Domestic LED lamps are technical barriers to Guangdong enterprises face 4 billion losses

Gui Shirong, director of the joint innovation center of Guangdong semiconductor lighting industry, called for enterprises to improve the international quality of products at the same time, through the global certification standard system to build the first model to deal with global technical barriers to trade. The plight of the cost of LED companies in Europe or the United States as an important global LED application base, the use of high requirements of technical and safety standards as technical barriers, Guangdong LED export enterprises are facing. Guangdong province technical barriers to trade has become the biggest obstacle to China's exports of LED lighting products.

WTO/TBT center of Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau yesterday informed that the United States and the European Union proposed covering energy saving and environmental protection, ecological design, energy efficiency labeling, testing etc. the higher and stricter requirements to enter the country's directional lights and LED lighting products.

Gui Shirong, director of the joint innovation center of Guangdong semiconductor lighting industry, called for enterprises to improve the international quality of products at the same time, through the global certification standard system to build the first model to deal with global technical barriers to trade.

The plight of the cost of LED companies in Europe or the United States as an important global LED application base, the use of high requirements of technical and safety standards as technical barriers, Guangdong LED export enterprises are facing.

For the direction of the country to enter the lamp and LED lighting products cover energy saving environmental protection, ecological design, energy efficiency labeling, testing, performance, safety, size, weight, shape and other aspects of the higher and more stringent requirements.

For example, the European Union for directional lights and LED lights put forward the requirements of high efficiency. The notification regulations require only the efficiency index of more than 0.2 directional and directional LED lamp fluorescent lamp can enter the EU market, demand is 2.5 times higher than before the energy efficiency is 2.2 times the national standard requirements.

It is estimated that, in accordance with the above energy efficiency requirements, led directly to the production cost of LED lamps to improve more than 20%, about the total cost of a total of about 2000000000 yuan in Guangdong LED enterprises to bring.

In addition to the requirements in terms of energy efficiency, the direction of the country to enter the lamp and LED lamp products qualified assessment, market supervision and inspection procedures are more stringent requirements, the company will bring huge cost of test costs.

Again, the United States informed of the LED test program, according to preliminary estimates, if a company is equipped with the corresponding testing laboratory and testing equipment according to the requirements, it needs to spend about 350 thousand annually to pay about 100 thousand of the cost in the laboratory operation, equipment maintenance and laboratory personnel salary.

LED enterprises in our province more than 3000, and most of the enterprise products exported to the United states. The United States informed the LED test program is only the province's LED export enterprises to bring more than 2 billion yuan of additional costs. It is suggested that Guangdong province is a large province of LED lamps and lanterns, which is also a major export province through the global certification standard system.

In 2011, the output value of Guangdong's LED reached 150 billion yuan, accounting for about 70% of the whole country and the world's total of 50%.

The United States and the European Union is the main importer of LED products in our province. 2011 Guangdong LED lamps export sales of about 34000000000 yuan, an increase of more than 20% over last year, accounting for nearly 1/4 of the total output value of Guangdong LED lamps.

Among them, exports to the United States and the European Union is about 22 billion yuan, accounting for about 2/3 of Guangdong LED lighting exports, accounting for about LED of the total output value of Guangdong lamps.

How to break the technical barriers to trade union national quality inspection center lamps? (Guangdong) and Guangdong 15 LED lamps leading enterprise representatives and experts recently held in Zhongshan seminar, they think, first of all to use the coordination mechanism under the WTO/TBT agreement, the European and American countries adopt our province proposed comments.

To this end, they combined directly to Europe and the United States to reflect, asked the United States to refer to IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and the current practices of other WTO members, to simplify the test environment and test requirements, reduce the test sample number and the number of tests and shorten the test time length, to reduce product testing for LED lamp production enterprise brought the burden, to avoid unnecessary trade barriers to foreign LED lighting products to enter the U.S. market.

And the EU requirements appropriate to reduce the minimum efficiency of directional lights and LED lights, and the requirements of the implementation of time later postponed for more than 1 years, in order to better adapt to the enterprise regulations changes etc..

They also suggested that the development of foreign trade to deal with technical barriers to trade policy and financial support. In particular, to increase investment in research and development of LED core technology.

Gui Shirong called for the enterprises to improve product quality while international, through the global certification standard system to strengthen the product modeling, LED standardization work of international standards and foreign advanced standards into local standards in our province, and the construction of international LED products standard system, make LED products in our province in line with the international market, deal with the global technical barriers to trade.
