New LED lighting regulations in 2014

In recent years, China's lighting industry has flourished, and the scale of production has expanded rapidly, becoming a key export product that is driven side by side with home appliances. LED electric light source has risen strongly as the leader of lamps and lanterns, and has also become the target of technical regulations and standards in various countries. Regulations and Standards emerge one after another, and deterrence shows that various new regulations in LED lighting industry have swept through along with barrier effect and become risk factors with strong concealment. Recent regulatory trends worthy of attention include: first, the energy testing method continues to be tightened. The US Department of Energy proposes light emitting diodes (LED)New energy testing procedure for bulbs. The standard specifies the method for measuring lumen output, input power and relative spectral distribution to determine the correlated color temperature. including luminous flux, input power, related color, temperature, rated life and other aspects of the detection. Second, the certification process is more stringent. China National Commission released 2014 23rd, announcement the original mandatory certification implementation rules to adjust revised LED power supply and products will be September 1 this year the formal was into mandatory CCC certification range. In addition, Chile issued a circular to stipulate the certification procedures and safety requirements for incandescent lamp strings and LED lamp strings in series or in parallel with a voltage not exceeding 250 volts. as well as the inspection items, standards and corresponding defect classification of lamp string products, and define the selection of sample quantity and the basis for judging whether it is qualified under different certification systems. chilean inspection items include 12 types of tests, such as classification, marking, structure, creepage distance and electrical clearance, insulation resistance and electrical strength. The third is the mandatory inspection threshold. The mandatory inspection of LED bulbs has been implemented in Taiwan since July. The test items include safety, performance and electromagnetic interference. will be fined NT $200 thousand or more and NT $2 million or less. Exports are blocked, and the risk of electric shock is the first cause of this year's 1- In July, only the EU rapid warning system for non-food consumer goods (RAPEX) There have been 54 notifications for Chinese-made lighting products, and most of them are not in compliance with the EU Low Voltage Directive (LVD) Products of EU standard EN60598 and EU standard en14059. Among them, the risk of electric shock is the first to bear the brunt, and the continuous focus of accidents is attributed to the following factors: first, design defects, easy access to live parts or high-voltage parts; The second is the lack of insulation, the creepage distance and electrical clearance between the main line and the secondary line are insufficient, the two are easy to collide, and the insulation between the conductive parts of the product and the metal conductor is insufficient; Third, there is no transformer that can provide safe low voltage output. Other reasons for the recall include the presence of parts that can be contacted with the human body, incorrect product instructions, and related product labeling or specification confusion. Control Risks and promote growth simultaneously, and create a new situation of exports. Even if the export of lamps is difficult, its power engine is still strong. Ningbo lamps illuminate 157 countries on 5 continents and have formed a complete industrial chain with an annual output value of more than yuan. LED electric light source products include ceiling lamps, wall lamps, chandeliers, table lamps, floor lamps, Nightlight, festival decorative lamps and other products to add new bricks for export. This year 1- July Ningbo port export lamps, lighting device and similar articles of about 11. US $0. 9 billion, up 9. Year-on-year. 87. With the upgrading of LED lighting industry, the situation restricted by laws and regulations at home and abroad is also getting worse day by day. Energy efficiency index and ecological design are becoming the main theme day by day. After entering the benign development track, technical barriers put forward new requirements for the reshaping of the industrial structure. In order to bring more bonus effects to the lamp industry, efforts should be made in three aspects: first, strengthen product testing and control capabilities. Perfect the self-inspection and self-control ability aiming at the weak points of quality control, strengthen the standard compliance examination, and conduct type tests strictly in accordance with international standards; In terms of quality management, raw materials, production safety and export inspection should be properly controlled, and energy-saving and environment-friendly raw materials and parts that meet the requirements of energy utilization should be adopted. The second is to improve the technical support system. Taking strengthening the independent innovation of products as the main line, we will focus on breaking through the key manufacturing technologies that restrict the development of lamps and lanterns, improve the added value of products, improve brand recognition and enhance the soft power of brand building by improving the level of production equipment and optimizing the product structure. The third is to pay close attention to early warning information. Refer to the sensitive focus issues and high-risk quality and safety projects involved in the notification recall to rectify, and work hard to clarify the specific product requirements and response plans that need to be mastered, and promote sustainable export growth.
