LED lamps export law inspection problems and measures

According to related information, since the beginning of this year, LED lighting products have encountered three countries and regions such as Europe, America and the United States to reach 3 notifications. The main reason for this is that LED lamps can be overheated in the absence of isolation transformers and can easily cause fire; the structural design of the lamps is unreasonable. Prone to short-circuit, resulting in overheating of the product, causing the user to burn and the lamp's secondary coil in contact with the main metal, easily lead to electric shock, then there are frequent such events, our inspection of the regulatory authorities will have new initiatives?

Lamp exports repeatedly reported analysis of the problem where?

Manufacturers have low barriers to entry and are unfamiliar with foreign standards. The technical capabilities of production companies are uneven and they are mainly based on customer requirements for production and processing. For example, the international standard IEC 62560:2011 and the corresponding national standard “About 50V or more for general lighting use "The safety requirements of current LED lamps" (GB24906-2010) are not well understood, and the phenomenon of foreign notification after export has occurred from time to time.

The quality consciousness of enterprises needs to be strengthened and the products lack quality assurance Since the EU financial crisis, many companies have turned to middle and low-end products in the Middle East, South America and ASEAN regions. Due to low market access thresholds, inadequate government supervision, and lack of quality certification for products, these emerging markets lack quality traceability systems and reduce the overall quality of export LED lamps.

The inspection and quarantine supervision needs to be strengthened. The risk analysis of LED lamps and lanterns products needs to be carried out. Since these products have just been listed in the legal inspection catalog, the transitional period is currently adopted. Therefore, the inspection and supervision of LED lamps and lanterns needs to be strengthened.

Three recommendations for the inspection and supervision department:

Appropriately set up a production enterprise access threshold, increase the publicity of the standard through the product function and structure, export countries and regions and other risks analysis, the use of classified management ideas, set a threshold for some high-risk enterprises. Source control shall be conducted from aspects of product design, raw material procurement, etc., and qualified enterprises shall be required to carry out quality system certification and standardize the production behavior of enterprises. At the same time, take the initiative to increase the standard publicity efforts, the company announced the new version of LED lighting standards.

Enhance the awareness of quality and strengthen the market rectification The inspection and quarantine department should incorporate new classification management methods, strengthen the enforcement of laws and regulations regarding LED product design defects and the use of low-grade materials, stop exports of products that do not meet the requirements, and strive to enhance the quality awareness of the company. Encourage enterprises to promote their own brand production, and promote high-quality LED lighting products to go abroad.

Understand the company's situation, put forward specific recommendations for the timely detection of the situation within the transition period, product types, export distribution and other information, do a good job in advance preparation, and contact the testing laboratory to help companies analyze the cause of nonconformity. Increased verification of returned products and effective protection of product quality.
