LED, which has a very high voice all the time, that’s the light-emitting diode standard setting, progress in leaps and bounds this year, have released the relevant national standards, some standards onwards into effect from April. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information issued nine industry standards; National Standardization Management Committee issued six LED relevant standards, plus the two mandatory national standards introduced a total of eight.
The introduction of a series of new standards will help promote the development of LED industry and technological innovation, while promoting the LED lighting industry, the healthy development of more standardized.
Standards are not "threshold"
Currently, in addition to "LED modules for general lighting safety requirements", Lamp control gear Part 14: LED module for dc or ac supplied electronic control gear for special requirements of the end of the two standards will be officially implemented this year; the other standards have been from the beginning into effect. Whether these standards can really play its role, the enterprise reporter makes some understanding.
"Standard will become the threshold of cottage enterprises", an LED manufacturer in Dongguan salesman told reporters.
A quarter of the country LED manufacturers in Guangdong, including many small family-owned manufacturers, by virtue of these small manufacturers is the price advantage, short production cycle or some of the low-end market customers. The products of these small businesses are difficult to meet the basic requirements; standards of these companies may be turned away.
Conversely, for large enterprises, the standards are not barriers, but to provide a more advanced technology benchmark. Osram (China) Lighting Co., Ltd., Guang Dong Bright Star Light & Co., Lehman Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. Shenzhen LED three business-related staff are well-known that the standard is not a problem.
Lehman Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. Shenzhen, Mr. Zhang told reporters that the series of standards on the production and testing provides an effective data. Guangdong Provincial Institute of Product Quality Supervision, Inspection and Senior Engineer Li Zili example was resolved. He said, "LED modules for general lighting safety requirements", the heat is qualified for detection products provide detailed data. Heat from the ball pressure test to test: test temperature ± 5 ℃, but a minimum of 75 ℃, indentation diameter shall not exceed 2mm. 650 ℃ fire by the glow-wire test to test: hot wire 650 ℃, the role of hot wire on the sample 30s.
Standards will advance with the times
After the introduction of the series of standards, there are some enterprises have the advanced nature of the standard into question. Lehman's Mr. Zhang said photoelectric current, LED application product performance requirements continue to change, improve product is not yet mature, it is difficult to develop an appropriate application of product standards. Maybe just the standard formulation, product technology has greatly exceeded the current standard.
He believes, LED's standards will be gradual. The establishment of standards requires a process, many products still not finalized, technology is developing rapidly, it can step by step in a planned way according to the progress of LED industry to develop standards.
Is based on the current status of development of the industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that the electronics industry standard 9 release only the standardization of lighting technology has taken a first step, improve and perfect the standard system while the road work is arduous tasks far. Standards working group has already started, is developing new standards for the electronics industry, including LED applications wafer testing methods and technical specifications, low-power LED chip technology specifications, LED device naming, LED component reliability test methods and the feasibility of solid-state lighting series of standards, which are to be completed this year.
In addition, the Standards Working Group will also develop LED module components on test methods, the development of the power IC, control IC series of standard LED devices for different applications, product specifications and other details.
LED market, companies need time to mature and can hold
LED Industry Alliance Vice Chairman of Guangdong Province, Dongguan, the semiconductor lattice century Goodwin, general manager of LED industry, recently received an internal data. "Industry to restructure, shuffle has already begun." Read the document, he said.
This was Goodwin refused to disclose the information within the industry strengthened his assessment of the situation, herd the LED industry is facing reshuffle pain. The one hand, many enterprises are facing losses of LED lights, on the other hand continue to expand production capacity, LED reached a crossroads.
"I do not have a specific research data, but as far as I know, LED lights phenomenon of loss of business does exist." Guangdong Province, the whole health Lighting Association said.
Goodwin said that based on his understanding of the information, there should be close to 90% of the LED lighting company is facing difficulties. In addition to leading the market of small business difficulties, immature technology is one of the reasons. In addition, the total amount of the national demonstration project of street only 40 billion Yuan, while the LED lights of the enterprises engaged in nearly a thousand(wholesale LED lights), in the commercial and residential market has not fully turned on, enough to go round the situation is getting worse.
Even if the losses, many companies chose the struggling. According to the industry claims, last year, LED lighting products, 25 dollars per thousand lumens, when per thousand lumen reduced to 2 dollars, the market will mature, and it takes about 5 years. In 5 years, how many companies can uphold? Industry experts believe that the industry has been brewing reshuffle since last year. The great majority of weak competitiveness enterprises will be eliminated in restructuring.
