LED lighting energy-saving certification technology "threshold" upgrade financial subsidies into a powerful push

The new version of LED lighting products energy-saving certification "threshold" has been greatly improved, which is the result of the recent revision and upgrade of the LED lighting product energy-saving certification technical specifications led by the China Quality Certification Center. Behind this, financial subsidies have become a powerful pusher.

Energy-saving certification technical specifications have been greatly upgraded

Recently, the 2013 edition of the LED lighting product energy-saving certification technical specification was released. The China Quality Certification Center held a publicity conference in Fujian on the new version of the LED lighting product energy-saving certification technical specification. The upgraded version of the technical specification has become the focus of the LED lighting industry.

At present, LED lighting products mainly include LED downlights, reflective self-ballasted LED lights and LED road/tunnel lighting products. According to the reporter's understanding, after the revision of the LED lighting product energy-saving certification technical specifications, the newly released GB/T29294 "LED downlight performance requirements" and GB/T29296 "reflective self-ballasted LED lamp performance requirements" in the product are There are standardization requirements.

For reflective self-ballasted LED lamps, refer to GB/T29296 for the method of dividing the specifications according to the beam angle; for LED downlights, refer to GB/T29294 for the method of dividing the specifications according to the aperture size and rated luminous flux; for LED road/tunnel lighting products According to the opinions collected in the previous period, the color tone is divided more finely.

The relevant person in charge of the China Quality Certification Center told the reporter that in the revision of the technical specifications for energy-saving certification of LED lighting products, product standardization is a major content. Unlike other traditional light source products, as a new type of light source products, LED lighting products have no specific specifications and uniform standards before. Due to the complicated specifications, both designers and ordinary consumers have more choices but The lack of uniform standards and reference basis is very difficult. Through this revision, LED lighting products have clear specifications. According to reports, such as reflective self-ballasted LED lamps can be divided into six specifications according to the nominal angle of the beam angle: 10, 18, 24, 36, 45, 60, according to the size can be divided into PAR16, PAR20, PAR30, PAR38.

In addition to normalization, energy efficiency and performance requirements are also important elements of this technical specification revision. At present, LED lighting products still have no mandatory national standards for energy efficiency. It is also due to the lack of such key standards, LED lighting products have been missed with financial subsidies for several times. In this revision work, the energy efficiency and performance of LED lighting products have been greatly improved, making LED lighting a greener advantage.

"With the strict requirements of the new version of the technical specifications, only really good technology and products have the opportunity to pass the energy-saving certification." The relevant person in charge of the China Quality Certification Center said that through the revision of the energy-saving certification technical specifications, LED lighting products The threshold for energy efficiency certification has been greatly improved. From the current development of the industry and the market, it is estimated that about 10% of LED lighting companies can achieve this standard.

Financial subsidy release oriented positive energy

The upgrading of technical specifications in the industry is an inevitable trend and requirement for the development of the industry. External forces often have an important impact on this process. In fact, there is such a force in the revision of this technical specification. This power stems from the promotion of financial subsidies for LED lighting products since last year.

It is not difficult to see from the revision of this technical specification that the new version of the technical specification follows the method of dividing the product specifications by the national standard, and at the same time, some requirements are added with reference to the “Technical Requirements for Financial Subsidy Promotion of Semiconductor Lighting Products” (draft). In the reflective self-ballasted LED lamp energy-saving certification technical specification, an early failure is added according to the technical requirements of financial subsidies. The LED downlights have been increased by three according to the financial subsidy requirements: early failure, applicable working voltage, and applicable ambient temperature. These items are not required in GB/T29294. It is worth mentioning that the other seven items of the new technical specification LED road/tunnel lighting products except the Guangtong maintenance rate are the same as the financial subsidy technical requirements.

“Financial subsidies have played an important role in the standardization development of LED lighting industry and the improvement of product quality.” The relevant person in charge of China Quality Certification Center told reporters that on the one hand, this method is promoted through financial subsidies, so that it is trapped in high prices. LED lighting products can have the opportunity to be recognized and accepted by more people, driving market consumption, popularizing energy-saving awareness, leading the direction of industry standardization and market development; on the other hand, stimulated by financial subsidies, many LED lighting Enterprises have been rushing to innovate and upgrade products and technologies to promote the gradual improvement of the industry's technical level. At the same time, the market price of LED products has gradually decreased with the maturity of technology and market. Previously, LED bulbs with a price of more than 100 yuan are now less than 30 yuan.

The above-mentioned person in charge also said that both the promotion of financial subsidies and the certification of energy conservation are to lead the development of the industry and the market. At this point, the two goals are the same. Therefore, in the upgrade of the energy-saving certification technical specifications, the energy-saving certification and the promotion of financial subsidies have achieved a “seamless link”, which not only incorporates some of the technical requirements for financial subsidies into the new technical specifications, but also largely covers the fiscal Product specifications for subsidized promotion.

It is understood that the full integration of energy-saving certification technical specifications and financial subsidies technical requirements is also the voice of many LED lighting companies, they hope that through the energy-saving certification of LED lighting products can also meet the requirements of financial subsidies. A person in charge of a lighting company said that if energy-certified LED lighting products can have more opportunities to participate in the promotion of financial subsidies, it is a powerful impetus for the development of enterprises and technological innovation.
