Black list! European Union in the first half of China's 23 kinds of substandard lights

According to the China quality news network reported that the first half of this year, the EU non food rapid alert system (RAPEX) were informed of the unqualified light from China series 23 onwards, the number of notifications is nearly 3 times over the same period last year, respectively, by the EU banned the sale, recall from consumers and market products, returns and other penalties for destruction. Notification from the EU 8 member states, the top three were Slovakia, Lithuania, Italy.

The specific characteristics of China's exports of LED lamp string was informed of the EU are: first, increase the number of informed countries. In the first two quarters of this year, the EU has a number of countries in the country of Slovakia, Lithuania, Italy, Britain, Slovenia, Spain, France, an increase of 3 over the same period last year. The two is informed of the state of Slovakia notification times. In the first half, Slovakia, a total of 12 lights in our country from the bulletin, accounting for a series of bulletin lights, no notification from the same period last year, Slovakia. Three is to be informed of the reasons for the risk of electric shock and fire. The first half of the EU on China's light string briefing, the vast majority of protection against electric shock and unqualified fire risk, including protection against electric shock unqualified 19, accounting for about 82.6% of the lamp string, relates to the fire risk of 1, both protection against electric shock and unqualified fire risk 3.

According to the analysis, the main reason of China's export lamp series: one is frequently reporting standards and regulations on some enterprises in the EU and its members to track the latest changes cause enough products to keep up with the relevant standards and regulations. Two is the lack of testing and management awareness of some enterprises, product production process control is lax, finished sampling into a mere formality, so that substandard products out of the country. In addition, the lamp string generally smaller scale enterprises, product upgrade lagging, low price competition phenomenon is obvious, in the export of light string out method inspection directory, individual enterprises lack self-control, even exist shoddy behavior. Because the lamp string is widely used in the European Union celebration activities, both for commercial activities celebration and widely used in the family, once caused by electric shock and fire accident, the loss will be immeasurable.

In view of this situation, the inspection and quarantine departments to remind the relevant export production enterprises: on the one hand, exports to the EU's lamp string should be strictly according to EN60598 standard requirements for testing, mass production can be achieved before the best safety certification of the third party, and in strict accordance with the requirements of certification and arrange production. At the same time to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of products, as soon as possible the use of low-voltage LED process production string. On the other hand, the production enterprises should establish the key components of a system of quality inspection, production process key control monitoring system, product sampling system and strict enforcement, to avoid the product because they do not meet the standard, and was informed of the return. The inspection and quarantine departments to remind the relevant export production enterprises to strengthen contract review, avoid the risk of trade, special technology and products in terms of final sales to indicate the product in the contract the importer's sales constraints without changing the behavior, try to avoid their own responsibility, the production of product quality and safety risk to a minimum.
