manager of Huangmei, the European and American market is to raise the threshold of the double-edged sword". "There will certainly be a part of the enterprise drained, but for some of the technical strength, the brand of large enterprises, this is a good news. The original export of small businesses are blocked in the door, leaving the market space needs to be able to meet the standards of enterprises to fill. She pointed out that the larger Dongguan LED enterprises, the proportion of domestic sales is relatively high, so the impact will be smaller than Shenzhen and other places.

Dongguan semiconductor lighting industry association official told reporters that the quality of some well-known enterprises in Dongguan, has been able to adapt to the high standards of Europe and the United states.

Improve the level of production test

In the face of "encirclement and suppression", Dongguan LED enterprises how to deal with? Reporters found that some of the larger LED companies in Dongguan has always been more cautious in the development of overseas markets, so this part of the business in the face of the European and American threshold appears to be more relaxed.

Ke Lei's approach is that through a long period of preparation to run the export products, after a comprehensive test and a longer period of practical application, and then to the foreign market. "Now our export ratio is only 10%," Huangmei said, many enterprises export products, various problems will arise, which brings high maintenance costs, and after a long preparation period of running, it can avoid a lot of maintenance costs.

Dongguan Bangchen photoelectric Co., Ltd. in the first half of this year to invest a lot of money to build material detection, power detection and other 6 laboratories, a substantial increase in the company's engineering and development capabilities. Therefore, in the face of foreign markets to improve the detection costs, the company has been very calm.

"However, there is little time and money to make adjustments to some small export enterprises. "A Dongguan LED industry research believes that this part of the enterprise may wish to domestic sales, or into the Middle East and other emerging markets. "Guangdong province to promote the use of LED lighting products plan" issued at the end of May this year, "Dongguan city promotion should be
