Europe and the United States plan to raise LED lighting standards again

"Since the end of June, when Shenzhen Vision Optoelectronics collapsed, there has been too much negative information about the LED industry recently, and everyone is very sensitive. I don't know how many companies will fall." An industry source said. While China's LED industry is facing various difficulties, news from major export destinations such as the European Union and the United States plans to raise the standards of imported products.

According to the Guangdong WTO / TBT Notification Consulting Research Center (hereinafter referred to as "TBT Research Center") calculations, LED export companies in Guangdong will therefore increase production costs by about 4 billion yuan.

It is reported that the European Union has put forward high energy efficiency requirements for directional lights and LED lights. Only directional LED lights and directional fluorescent lights with an energy efficiency index of more than 0.2 can enter the EU market, which is 2.5 times higher than the previous energy efficiency requirements. In this notification, the United States put forward higher requirements on the conformity assessment and market supervision and inspection procedures of imported directional lights and LED lighting products, and the test costs of enterprises will increase accordingly.

According to the TBT Research Center, there are more than 3,000 LED companies in Guangdong Province, and most products are exported to Europe and the United States. "We estimate that the improvement of the above standards will increase the cost of Guangdong's LED industry by 2 billion yuan, respectively," said the staff of the above-mentioned TBT research center.

It is understood that Guangdong Province has expressed its views to the European Union and the United States that it hopes to further delay the implementation of the standard, but no response has yet been obtained. Some analysts pointed out that the high-required technology and safety standards in Europe and America are actually hidden technical barriers to trade.

An executive of a listed company disclosed, "The company often suffers from trade protection when it is sold overseas. The same product is often not passed by the company for inspection, but it is completely different if there are local intermediaries involved. This situation is not rare. . "

Although there are many doubts about the new overseas standards in the industry, in the opinion of some industry insiders, the sooner the new overseas standards are implemented, the better the industry will develop.

A senior executive of an LED lighting company said bluntly, "Some companies without technology and resources may be hit, and for some high-quality companies, (the implementation of the new standard) can (let them) catch more high-quality customers. It is good for the development of enterprises and industries. "

"This is a comprehensive improvement for the industry, but also a monitoring of quality." Quan Jian said.

The staff of the TBT Research Center also said that this is a forceful mechanism that prompts our companies to consider issues such as technology updates and quality improvement in advance, which is a boost to the development of the domestic industry.
