Apart from these credentials, there are optional certifications from the China Quality Certification Center (CQC), Product Safety Certification of the China Solid State Lighting Alliance (CSA), the led high bay light Product Safety and Quality Certification of TÜV Rheinland, the US Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Electromagnetic Interference standard certification and a host of other accreditation standards.
With the gradual fall in the price of LED lighting products, they’ve become a firm part of indoor and outdoor lighting markets. However, the inconsistent quality of lighting remains problematic,” said the head of the Green Lighting Shanghai Project Team. “LED lights are more popular in Europe and North America than in Asia. These Western markets have high barriers to entry, due to their strict technological and safety standards. Several new compulsory lighting standards will take effect in 2012, which we expect to isolate the inferior products and badly run companies.
From 2013, the EU will enforce the standards of the human body electromagnetic radiation safety norms. The Union has set multiple compulsory requirements for LED lamps. These include CE-LVD (Conformité Européenne - Low Voltage Directive), which detects LVD in LED products. Also among new requirements is the CE-EMC (Conformité Européenne - Electromagnetic Compatibility) which tests ElectroMagnetic Compatibility Directives (EMCD). Furthermore, if the products receive the GS (Geprüfte Sicherheit – Tested Safety) and PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon) certification, as well as other quality accreditations, they can then be sold at higher prices, due to being more attractive to, and trusted by, consumers.
North American market should also meet the requirements of electric safety, electromagnetic compatibility and power consumption. The new listing standards for solid-state lighting lamps and light source products issued by the US Environmental Protection Agency (How to buy led high bay light) in October 2011 will come into compulsory effect this April. LM-80, a method of measuring Lumen depreciation of LED Light sources, is seen as the passport into the American market. In the future, unverified LED packaging and crystal grain plants will struggle to penetrate the US market.
