North America, Europe, LED the market entry requirements（down)

2．The eu regulations

In Europe,Due to the policy of banning sales of incandescent lamp,The demand of the LED lighting lamps and lanterns is expected to gradually increase.In addition,A variety of fields including cars,Application domains such as outdoor and decoration,And the use of LED lighting lamps and lanterns in indoor demand will surge,Conform to the requirements of the access to the eu regulations has become Chinese manufacturers face challenges.

a． Electrical safety testing

Low Voltage Directive，LVD For all low voltage products into the eu established the overall safety requirements,Belong to the semiconductor lighting products, as defined by the low voltage products,Therefore must also be under the direction of low voltage specifications.Different corresponding test standard LED lighting products vary,The following table:

 b.Emc test

In accordance with the requirements of EU directive 2014/30 / EU,Battery compatible test includes two aspects:Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic tolerance (EMS),The former mainly for conduction and radiation,While the latter mainly consider products such as electrostatic discharge,Radiation, bursts, surge, conducted interference resistance ability, namely the anti-jamming test.The main test standards for:EN55015;EN61547

And EN61000－3－2 The power harmonic requirements,EN61000－3－3 Power flashing.

c． ERP instruction

For LED lighting products, ERP directive rules LED lights and controllers need to meet the following requirements:

Energy requirements:Lamps and lanterns is the biggest energy efficiency index EEI;The no-load power control device,Standby power,And the loading efficiency;

The function of the LED lamp test requirements:The survival rate of 6000 h lamp and lumen maintenance ratio;Failure before the switch times;The startup time;95% lumens up time;Premature failure rate;Color rendering index;Color tolerance(The requirement of color consistency);Power factor PF.But now the European Union and have no claim on the LED flash frequency of ERP;

Product information as well as energy efficiency labeling requirements:Labeling luminous flux, nominal life, color temperature, etc.Detailed requirements limit please refer to the implementation of rules（EUNO．1194／2012；NO．874／2012）;

LED lighting products to meet the electrical safety,EMC, ERP, chemical Rosh, Reach, and electronic scrap recycling directive requirements can mark for CE,The other LED bulbs and lamps and lanterns according to the energy efficiency labeling is required,According to the measured data of energy consumption with energy efficiency labeling.

In LED product testing,In addition to the common electrical, energy efficiency, electromagnetic compatibility testing of outside force,Both the European Union and north American market,Are paying more attention to buyers of LED lamps and lanterns of some voluntary product certification certificate and performance testing,For example, the European market recognized GS certificate,The United States DLC （Design Lights Consortium）,Lighting Facts Test certification column names, etc.

In addition,Some LED products of special optical properties also are paying more attention to by the buyer,Such as stroboscopic validation,Spectral measurement,Color consistency,And color rendering index CRI, LED aging test, the energy conversion efficiency, luminous flux, such as Angle range performance requirements.So in the face of an increasingly competitive European and American markets,In addition to conform to the compulsory certification test,The extra performance often makes its products in many similar products are more likely to stand out from the crowd.
