Perhaps the happiness of the strong is based on the tears of the weak, but the weak can also become powerful through transformation and upgrading. The export of LED lighting products to Europe is facing a new situation. Recently, the European Union issued the "Latest Energy Efficiency Regulations for LED Lighting Products". From September 1st, CEMark (European Common Market Safety Mark) for lamps and lamps requires the addition of ErP(EU)No1194/ based on the LVD Directive and the EMC Directive. The 2012 Directive and Energy Efficiency Label (EU) No. 874/2012 directives place higher demands on the functionality, safety and energy efficiency of LED lamps and their equipment.
Zeng Ping, senior technical manager of home and lighting appliances, TUV Rheinland Greater China Electronic and Electrical Products Service Department, told reporters that the new energy efficiency labeling directive (EU) No874/2012 is wider than the previous energy efficiency labeling directive 98/11/EC. The energy efficiency requirements of directional light sources and luminaires, the energy efficiency and functionality requirements of luminaires and luminaire accessories, and the functional requirements of non-directional LED lamps. The classification of equivalent grades changed from A to G to A to E, indicating that the energy efficiency of the products is getting higher and higher, and the products with low energy efficiency levels are gradually eliminated.
It is understood that the new directive will be implemented in three phases. The starting points for implementation are September 1, 2013, September 1, 2014, and September 1, 2016. At different stages, there are also phased requirements for energy efficiency for different products. The most important is the increased compatibility requirements for the luminaires in the second phase, as well as the added functionality and information requirements for the equipment installed between the lamp and the mains.
After the implementation of the new energy efficiency standards, what impact will it have on the LED industry? The cost of LED lighting companies will really increase a lot, thus affecting their competitiveness overseas? Is this really the EU anti-dumping conspiracy against LEDs?
High expectations?
According to the new energy efficiency standards, by the second phase of 2014, the energy efficiency index must reach 0.2, which is 2.2 times the current implementation standard in China. Such a standard gap has naturally caused concern in the industry. A few days ago, some media reported that most LED companies in Zhongshan could not meet the new energy efficiency requirements of the EU. Is this EU standard high?
In fact, the requirements of the European Union's ErP(EU) No1194/2012 directive and the Energy Efficiency Label (EU) No874/2012 directive are far from the standards of the US Energy Star. The certification can't be said to be the legendary rotten. goods.
Lamps made according to these standards can only be counted as 60 points. Tao Yuxiang, Technical Director of Shenzhen Bell Southern Testing Technology Co., Ltd. said. From the overall standard point of view, only the color consistency requirement of the 6th order is a little higher than the 7th order of other organizations, such as ENERGY STAR, and the rest is not high.
In fact, after the two standards of the EU come out, it is beneficial to Chinese LED companies. There is a lack of LED industry standards in mainland China, and the quality of products is uneven. Many companies have experienced the embarrassing situation of export returns. This time, the EU introduced new standards, which are not only highly demanding, but also fit the actual level of Chinese manufacturers and better guide Chinese companies to export to Europe.
Zhou Gang, director of the Testing Center of the Guangzhou Optoelectronics Standard Testing Institute of China Saixi Laboratory, believes that because many domestic enterprises produce lamps that do not follow the normal procedures, they will feel a little difficult. In fact, the original intention of the EU to develop this new energy efficiency standard is not to crack down on domestic enterprises. They are also standards set by universal data obtained from terminal research, but they are not too high. However, according to the current customer testing situation of the Sai Sai Lab, domestic lamps still have certain problems in terms of power, light efficiency and light color.
Zeng Ping said that the new directive involves a lot of products. To meet these requirements, it is necessary to improve the performance of the products. It is inevitable that enterprises feel pressure. But we feel that companies still have the ability to improve the performance of their products. In addition, the improvement of product performance helps to enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises.
increase cost?
So for the enterprise, is it necessary to increase the cost of 20 by implementing the two standards of the European Union to produce lamps for export to Europe?
Tao Yuxiang pointed out that the European ERP regulations and EU1194-2012 are the first technical regulations for the performance of LED lighting in the EU CE system, so companies need to issue new certification reports.
According to the different types of certified lamps, there are more than 20 samples and more than 40 samples. With a full test of 6000 hours, at least 30,000 yuan of certification fee is required. For the label, you can choose the method of self-declaration, or you can provide the energy efficiency rating report through a third-party certification company. The cost is about 3,000-5,000 yuan. After the rating, the company can produce the label to the outside of the fixture according to the regulations of the energy-efficient label. On the packaging. Therefore, the certification fee will increase.
As for whether there is any improvement in production costs and in what areas, many people in the industry give their opinions.
