Multiple countries raise LED entry threshold

According to reports, on September 1 this year, the EU's ecological design requirements for directional lights, LED lights and related equipment formally entered the first phase, and the product's energy efficiency requirements, functional requirements, and information requirements must meet the new regulations. For example, energy efficiency requirements such as LED increase 2.5 times. From February 1st of this year, all lamps exported to the European Union need to be reinforced in EMF (electromagnetic field) testing to assess the impact of space electromagnetic fields surrounding the lighting equipment on human health.

From May 5th this year, the new mandatory standards for LED lamps revised by the Mexican economic sector officially came into effect. This standard specifies the minimum energy efficiency requirements, classification, test procedures, labels, and market supervision of LED lamps for outdoor use. On luminous flux markings, the total luminous flux measurement of all outdoor luminaires shall not be less than 90% of the standard value on the product label. The standard also requires that all outdoor LED lamps have a power factor of at least 0.9 and a total harmonic distortion of no more than 20%.

Since last year, the United States, Japan, Israel and other countries have successively implemented important standards related to the LED industry. Such as the United States announced the "Household Appliance Labeling Rules" amendments, the development of a new LED light label requirements; Japan's market sales of LED light bulbs and LED light fixtures included in the "Electrical Appliances Safety Act" control object, must be affixed round PSE logo The technical standards have also been changed.

LED lamps are new products that have emerged in recent years and have a promising market. According to statistics, there are 42 LED production enterprises in Fujian Province. In January-February of this year, Fujian LED lamps exported 176 batches of 103.106 million US dollars, which has become the second largest export category of lamps and lanterns.

Many overseas countries have successively raised the threshold of standards, but many LED lighting manufacturers in China do not pay attention to the standards that have been introduced in various countries. They only produce samples according to customers, and there are great export risks. To this end, the inspection and quarantine department reminded LED lighting manufacturers to earnestly enhance their awareness of quality risks and strictly design and manufacture products in accordance with the standards of the importing country. They must not blindly follow customer requirements and avoid losing due to small losses. At the same time, they should pay close attention to the industry dynamics of other countries and establish access to foreign countries. The channels and mechanisms for standard and technical trade measures, do a good job of collecting standards, and be familiar with the standard requirements for new standards.
