Difficult to "dilute" LED turbidity by local standards

[Source: "Engineering LED- lighting market," the November issue of reporter / Zhou Jianhua]

“Why is the number of LED companies exploding, because the threshold for entry is too low.” On November 9, at the “Guangdong Province LED Lighting Standard Technology Alliance Inaugural Meeting”, Dr. Xu Chen from the Guangdong Institute of Standardization on the “Lighting Market” "Reporter said. Although LED applications have experienced market penetration in China for several years, local standards have also been introduced, but as of now, there is still a lack of nationally recognized national standards.

Urgent to be regulated

In May of this year, Guangdong Province and local governments all introduced support for LED public lighting promotion projects. Many enterprises reported that “there is a prospect, but if there is no technical threshold, low-end products can still easily get projects through low prices. The currency drives out good money."

It is understood that a series of collisions between the new light source and the traditional lighting have led to many discussions on the original rules and new rules. It can be seen that the industry's demand for standards is becoming more and more urgent, and the preparation of many local standards, alliance standards, industry standards, and even national standards is on the horizon.

Therefore, the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Standardization, with the strong support of the Provincial Supervision Bureau and the Science and Technology Department, took the lead in organizing a standard technology alliance to integrate the pre-research, revision, implementation and improvement of the province's LED lighting technology standards. The right to speak in relevant industry standards, national standards and international standards.

"There is no standard that will inevitably lead to the identification of LED products on the market. The quality of corporate brands is difficult to distinguish. But only local standards are still not enough." Yu Bin, vice chairman of Guoxing Optoelectronics, one of the 12 experts of the standard alliance The sea introduced.

It is understood that in the absence of national standards, local governments have successively launched a series of local standards. However, many companies involved in competition and transactions involve different fields and different industries. Different scales of enterprises, different technical backgrounds, and different market demands have increased the difficulty of equal trading and fair competition. At the same time, even the same technical indicators may mean different meanings due to the inconsistency of terminology. Therefore, product specifications and standards have become more prominent.

Therefore, it is of vital importance to establish industrial rules, regulate market order, and guide fair competition and orderly and healthy development of products and markets. After all, the uneven standard will lead to obstacles in the application of LED products in different regions. A representative of the LED company attending the conference revealed to reporters that the street lamp company he was in had encountered a situation where the product could not be used in some areas outside the province.

Standard without "quasi"

At present, there is no uniform standard for China's LED industry. There are many kinds of LED lighting application products on the market, different performances, poor interchangeability, and frequent inferior products, which brings severe challenges to the reputation of the entire industry.

According to industry insiders, inferior LED products have disrupted market prices and have greatly reduced consumer trust in LED products, leading to a vicious circle.

On the other hand, enterprises spend a lot of time and manpower to study various policies and standards, and they are interspersed among various departments. Invisible not only reduces efficiency, but also greatly increases the operating costs of enterprises, thereby indirectly weakening R&D and branding. Investment in other links.

"We are all doing business in the country, but every time we have to develop products for different local standards, it is also a lot of cost. However, there are local standards that are better than nothing." A company official who participated in the standard alliance said "To join the standards set up by the relevant authorities of the province, and to buy an 'insurance' for getting local engineering orders. But the implementation and supervision of standards is also our most concerned."

It is understood that this meeting not only marks the establishment of the Guangdong LED Lighting Standard Technology Alliance, but also the launching ceremony of the "Guangdong Province LED Lighting Industry Standardization Public Platform Construction" project. Relevant persons in charge of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology and the Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau also attended the statement. Only the non-governmental organizations to organize and implement standards are limited. The government departments will coordinate and guide and guide the implementation of standards.

According to the data, at present, there are 146 standards for LED products in China. So why do you still feel the lack of standards in the market?

In this regard, industry insiders pointed out that the biggest problem with current national or local standards is that the “standards” are based on the comprehensive results of science, technology and experience. However, the LED lighting industry is in the early stage of development, the technology route changes rapidly, and the product performance improves rapidly, which makes the pace of some product standards unable to keep up with the development of product performance and market demand, and the formulation of basic standards such as reliability test methods needs to be deepened. Research.

Luo Wei, a researcher at Guangdong Semiconductor Lighting Benchmarking System Research Center, pointed out that the current LED lighting industry is in a stage of rapid technological development and investment has increased, but the market has not yet opened, and the industry standard and product technology level evaluation and certification methods have lagged behind industrial development. . He believes that the three problems in product evaluation need to be resolved: 1. Determination of market entry threshold; 2. Selection, evaluation and optimization of product technology routes; 3. Conformity assessment and process monitoring.

expert's point

Standards should be built on mature technology


Dr. Yu Binhai, Vice Chairman of Foshan Guoxing Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.

I believe that both national and local standards must be based on relatively mature products or technologies, otherwise it will limit the development of technology. For example, the form of high-power structure has not been fully determined, and if given standards limit development and development in the future.

Standards, on the one hand, can give you a clear, unified method and terminology, such as what standards or equipment to test a certain performance of LED, everyone will have a unified standard will not cause confusion. On the other hand, it can set a threshold for the market and regulate market behavior. It will not drive some inferior products to the market because of disorderly competition and pure interests. After the introduction of standards, especially after the introduction of mandatory standards, the market supervision department should quickly establish a system of supervision, access, certification, testing and other systems.

The initial standard system needs to include national standards, local standards, and corporate standards, and the three complement each other. Enterprise standards and local standards are important components of the national standards system. Enterprise standards are specific refinements and manifestations of national and local standards, and there are no conflicts or contradictions between them.

Standards should be based on application

Dr. Xu Chen, Guangdong Institute of Standardization

Local standards, which meet the needs of the application and pass verification, can become a set of effective rules.

In general, the higher the average system efficacy of a lighting product, the higher the energy efficiency. Taking indoor lighting as an example, the most concerned is the color tolerance and color rendering index, but the color rendering index is the shortcoming of current LED lighting. If the color rendering index of LED lighting reaches 90 or more, the average system light effect will be pulled down. Therefore, when evaluating products, light comfort and blue light hazard are a criterion for the influence of lighting effects on people. The blue light hazard is to assess the service life of lighting products, and it is a newly proposed innovative indicator. This is an important contribution of Guangdong local standards.

The LED indoor lighting product scoring method is the result of multi-party consultation and demonstration. The lowest value of all selected intervals is higher than the national standards or local standards that have been published and implemented. The selection of the highest value of the interval is to fully study the internationally highest level and future product development trends of key technologies in the LED industry, and to determine the latest technical planning report of the US SSL plan and some preliminary measured data.

At present, the light efficiency of LED products is progressing with the development of upstream technology. The purpose of the standard system research is not simply to evaluate or rank products, but to guide products to develop in multiple directions through fair evaluation methods. On the basis of reliability, the best balance between light efficiency and color development is achieved.
