National wrestling LED lighting standards internationalization

2010 was a lot of experts in the industry believe that the global LED lighting market blowout year, such a big market to attract countries to develop standards on the wrestling". Anchaoxiongyong LED standards battle now become snatch LED lighting market weight, eager to through the LED lighting standard for early release through their own LED industry in the global development of the right to speak, the initiative to obtain the LED industry's global competitiveness in overseas markets.

South Korea from March 2009 to develop and implement standardized steps. In April 20th 09 in Seoul Korea Songpa Gu a hotel held the International Electrical Standard Conference (IEC) "lighting field (IEC TC 34) International Conference on standardization". The main contents of the proposal is to replace the incandescent lamp and halogen lamps and LED lamps developed by the KS national standards for LED to promote international standards for IEC. In November 3rd of the same year, the Ministry of knowledge economy technical standards institute said, led the country to submit the lighting standard (LED) was adopted as the International Electrotechnical Commission draft international standard, is expected to be the first international standard LED lighting.

In addition, in October 09 international conference held in Hungary on South Korea proposed to promote the plan, and in April 2010 at the international conference held in Finland on the more in-depth content, in an attempt to dominance grabbed LED lighting standards, and actively promote LED lighting products and the amount of South Korea's standard as an international standard.

After seeing the South Korean LED lighting standards thrown out, the U.S. Department of energy (DOE) after 3 drafts, and finally to the LED light source lamps energy star standard released the final confirmation version, and requires effective in August 31, 2010. The energy star standard published nearly a month earlier than originally planned by the end of December 2009. This can clearly see the U.S. Department of energy also eager to early release by LED lighting standard, let the industry specifications of LED lighting products to follow, and let the LED lighting order and obtain appropriate maintenance, through the research on the formulation of international standards and advanced testing methods, affecting other countries or regions of the standard, in order to win more benefits for the United states.

Lighting with white LED standard push, the fastest progress the country is Japan, Japan in 2004 four organizations jointly formulated the "white LED photometric method for lighting general", as the only standard for measuring current for lighting with white LED, March 2006 four group also announced a revised version of this standard, increase and amendment the original standard. Currently in Japan, although the government and industry associations are also widely discussed the development of standardization, but has not yet entered the development stage, is still under consideration. Japan, as an advanced country LED has been actively committed to the development of LED lighting standards, but eventually than South Korea late step.

Following South Korea, mainland China and Taiwan have also launched a standardized work, it is estimated that the first will be implemented in 2010. Currently, Taiwan's Ministry of economic affairs, said the standard Inspection Bureau, will be in CNS (China National Standars) in the 35 LED related standardization, has completed 12 of the relevant LED lighting standardization consideration. The station is also working with foreign ITRI certification company UL, the National Institute of standards and Technology (NIST), AC LED hope to lead the international standards, led the Taiwan industry to seize the lead in the global lighting market.

Mainland China in December 15, 2009, by the National Standardization Management Committee issued 8 National standards. In January 2010 the Ministry of industry and information technology, semiconductor lighting technical standards working group issued a "semiconductor optoelectronic devices power light-emitting diode Blank detail specification" and other 9 semiconductor lighting industry standards. At the same time, Guangdong, Shenzhen, Shanxi and other local governments launched a series of local standards.

In addition, before the formal introduction of relevant national standard rules, to guide China's semiconductor lighting applications to ensure the healthy and rapid development of the semiconductor lighting demonstration project carried out smoothly, a series of technical specification of national semiconductor lighting engineering research and industry alliance to develop semiconductor lighting products, to guide the technological innovation, the basic control performance of semiconductor lighting application demonstration project bidding products, truly reflects the effect of energy saving and emission reduction of semiconductor lighting products.

For example, the alliance released in 2009 "semiconductor lighting demonstration project LED road lighting products" technical specifications "LED tunnel lamp recommended technical specifications" and "integral LED measurement methods (Second Edition)" has become one of the semiconductor lighting demonstration project of semiconductor lighting products series of technical specifications, follow-up will also introduce a series of technology specification for semiconductor lighting demonstration application. Although the interim draft, but involves evaluation of the project and technical indicators are the most basic and good appraisal maneuverability, temporarily not the pursuit of comprehensiveness and integrity, and with the technical level of LED road lighting products has been improved and the corresponding technical standards level rising, to make further amendments.

Deputy Secretary General of alliance national semiconductor lighting project, Ruan Jun said: "at this stage, China's semiconductor lighting standard basic reference to international standards, in the future development, the need to explore with the international standard of effective convergence model, and think about how to seize the opportunities for international standard."

The establishment of national standards and the formulation of international standards is the key to whether a country can win international competition. Experts called on China to take the initiative to participate in the formulation of international standards for LED lighting, although this requires a lot of investment, but can strive for the adoption of international standards
