LED export demand to improve the industry will face a new test

In recent years, due to the homogenization of intense competition, LED products in the rising cost of materials at the same time, it is facing the pressure of declining prices.

The day before, the EU introduced the "Regulations" of the new energy-efficient LED lighting products, LED lamp and the function of the equipment for safety and energy efficiency are put forward higher requirements, which means that the export to Europe LED enterprises will accept the new test.

Technical requirements and cost increases, LED SMEs will be a blow, but for large companies is a good news. This is facing the survival of the fittest LED industry, after the introduction of new regulations in the EU, will accelerate the shuffle.

LED export demand to improve the industry will face a new test

New regulations require 2.2 times the national standard of energy efficiency, export production costs increased by two or three

The reporter learned that, according to the European Union recently released "LED lighting products, the latest energy efficiency regulations", the new energy efficiency provisions for LED lighting and directional light source, specifically divided into 3 stages: September 1, 2013, September 1, 2014 and September 1, 2016 implementation. Among them, in September 1, 2014, the energy efficiency index above 0.2 LED light can enter the EU market. And this standard is 2.2 times the implementation of China's current standards.

In addition, the official website of the State Administration of quality supervision, after the implementation of the new regulations, if you want to achieve a single product certification and spot checks on the cost of an increase of about 10 thousand yuan. "In accordance with the previous requirements, most of the export enterprises can reach the standard. After the new regulations come into effect, you need to invest more in order to improve the energy efficiency of products. "Luo Xuecheng said.

Indeed, the implementation of the new regulations brought about by technical barriers, is undoubtedly the appreciation of the RMB, the export tax rebate, raw material prices, anti-dumping and many other export pressure after another heavy hammer. "The increase of LED" s export cost is mainly reflected in the cost of materials. Prior to the use of ordinary drivers, and now we must use more energy-efficient components, to a certain extent, improve the cost. Before some of the weaker companies, in order to reduce the cost, and not strictly in accordance with international standards for product design and certification, now the implementation of the new regulations will certainly lead to these enterprises need to make corresponding adjustments in design, material selection, packaging style, can meet the requirements of the market in europe. "Analysis pointed out that the EU energy efficiency to meet the new standards, the relevant export business enterprise needs to improve the production cost of 20%~30%.