Feng Xiaoxiang, chief executive officer of Shenzhen Zhongdian Lighting Co., Ltd. said that for enterprises, in addition to certification fees, products that want to meet the standards do need to make some improvements in performance. Liu Shiquan, general manager of Jinglade Lighting Co., Ltd. also believes that the cost is mainly in the power supply section. Because everyone did not pay much attention to the power factor before, and many of them are shipping, but now it will not work. According to the new requirements, the cost will definitely increase.
Zhao Kun, vice president of Sichuan Xinli Light Source, made a detailed analysis. He believes that the biggest requirement of the new energy efficiency regulations is the driving force. According to the previous standards, the safety and high-voltage parts may only need to purchase 5-6 yuan of power supply. Now it is necessary to purchase more than 10 yuan to meet energy efficiency requirements. In addition, in the non-driven part, it is also necessary to purchase components of better quality. For SMEs, the product may be far from the standard. To pass the certification, the cost must be increased. It may really need to increase the cost of 20-30. But for Xinli Light Source, you only need to increase it by about 10 or even 10 to achieve it.
At present, inferior lamps produced in many parts of China are as frugal as possible in the production of materials, but these lamps obviously cannot pass the new standards of the EU. However, for companies that have always adhered to a high-quality policy, there is not much impact on production costs.
Xia Zeqiang, Marketing Director of Fujian Wanbang Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. gave his opinion on the cost increase. He believes that the cost increase is not much, and a bulb will increase the cost of 2-3 yuan. 5 yuan, everyone is acceptable.
great influence?
In fact, although Europe can only rank sixth in the world by area, the population is the third continent. According to the truth, the demand for lamps should be large. At the same time, some countries in Europe have very high requirements for lamps. In addition to the exquisite design, perfect light distribution is also necessary, which makes domestic enterprises very difficult.
The shadow of the European debt crisis has not passed, and this year in the European market can guarantee that the enterprises of the same period last year are strong.
Zhang Xu, Philips Lighting Communications Manager, said that all Philips lamps are manufactured to the highest standards in the world. No matter where they are purchased, they are uniform standards, so the EU's new energy efficiency standards have no effect on Philips lighting.
Our internal control standards for lamps have always been above this. In fact, these two standards came out in 2012 and have been almost one year since. When we first came out, we did the certification, and now the implementation has not had much impact on us. A director of the corporate marketing department of Shenzhen, who is mainly engaged in the European market, told reporters that many companies are getting orders and re-certification. Of course, the 6,000-hour certification time can't wait for the company.
Xie Zhenhua, senior technical manager of SGS Consumer Electronics Division, said that the ErP directive was first implemented in 2005. At that time, the LED lighting industry was still in its infancy, and the range of products involved was not just lighting products. The execution instructions related to lighting products are not only for LED lighting products.
China has a world factory, and the number of consumer goods sold to the world is bound to be huge. Therefore, any new regulations and requirements are introduced in any region, and China is bound to have the greatest impact. The facts show that in the past few years, in the case of European lighting product recalls, Chinese manufacturing has indeed accounted for the vast majority.
In fact, the execution time of the new instructions is very reasonable and user-friendly. ErP(EU)No1194 was officially published in mid-December 2012. It came into effect in early January 2013 and was enforced on September 1, 2013. From the effective date of the instruction to the enforcement, the interval between the two is approximately 8 months. The test period involved in the mandatory requirements on September 1 is only about 100 days, so the company has enough time to complete the test.
The test project with a test period of up to 10 months was first mandatory from March 1, 2013, and some were only required from 2016. The time interval between the beginning of January 2013 and March 1, 2014 is 14 months. Compared with the test period of up to 10 months, the company still has enough time to arrange the test. If the company pays enough attention to the regulations, it does not affect the shipment.
The introduction of new EU standards will in fact be a big blow to rotten goods. If good goods and bad goods are on the same starting line in raw materials, then the cost advantage that rotten goods are proud of will disappear. Without brand added value, they are likely to face a new round of bankruptcy by relying on tax rebates to make a living.
These can sweep out products that are not in compliance and make them unexportable. Although the cost is to be increased, but based on the domestic complete package and human advantages, the competitiveness of domestic lamps exported to Europe is still very large. Song Jindi, director of the R&D center of Shenzhen Zhongdian Lighting Co., Ltd., said that the introduction of the new standard should be clap.
However, Xia Zeqiang told reporters that in fact, the EU's new energy efficiency standards have not been very strong. At present, major European customers do not have a clear request. If the European investigation is very strict, the other party will definitely send a notice, but has not received the notice. Zhou Gang also said that it may be the reason just announced, so it is not very strict.
Zeng Ping told reporters that the sampling inspection in the EU has been going on, and it is still in the first stage, and most of the products can still meet the requirements. As the second and third stages increase with the requirements, if the domestic manufacturers are still lucky, trying to get away with it, it is quite dangerous. Especially for LED products, as a large number of products enter the EU market, the spot check will only become wider and wider.
