The formulation of LED standards, which has always been highly advocated, has made great progress this year. Relevant national standards have been released one after another, and some standards have been formally implemented since April. At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of industry and information technology approved and issued 9 industry standards; The National Standardization Administration Committee has issued 6 LED related standards, plus the previous two mandatory national standards, a total of 8. The introduction of a series of new standards in China will help promote the development and technological innovation of China's LED industry, and promote the more standardized and healthy development of the LED lighting industry.
At present, except for the safety requirements for LED modules for general lighting and part 14 of lamp control devices: special requirements for DC or AC electronic control devices for LED modules, which will be formally implemented at the end of this year, other standards have been formally implemented at the beginning of this year.
"Standards will become the threshold for copycat enterprises"
One quarter of the country's LED manufacturers are in Guangdong, including many small family workshop manufacturers. These small manufacturers rely on price advantage and short production cycle, and there are still some customers in the low-end market. The products produced by these small enterprises are basically difficult to meet the requirements, and these enterprises may be rejected by the standards. On the contrary, for large enterprises, the standard is not a threshold, but provides a more advanced technical benchmark. Relevant personnel of three well-known led enterprises, OSRAM (China) Lighting Co., Ltd., Guangdong xuelaite Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Lehman Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd., all said that the standard is not a problem.
Standards will keep pace with the times
After the introduction of this series of standards, some enterprises have questioned the progressiveness of the standards. At present, the performance requirements of LED application products are constantly changing and improving, and the products are not yet mature, so it is difficult to formulate appropriate application product standards. Perhaps just after the standard was formulated, the product technology has greatly exceeded the current standard level. The standard of LED will be gradual. The establishment of standards requires a process. Many products have not been finalized, and the technology is also developing day by day. Therefore, standards can be formulated step by step and planned according to the development progress of the LED industry.
A relevant person from the Ministry of industry and information technology said that the release of these nine electronic industry standards is only the first step in the standardization of lighting technology, and there is still a long way to go to improve and perfect this standard system. At present, the relevant standards working group has started to formulate new electronic industry standards, including the test methods and technical specifications for LED application epitaxial wafers, the technical specifications for low-power LED chips, the naming rules for LED devices, the reliability test methods for LED components, and the feasibility series standards for solid-state lighting equipment, which will be completed this year. In addition, the standard working group will also develop test methods for LED module components, develop a series of standards for power IC and control IC, and develop detailed specifications for LED devices for different applications.
