On September 1, the latest energy efficiency requirements for LED lighting products will be formally implemented in Europe. By then, export of LED lighting products to Europe will need to meet new energy efficiency standards. In recent years, developed economies such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union have successively formulated relevant standards to regulate the requirements for the safety, performance and energy efficiency of LED products.

It is understood that the new regulations will be implemented in three phases: the first phase will start on September 1, 2013, the second phase will be September 1, 2014, and the third phase will be September 1, 2016.

The EU is the region with the highest import requirements for LED products. LED products entering the EU market must comply with the safety requirements of the Low Voltage Directive, electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the electromagnetic compatibility directives, restrictions on the use of certain hazardous substances directives (RoHS) and WEEE in electrical and electronic equipment. China's environmental protection requirements and energy efficiency requirements in the Energy Product Ecodesign Directive (ErP). In addition, LED products also need to comply with the conformity assessment procedures stipulated in the corresponding regulations. Only in this way can the CE mark be affixed to enter the EU market smoothly.

In the face of new regulations and challenges, the inspection and quarantine department reminds companies: First, they must actively change their concepts and raise awareness of product energy efficiency indicators and ecological design requirements. Second, they should establish awareness of initiative and put quality raw materials into production management. Safety clearance and factory inspection; In product development, pay attention to energy efficiency design requirements to ensure that the product meets the requirements of the ERP directive; Finally, we must actively carry out product compliance testing to adapt to changing energy efficiency limits and test procedures Requirements, through the continuous improvement of product performance to win China's LED products in the international market initiative.
