Testing certification illuminates the future of LED industry

Core tip: insiders said, in the face of this hot market, the need for suppliers, buyers and testing certification bodies of the three party cooperation in order to bring a brighter future for the market.

The day before, the French LED product procurement company LOUPI and the world's third largest testing services company in Germany Dekeda (DEKRA) group, testing and certification services to specify its suppliers to use Dekeda, to ensure and improve the quality of LED products in the European market and security. It has also become a test certification authority LED industry, and seek common development of a typical case.

Global energy prices surged in early 2008. With the advantages of energy saving LED has become a promising star industry, one after another, new manufacturers across the LED industry. With the continuous expansion of the application domain of LED, and the luminescence characteristics of light emitting structure, LED light source principle and traditional light sources, LED standard is gradually valued by the market, governments, industry associations, testing and certification agency is also actively involved in this field to seek development. According to the latest market forecasts show that with high brightness LED lighting and display applications backlight and automotive lighting and so on, in the next 3~5 years, the overall size of the LED market will further rapid growth is expected in 2011 will reach $9 billion. Therefore, insiders said, in the face of this hot market, the need for suppliers, buyers and testing certification bodies of the three party cooperation in order to bring a brighter future for the market.

For the role of testing and certification in the development of the LED industry, the buyer's point of view should be the most convincing. LOUPI has been in the art and science of coexistence of ideas, research as early as 30 years ago, engaged in advertising lighting and photoelectric media, early application of LED technology to influence its suppliers for reform, many world brands have cooperation with Sony, Music is the originator of expert LOUPI to electronic display. In the face of the LED industry, LOUPI responsible person said that the day before, the European Commission passed a law in Brussels from 2009 to 2012, the provisions for phasing out incandescent lamps for household, industrial departments and public places from the market and other high energy consuming lighting equipment. Therefore, in the future, for LED products, the most fundamental test is the quality. As buyers, how to quickly purchase high-quality LED products, the need for third party testing and certification bodies to help.

For the detection of institutions can promote the development of an industry, and seize the opportunity to seek greater development has become an important issue in the next period of time. Huade de Kaida group and non government testing agencies Chinese largest Huace group co founded the independent third party testing and certification organization. The day before, for the LED industry status quo, Howard said general manager Nie Pengxiang, market and mature products cannot do without certification. Street lighting, for example, need to verify the effectiveness of light, life is to meet the requirements, if you can not meet the requirements, will cause great economic losses. Europe and the United States and other developed countries and regions in recent years frequently issued new standards for the quality of LED products continue to improve. On LED companies, it makes many Chinese LED products objectively be blocked in the international market. The maturity of any thing is not done overnight, LED market norms also need a process. In recent years, China's LED industry has grown rapidly, and a large number of enterprises with large scale of industrialization have emerged. However, the LED industry is still a concern, such as independent innovation can be weak design issues. From the internal environment analysis, it is necessary to improve the production technology to reduce the production cost. On the external environment analysis, LED need to narrow the price gap with the competitive light source, in order to expand the application market and market share.
