China's LED exports are facing a new round of impact

At present, China's LED export industry is facing a new round of foreign technical barriers, causing a greater impact on the LED export industry. Statistics show that since 2012, the United States, the European Union, Japan and other countries and regions have successively implemented relevant standards for the LED industry. On February 1, this year, the European Union stipulated that all luminaires entering the European Union must be reinforced in EMF (electromagnetic field) testing. Recently, the European Union has released the "Leading Energy Efficiency Regulations for LED Lighting Products", requiring that all LED lighting products exported to Europe must comply with the new energy efficiency standards as of September 1 this year, and be distributed on September 1st, September 2014 this year. On the 1st and September 1st, 2016, the energy efficiency standards for LED lighting products were gradually increased in three phases.

The continuous introduction of technical barriers has a major impact on China's LED export industry: First, the risk of export companies has increased. The gradual increase in technical standards has led to a constant increase in the rate of notification of my export products and a significant increase in export risks. Taking the export of EU products as an example, from January to June 2013, the EU RAPEX notification involved 54 lighting products in China, of which 19 were LED lamps, accounting for 35.18% of the total number of notified lamps, which was a year-on-year increase of 23.61%; rise. Taking the EU's "Leading Regulations on Latest Energy Efficiency of LED Lighting Products" as an example, in the second phase of the implementation of the new regulations, that is, after September 1, 2014, LED lights with an energy efficiency index above 0.2 can enter the EU market, equivalent to the current national standards of China. 2.2 times of the requirement, the certification and sampling cost of each specification product are more than 10,000 yuan, which directly leads to the increase of the production cost of LED luminaires by more than 20%. The United States LED lamps rated life test takes about 9 to 12 months, extending the LED product access time.

To this end, the inspection and quarantine department recommends that: First, companies should strengthen the construction of core technologies, earnestly study relevant laws, regulations and standards in foreign markets, and do a good job of responding to technical trade measures; second, establish testing laboratories that are approved by foreign countries and reduce inspections. Costs and production costs; Third, actively explore emerging markets in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia to reduce dependence on the European and American markets.
