Mandatory implementation of the Mexico outdoor standard issued LED lamps

Light emitting diode lamp, also known as the LED lamp, with its high efficiency, energy saving, long life, small technical characteristics, is becoming a new generation of lighting market of main products, and effectively stimulating the rapid development of energy-saving environmental protection industry. LED lamps in the development of various countries is very popular, industry standards to become an inevitable trend. Recently, the Mexico Department of energy issued a mandatory standard NOM-031-ENER-2012 "road, highway and LED lighting energy efficiency standard of outdoor public areas of use and test method" in the official gazette, and came into effect on May 5, 2013, all covered in the standard category in LED lighting products shall be tested in accordance with this standard in the Mexico market on. The standard for outdoor use of LED lamps minimum energy efficiency requirements, classification, testing procedures, labels and market regulation and other content made detailed requirements. The minimum requirements for light, LED lamps light efficiency minimum requirements for 70lm/W road lighting, outdoor use LED lamp light effect the minimum requirements for 52lm/W, outdoor use LED lamp light effect minimum requirements for 70lm/W. The total luminous flux of all outdoor lamps shall not be less than 90% of the standard value on the product label. The standard also makes the power factor and harmonic distortion requirements, requiring all outdoor LED lamp power factor is not less than 0.9, the total harmonic distortion is not more than 20%. Mexico is divided into NOM and NMX standard two, NOM standards are mandatory standards issued by the Mexico government, Mexico by the standardization committee responsible for the draft, and the official text shall be published in the official gazette of Mexico. The NMX standard is a non mandatory standard issued by Mexico's officially recognized standards body, only when the NMX standard becomes a reference to the NOM standard, or when it is referenced by the relevant regulations. The Department of energy through the National Energy Commission issued the Mexico national standards for energy efficiency, the implementation of the Mexico National Advisory Committee on energy saving standards for national standards for energy efficiency in Mexico to develop, implement and monitor standard. Ningbo is the country's largest production base of outdoor lighting, known as the "hometown of Chinese lamps" and "China's lighting manufacturing base," said Ningbo lighting products are exported overseas. At present, Ningbo's exports of outdoor lighting has accounted for the proportion of exports of 70%, of which LED enterprises reached more than 1500, LED lighting product sales accounted for 47% of total sales, while LED products exports account for 52% of sales, which LED commercial lighting accounted for LED of total exports of about 60%. According to statistics, from 2012 to 1, Ningbo exported 456 batches of Mexico lamps, the amount of $12 million 820 thousand $. To this end, the inspection and quarantine departments to remind the outdoor LED lighting manufacturers: first, familiar with mandatory standards. The requirements of the standard LED product range is very wide, it is necessary to ensure that products meet all the requirements of the index. Two is strictly control product quality. As the standard of the technical indicators are higher, so it is necessary to work hard in all aspects, especially for the minimum luminous efficiency indicators, be sure to meet its energy efficiency requirements. Three is the appropriate marking product mark. In the light flux and life, according to the actual needs of the product, must not blind identification, be sure to prevent too high marks and can not meet the requirements lead to return. Four is to pay close attention to the dynamics of other countries, establish access to foreign standards and technical trade channels and mechanisms. Lighting energy efficiency will be a more and more serious, the long topic.
