New challenges for LED companies in Europe

America, Japan, EU and other developed economies have formulated relevant standards to regulate the safety of LED products, performance, energy efficiency and other requirements. September 1st, LED lighting products latest energy efficiency requirements will be officially implemented in europe. By then, LED lighting products exported to Europe to meet the new energy efficiency standards.

It is understood that the new regulations will be implemented in 3 phases: the first phase of the start time is September 1, 2013, the second stage is in September 1, 2014, the third phase is in the year of September 1, 2016.

The EU is the highest demand for imports of LED products. LED products into the EU market, must comply with the safety requirements of low voltage directive, the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility EMC directive, restrictions on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) and the waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in environmental protection requirements and energy product eco design directive (ErP). Energy efficiency requirements. In addition, LED products also need to comply with the relevant provisions of the law of conformity assessment procedures, the only way to add CE logo, the smooth entry into the EU market.

In the face of new challenges, inspection and quarantine departments to remind the enterprises: first, to actively change their ideas, to improve energy efficiency indicators and ecological design requirements of the degree of concern; secondly, to establish the awareness of the initiative, in quality management, good raw materials, production safety and factory inspection; in product development, focus on energy efficiency design requirements and to ensure that the products meet the requirements of the ERP directive; finally, to actively carry out product compliance testing work, changing the allowable value of energy efficiency and test procedures are required to win the initiative of China's LED products in the international market through continuous improvement of product performance.
