Perhaps the happiness of the strong is based on the tears of the weak, but the weak can also become powerful through transformation and upgrading. The export of LED lighting products to Europe is facing a new situation. Recently, the European Union issued the "Latest Energy Efficiency Regulations for LED Lighting Products". From September 1st, CEMark (European Common Market Safety Mark) for lamps and lamps requires the addition of ErP(EU)No1194/ based on the LVD Directive and the EMC Directive. The 2012 Directive and Energy Efficiency Label (EU) No. 874/2012 directives place higher demands on the functionality, safety and energy efficiency of LED lamps and their equipment.
Zeng Ping, senior technical manager of home and lighting appliances, TUV Rheinland Greater China Electronic and Electrical Products Service Department, told reporters that the new energy efficiency labeling directive (EU) No874/2012 is wider than the previous energy efficiency labeling directive 98/11/EC. The energy efficiency requirements of directional light sources and luminaires, the energy efficiency and functionality requirements of luminaires and luminaire accessories, and the functional requirements of non-directional LED lamps. The classification of equivalent grades changed from A to G to A to E, indicating that the energy efficiency of the products is getting higher and higher, and the products with low energy efficiency levels are gradually eliminated.
It is understood that the new directive will be implemented in three phases. The starting points for implementation are September 1, 2013, September 1, 2014, and September 1, 2016. At different stages, there are also phased requirements for energy efficiency for different products. The most important is the increased compatibility requirements for the luminaires in the second phase, as well as the added functionality and information requirements for the equipment installed between the lamp and the mains.
After the implementation of the new energy efficiency standards, what impact will it have on the LED industry? The cost of LED lighting companies will really increase a lot, thus affecting their competitiveness overseas? Is this really the EU anti-dumping conspiracy against LEDs?
High expectations?
According to the new energy efficiency standards, by the second phase of 2014, the energy efficiency index must reach 0.2, which is 2.2 times the current implementation standard in China. Such a standard gap has naturally caused concern in the industry. A few days ago, some media reported that most LED companies in Zhongshan could not meet the new energy efficiency requirements of the EU. Is this EU standard high?
In fact, the requirements of the European Union's ErP(EU) No1194/2012 directive and the Energy Efficiency Label (EU) No874/2012 directive are far from the standards of the US Energy Star. The certification can't be said to be the legendary rotten. goods.
Lamps made according to these standards can only be counted as 60 points. Tao Yuxiang, Technical Director of Shenzhen Bell Southern Testing Technology Co., Ltd. said. From the overall standard point of view, only the color consistency requirement of the 6th order is a little higher than the 7th order of other organizations, such as ENERGY STAR, and the rest is not high.
