Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: National LED industry standards will be announced during the year

Mr. Guan Baiyu, deputy inspector of the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, recently stated that L E D lighting is an emerging industry. This year there will be a number of national and industry standards to complete the approval process to be released, while there are a number of standards in the research and development process. She made the above statement at the "First LED General Lighting Product and Technology Symposium" organized by China Lighting Association on the 20th.

According to Guan Baiyu, the nine industry standards formulated by the Semiconductor Lighting Standards Working Group of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology were implemented on January 1 this year. Seven national standards and two industry standards for lighting fixtures have been issued and implemented on May 1. "This year, there will be a number of national and industry standards that will be completed and submitted for approval. At the same time, a number of standards are being studied and formulated."

According to Yu Anqi, deputy director of the National Electric Light Sources Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Shanghai), among the new LED standards promulgated in 2009-2010, there are only 9 national standards.

According to Liu Shiping, deputy secretary-general of the China Illuminating Engineering Society, “China is now a big country for LED production and application, but standards and testing systems have not yet been established.” According to statistics, in 2009, after the use of semiconductor lighting to get rid of the impact of the financial crisis, the market has grown by 30%. More than %, the output value reached 60 billion yuan.

Liu Shiping introduced that last year, the National Development and Reform Commission and other six ministries issued by the "semiconductor lighting energy development opinion" pointed out that China's semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry testing equipment, testing method development and standard formulation work can not meet the requirements of rapid industrial development. "The absence of standards and testing systems is not only related to the time required for testing, but also to the lack of domestic core technology patents. It is necessary to refer to international standards, and international standards research is still in its infancy."

According to Jun Jun, deputy secretary-general of the National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering R&D and Industry Alliance, the "12th Five-Year Plan" for semiconductor lighting includes several aspects such as strengthening standards and testing research and development, increasing the localization rate of chips, expanding the application range, and opening up the industrial chain. For the enterprise mergers and reorganizations that are faced with the opening of the industry chain, Yu Jun said that currently there is still lack of relevant fiscal, tax, and policy support, and it is necessary for the United National Development and Reform Commission and policy banks to strive for policy and credit support.

According to the industrial concentration target set out in the “Opinions on Energy-saving Development of Semiconductor Lighting”, by 2015, China will have about 10 backbone leading enterprises, including 3-5 upstream chip-scale production enterprises.

Liu Shiping believes that the development of the LED industry ultimately needs to rely on product standards and energy efficiency standards and other policies to guide "for the development of the entire industry, the government can only guide the policy through the formulation of standards or product subsidies, so as to achieve the LED industry and the strength of the enterprise Bigger and stronger."
