LED bulb performance requirements will be revised

Recently, the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released an announcement publicly soliciting amendments to the “Performance Requirements for LED Bulbs”, and the closing time is 15 days after the publication date.

According to relevant persons from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the revised performance indicators include QBCPZT1157-2013 "LED bulb performance requirements", QBJCZT1158-2013 "white LED light source color rendering," QBCPZT1159-2013 "surface emitting LED lighting technical requirements" , QBFFZT1160-2013 "Measurement methods for LED lamps", QBFFZT1161-2013 "LED lamps - accelerated life evaluation method", all CQC non-mandatory standards.

According to the above-mentioned sources, the department in charge of the “Performance Requirements for LED Bulbs” is the Consumer Products Industry Division and is led by the National Lighting Standardization Technical Committee; content is provided by Beijing Institute of Optical Power, Shanghai Shizhiguang Lighting Electronic Inspection Co., Ltd. Electric Light Source Quality Supervision Center (Beijing) and other units are responsible for drafting. After the collection time, the national lighting standardization technical committee of the lead department collects and collects the opinions. After coordinating and discussing with the drafting unit, the revised standard clauses will be submitted to the National Standards Committee, and the specific announcement time will be announced separately.

A few days ago, the reporter called the CTO of the relevant manufacturers who produced LED bulbs in the industry because they were almost unaware of the solicitation during the holiday period. The content of the call for the CQC non-compulsory standards, many manufacturers are not allowed, especially the main export manufacturers.

“The performance requirements of previous LED bulbs were too high for our manufacturers. Now LEDs are difficult to enter into households because of their high prices. If they still use the previous standard, the prices will be higher.” said the chief technical officer of a LED lamp factory. .

“Usually, we do not produce products that meet the national standard, but if the customer is bidding, we can do it, but the price will be higher.” And another LED lamp factory owner said that this standard is used in addition to the government tender In addition, it is rarely involved in peacetime.

When the reporter visited a group of enterprises in Guangzhou, he learned that for the national standard and landmarks, the technical director of LED lighting companies in Guangzhou has paid more attention to the landmarks. They believe that the landmarks are more “landed” and more in line with the actual situation of local LED development in Guangzhou. However, the opinions of the relevant formulation departments of the national standard are just the opposite. They believe that the national standard is the minimum standard of the industry, but the Guangzhou landmark is still lower than the national standard. This is unreasonable.

However, in the survey, companies have shown considerable enthusiasm for the collection activities of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In particular, a group of technical personnel of the above-scale enterprises have expressed their willingness to participate in this activity and publish their own standards for LED lamps. Formulated views. They believe that the revision of the luminaire standards is at least an important signal that the country has begun to attach importance to the standardization of the LED industry and the market, and that the market for LED bulbs, which have a lot of differences, has national standards that can be referenced, but the influence of the standards has yet to be improved.

There are also industry insiders who say that there are different standard usage habits in each place, which is also the main reason leading to the emergence of many different industry standards across the country. There is also a strong sense of local protectionism. However, national industry standards must be required, and some regulations must be mandatory. This will not only help optimize the reasonable competition of enterprises, but also benefit the optimization of the entire industry and the scale of the industry, and play a catalytic role in cost control.
