4 LED lighting industry standards introduced

A few days ago, Guangdong Province issued 11 local standards concerning LED lighting, which will further advance the standardization of the industry. I believe that in the past year, there will be a lot of people who spoke about the lack of industry standards for LED lighting and the disordered competition. However, since the beginning of this year, a standard has emerged. First is the national standard for "Embedded LED Lamp Performance Requirements" that was newly formulated at the beginning of January. After the release, the standard was the first national standard for the performance of LED lamps and lanterns that was introduced in China. Then, a series of LED lighting related standards were issued successively by various local government departments or industry organizations. Although they have not been perfected so far, the overall standardization of the industry remains. on the way.

Guangdong issued 58 local standards involving 11 LED lighting

In July this year, 58 local standards of Guangdong Province approved by the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau were formally implemented, involving 11 LED lighting industries, including elevator lighting developed by Jiangmen Junda Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., a company in Jiangmen Hi-tech Zone. With the LED lighting design standard (DB44/T1336-2014), this standard was established for the first time in the province and even in the whole country.

It is reported that the LED lighting design standard for elevator lighting stipulates standards such as lighting standard value, quality, energy saving evaluation, lighting power supply and power distribution. It is applicable to DC voltage below rated voltage of 250V and AC voltage below 1000V, which can be widely used in office buildings, commercial residential buildings, The lighting system of passenger elevators and cargo elevators in public places such as shopping malls, stations, subways, and airports.

LED explosion-proof lamp lighting related standards

In July, the National Standards Committee initiated three plans for the development of LED explosion-proof lamps, aiming at standardizing the market, guiding industries, and promoting innovation in the fields of LED lighting, intelligent lighting control, application interface specifications, and accelerated detection methods. . On the international front, the Zhaga Consortium announced the Book7 and Book8 specifications for the LED explosion-proof light engine interface. The new energy efficiency standard for LED explosion-proof lamps developed by the European Union was formally implemented in March 2014. New products for the LED explosion-proof lights on the market are all affixed with energy labels.

4 LED lighting industry standards introduced

The Alliance of Semiconductor Lighting Technology Evaluation and China Semiconductor Lighting/LED Industry and Application Alliance announced in April the safety requirements, performance requirements and non-directional self-ballasted LED lamp specifications and performance requirements for LED double-ended lamps. standard. Among them, the "non-directional self-ballasted LED lamp specification classification for general lighting" as an important basic standard for the semiconductor lighting industry, has been adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission, the authoritative international standards organization. For the first time in the world, this classification standard puts forward “lumens” that represent lighting effects instead of the traditional “tiles”. As a new concept for dividing LED lamp specifications, it can better reflect the characteristics and advantages of LED lamps such as high efficiency and energy saving.

In September, LED driver power was included in the 3C compulsory certification

The CNCA combined with the implementation experience of the pilot certification implementation rules, comprehensively carried out adjustments and revisions of the enforcement rules for specific product compulsory certifications, among which the LED driving power was included in the 3C compulsory certification category and was implemented on September 1.

The establishment of regional standards is not far behind

In view of the fact that the national LED standard has not been fully covered, many areas in China have started or have already established LED product standards applicable to the industry in certain regions. At the end of March of this year, a LED company in Jiangxi Province adopted the Guangdong LED standard and released new technologies and new products “to de-illuminate LED standard optical components”.

In the formulation of standards, Quanzhou LED industry is not far behind, start this work in June this year. A few days ago, Optoelectronics Research Institute established a standardization laboratory and Quanzhou Standardization Association will work together to formulate a Quanzhou LED local quality standard system.

The lighting standard will gradually become clear and the market will show a standardized development in the next three years

The lack of LED standards has been criticized and has also had a negative impact on the healthy development of the industry. Many industry insiders believe that this is due to the fact that the development of LED lighting is not mature enough and many aspects are developing. With the gradual improvement and stabilization of technology, this It is more timely to issue corresponding standards. In response, Ye Jianbo, general manager of Hangzhou Zhongheng Paiwei Power Co., Ltd., said: “The development time of LED lights is relatively short and there are technological breakthroughs every year. Many standards are applicable this year and will not work next year. This is also an important reason for the lack of standards. In addition, different corporate technologies have different understandings of standards, which also has an impact on the inconsistency of standards."

For the standardization of the lighting industry, Song Dong, the president of Jinko Electronics (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., shared his opinions. There is no standard for the LED lighting industry in the early stage, because many statements and practices in the industry are not uniform. But since 2007, the standard of LED has been gradually programmed, and everyone is following this rule in the field of LED lighting. Only with standardized things can we develop and grow in order to survive for a long time. Through the past few years of precipitation, within the industry, especially within the module of light sources, consensus has been reached that many well-known brands are tending to standardization. In the future, small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry will gradually standardize. Only standards can Get popular.

At the same time, Song Dong told reporters: “I personally believe that the longest period is three years. All products will become standardized. From 2005 to now, LED lighting has gone through almost 10 years, and a lot of technology has been deposited. It is believed that in 2017, all products in the LED lighting industry must be standardized."
