In recent years, developed economies such as the United States, Japan, the European Union (eu) have formulated relevant standards, the safety of the LED products, performance, energy efficiency requirements specification. On September 1, LED lighting products to the latest requirements of energy efficiency will be formally implemented in Europe. Then, LED lighting products such as LED light bulbs, LED Candelabra bulbs and 360 degree led bulbs exported to Europe must conform to the requirements of the new energy efficiency standards.
It is understood that the new rules will be implement in three phases: the first stage of the start-up time is on September 1, 2013, the second phase is on September 1, 2014, the third stage is on September 1, 2016.
The eu is the highest in demand for LED products. LED products into the eu market, must meet the safety requirements in the low voltage directive and electromagnetic compatibility directive electromagnetic compatibility of the requirements of the restrictions on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) directive and scrapping instruction to electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) the requirements of environmental protection and energy product ecological design instruction (ErP) in the energy efficiency requirements. In addition, the LED products also must be in accordance with relevant laws and regulations stipulated by the conformity assessment procedure, only in this way, can they be CE mark, smoothly into the eu market.
Challenges facing new rules, inspection and quarantine departments to remind enterprises: first, should actively change ideas, improve the energy efficiency indexes and ecological design for products require attention; Second, to establish active consciousness on quality management, the good raw materials, production safety, and factory gate; In product development, focus on energy efficiency design requirements, ensure that the product conforms to the ERP directive requirements; Finally, to actively do a good job in product conformance test to adapt to the changing of the allowable value of energy efficiency and test program requirements, through the continuous improvement of product performance to win our country LED products in the international market of the initiative.
