After years of rapid growth, the export of LED industry in China has been slowing down since 2015.In 2016, it exported $10.6 billion, down 0.77 percent year on year, and the first negative growth.Exports of $12.2 billion in 2017 were up by more than 10% from a year earlier.In 2017, there are 17,801 export products enterprises, an increase of 1198 enterprises compared with 2016, while the top 30 exports only accounted for 24.21% of the total value of exports, a slight decrease from 2016.

        With energy conservation and environmental protection, LED lamps with longer service life gradually replaced traditional lamps, the market share keeps rising, and China has become the largest producer of lighting products in the world.However, the development of LED lighting industry in China has also brought forward the requirements for the quality of enterprise products.

        Substandard lamps were recalled by the European Union.

        A report from the jiangsu inspection and quarantine bureau said three Chinese LED lamps were recalled from the European commission's non-food rapid warning system.

        Among them, the electrical insulation between the "ATOPSUN" and "GT Industrial" lights is not enough for the electrical insulation, and the user is in danger of being shocked.The two products do not meet the requirements of the eu low voltage directive and the European standard EN 60598.

        The other "Party Lighting" lamp contains short chain chlorinated paraffin, which has teratogenic, pathogenic and mutagenic toxicity, and the detection value is up to 1.1%, which does not meet the requirements of the eu pops code.

        Inspection and quarantine bureau, jiangsu province, experts say, LED lamps and lanterns while developing rapidly in our country, form a larger industry scale, has a huge market potential, but the core and key technology of short board and scattered, small, industrial organization pattern still restricts the international competitiveness of ascension.

        Experts pointed out that in recent years, there have been dozens of recalls of LED lamps in developed countries in Europe and America, and there are four major problems in the analysis.

        One is that the product's waterproof performance is not up to standard, and it is easy to be affected by moisture, resulting in damage to the interior of the lamp. Such products are mainly found in outdoor LED lamps.

        Two products do not conform to the requirements of the standards, protection against electric shock is the main reason for part of the production enterprises design flaws, get an electric shock hazards exist in the structure, and the poor insulation of the cable can also cause fire;

        Third, there are quality risks in the internal wiring and external wiring of the product, which can easily trigger electric shock, fire, falling and hurt, etc., and endanger the safety of the personal property of consumers.

        The products contain toxic and harmful substances, which do not comply with foreign regulations.

        As is known to all, jiangsu is an important production base of LED industry in China, with an output value of 50 billion yuan, accounting for 12% of the country., the current foreign users are increasingly demanding on the quality of LED lamps and lanterns and function, the low-price, low-quality products is difficult to form unique to the customer, let alone get considerable profit continuously, the integration of the LED lamps and lanterns industry is accelerating.

        Export enterprises should know the standard of LED lamps and lanterns in developed countries in Europe and America in time, and improve product quality from product design, raw material purchase, assembly and production.

        At the same time to strengthen the contact with the inspection and quarantine departments, trade associations, carefully study the quality problem of the recalled products abroad, extrapolate, grasp the quality of key link, the blind pursuit of low prices to pay attention to the product itself, "made in China" in the international market competitiveness.

        Australian new LED light bulb compulsory certification.

        Recently, the Australian/New Zealand bureau of standards issued AS/NZS4417.2: the fourth revision standard of the compliance standard for electronic and electrical products in 2012:2017.The revision extends the control product list, reclassifies the security level of some products, and updates the definition of some products.

        It is worth noting that this revision has added six categories of products such as LED bulbs and small night lights to compulsory certification products.The standard stipulates that from June 1, 2018, LED light bulbs and night lamps entering the Australian market must first apply for mandatory safety certificates (i.e. SAA certification).

        The revision the concrete content includes: one is the new Australian Level 3 mandatory control products: in addition to the LED bulbs and small night light, electric heating water bag, dc isolator, the spray gun and flexible electric blanket (were) will be enforced on June 1, 2018.Secondly, the new Level 2 products: New Zealand balanced car, dc/ac electric vehicle (EV) charging pile, cable assembly, belt line control and protection devices, this a few products since June 30, 2017, if sold in New Zealand, at least should be provided to ensure they comply with relevant standards test report (also can apply for a security certificate).Three is the safety Level classification: since June 1, 2018, flexible heating pads, floor polishing machine/washer, TV receiver three kinds of products from Australia to Level 2 Level 3 products, cut out from the New Zealand Level 2 list at the same time.Fourth, product definition update: flexible heating pad, treatment lamp, wall switch and other product descriptions are also updated in this revision.

        The expansion of Australian security compulsory certification products will greatly increase the production and testing costs of enterprises.Once the product quality fails to meet the standard requirements, the Australian market spot check and report, will cause the enterprise to suffer the economic loss.To this end, excellent resistance to detect remind export to Australia relevant production enterprises of lamps and lanterns: to attach importance to the Australian electronic electrical products standard revision, to study the new standard, to do a good job of dealing with technical trade measures, accomplish know fairly well.We will strengthen the self-inspection and control capacity of product quality, and put good raw materials, production safety and export inspection customs in quality management, and adopt raw materials and parts that meet the standard requirements.The third-party institutions that can search for the detection and certification of the test will be tested and verified according to the standards of the importing country, and should be prepared before the end of the transition period.
