LED lighting products call frequently, three major quality problems need to be vigilant1

According to statistics, only in the first two months of 2017, the European Commission's non-food rapid warning system (RAPEX) Seven recalls were initiated for Chinese-made LED products. Judging from the recalled products, they are mainly LED floodlights, LED lighting lamp strings, LED energy-saving lamps, etc. The main countries that initiated the recall are Spain, France, Poland, Bulgaria, etc. One example after another in recent years, with the upgrading of lighting products, LED products with energy conservation, environmental protection and longer service life have gradually replaced traditional lamps. As the total export volume continues to rise, the recall cases of domestic LED lighting products are also increasing day by day. The sharp contrast between the two shows that while China's LED industry is growing, the quality problem is also worrying. According to statistics, only in the first two months of 2017, the European Commission's non-food rapid warning system (RAPEX) Seven recalls were initiated for Chinese-made LED products. Judging from the recalled products, they are mainly LED floodlights, LED lighting lamp strings, LED energy-saving lamps, etc. The main countries that initiated the recall are Spain, France, Poland, Bulgaria, etc. Product recalls one after another highlight that there is still a certain gap between the overall quality of LED products in China and the world's advanced level. From the comprehensive recall situation, there are mainly the following three problems: A is products waterproof performance not standard easy to be affected with damp be affected with damp lead to lamps internal damaged don't in line with EU Low Voltage Directive requirements. This kind of products mainly appear in LED outdoor lamps. Due to outdoor use, the waterproof requirements of the products are relatively high. If the waterproof requirements of the products do not meet the requirements, it is easy to cause internal damage and fire in the lamps. For example, in February 15, France recalled a LED lamp made in China, and in February 28, Spain recalled a Christmas lamp string made in China. The reason for the recall was the product shell. the waterproof performance of the power cord plug and other parts is not up to standard, resulting in the product not conforming to the low voltage instruction. Second, the product's anti-electric shock protection does not meet the standard requirements, resulting in a recall. The main reasons for such problems are that some manufacturers do not understand the relevant requirements of the EU standard EN60598 and the Low Voltage Directive, the product design is flawed, the anti-electric shock protection is not in place, and there are electric shock hazards in the structure. it was recalled by EU countries. For example, in February 4, Poland launched a recall of a Chinese-made LED lighting. The reason for the recall is that the product has the risk of electric shock in the design, and the poor insulation of the cable may also cause fire. this product does not conform to the Low Voltage Directive, eu EN 60958 standard and IEC60884 standard. Third, there are quality risks in the internal wiring and external wiring of the product, which is easy to cause electric shock, fire, falling and other dangers, endangering the personal and property safety of consumers. This kind of problem is also relatively common. As LED products often generate heat during long-term use, the requirements for internal connecting wires and external cables are relatively high, especially insulation. heat resistance and other properties. If cables that do not meet the requirements are used to save materials, it will bring greater risks. For example, in January 10, Bulgaria recalled a Chinese-made LED floodlight, the main reason is that the cable is too thin, which may cause fire risk due to overheating, and the product does not meet the requirements of eu en 60950 standard on low voltage. The quality of LED lighting products is uneven, and recalls are still frequent. In view of this, the inspection and quarantine department reminds relevant production enterprises: first, it is necessary to timely understand the relevant standards of LED lighting products in developed countries in Europe and the United States, and communicate with foreign customers in a timely manner, from product design, raw material procurement, assembly and production, etc. , to effectively improve product quality. The second is to seriously study the quality problems of various foreign products reported and recalled, draw inferences from one instance, grasp the key links of quality, and turn blind pursuit of low prices into focusing on the products themselves. improve the control of product quality as the direction of enterprise development. The third is to actively apply for product testing and certification, increase the testing of new products, and strengthen contact and communication with inspection and quarantine departments, industry associations, and certification bodies. obtain new quality requirements for LED lighting products and enhance the international market competitiveness of Chinese products.
