New policy on LED lighting products implemented in Europe in September1

The new energy efficiency requirements for LED lighting products will be officially implemented in Europe from September this year. At that time, LED lighting products exported to Europe need to meet the requirements of the new energy efficiency standards, which also means that China's LED lighting products exported to Europe need to strengthen product quality. It is understood that the new regulations will be implemented in three phases: the start-up time of the phase is September 1, 2013, the second phase is September 1, 2014, and the third phase is September 1, 2016. The EU is a region with high import requirements for LED products. LED products entering the EU market must meet the safety requirements in the Low Voltage Directive, the electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the electromagnetic compatibility directive, and the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS)And scrapped electronic and electrical equipment instructions (WEEE) Environmental protection requirements and ecological design instructions for energy-consuming products (ErP)Energy efficiency requirements in. In addition, LED products also need to comply with the conformity assessment procedures stipulated in the corresponding regulations. Only in this way can CE marks be affixed and enter the EU market smoothly. The inspection and quarantine department reminds enterprises: First of all, we must actively change our concepts and increase the attention to product energy efficiency indicators and ecological design requirements; Secondly, we must establish a sense of initiative, in the quality management, the raw materials, production safety and factory inspection; In product development, pay attention to energy efficiency design requirements to ensure that products meet the requirements of ERP instructions; After that, we should actively do a good job in product conformity testing, adapt to the changing energy efficiency limits and testing program requirements, and win the initiative of China's LED products in the international market through continuous improvement of product performance. The quantity requirement on the quality of LED lighting products is not secondary, and should be further paid attention to by relevant product enterprises. Domestic enterprises can only stand in the increasingly fierce competition by improving product quality.
