In recent years, developed economies such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union have formulated relevant standards to standardize the requirements for safety, performance, and energy efficiency of LED products. On September 1st, the latest energy efficiency requirements for LED lighting products will be officially implemented in Europe. At that time, the export of LED lighting products to Europe needs to meet the new energy efficiency standards.
It is understood that the new regulations will be implemented in three phases: the first phase will start on September 1, 2013, the second phase will be September 1, 2014, and the third phase will be September 1, 2016.
The EU is the region with the highest import requirements for LED products. LED products entering the EU market must comply with the safety requirements of the Low Voltage Directive, the electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the EMC Directive, and the environmental protection requirements for the use of certain hazardous substances in the electrical and electronic equipment, RoHS and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive WEEE. And the energy efficiency requirements in the energy-consuming product eco-design directive ErP. In addition, LED products must also comply with the conformity assessment procedures stipulated by the corresponding regulations. Only in this way can the CE mark be affixed and the EU market can be smoothly entered.
Faced with the challenges of the new regulations, the inspection and quarantine department reminds enterprises: First, we must actively change the concept and raise the attention to the product energy efficiency indicators and ecological design requirements. Secondly, we must establish an initiative awareness, in the quality management, good raw materials, production Safety and factory inspection; in product development, pay attention to energy efficiency design requirements, ensure that products meet the requirements of the ERP directive; Finally, actively do product compliance testing, adapt to changing energy efficiency limits and test procedures It is required to win the initiative of China's LED products in the international market through continuous improvement of product performance.
