Jiang Chunxu: LED lighting products benchmark system is not equal to the standard

In 2013, with the three-year popularization of LED public lighting policy in Guangdong Province, the bidding for LED lighting projects in the developed cities of the Pearl River Delta will be completed in the first half of the year. Among them, Guangdong LED lighting products benchmarking system as Guangdong Province One of the necessary conditions for the procurement and selection of public lighting products will play an increasingly important role.

What are the new regulations for benchmarking LED products? How does the benchmarking system work in the public lighting market? The reporter interviewed Mr. Jiang Chunxu, the director of China Saibao Laboratory, to learn more about the benchmarking system of LED lighting products.

Benchmarking system is not equal to standard

When talking about what is the benchmark system for LED lighting products, Director Jiang stressed: “Many people nowadays easily confuse the benchmark system with standards. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The benchmark system for LED lighting products is not standard. The standard is product technology and products. The threshold of quality, and the benchmark system is a means of optimizing the basic parameters of the standard on the basis of the mandatory standards, and pursuing excellent scientific evaluation of product quality."

“In short, the LED industry standard is a norm that LED companies generally need to comply with, and it needs to be comprehensive. The benchmarking system for LED lighting products is not a specification. It is based on the needs of technology and market development, and selects the parameters that the industry pays attention to at this stage. Excellent way, choose good good products to enter the market, and strive to establish benchmarks and guide the development of the industry." Director Jiang said. By definition, the LED lighting product benchmarking system is based on the benchmarking enterprise management concept in Germany. It is based on the premise that the LED lighting products meet the national safety and EMC standards and the 3C certification (if the products belong to the CCC range). Product re-sampling for testing. According to the test results, the selection of the best, according to the scores of the grades recommended, has a certain degree of innovation and advancement. The research and implementation of the benchmarking system laid the foundation for the development of industry standards. Although the LED standards are constantly improving, many standards cannot replace the benchmark system. The two cannot be equal.

“However, when the products entering the benchmark system are used in specific lighting places, they must meet the basic requirements of the corresponding standards.” Director Jiang said firmly.

Benchmarking system is dynamic and open

Along with the rapid development of LED strategic emerging industries, many technologies are still immature and stable. Therefore, the performance of some performance standards and testing method standards lags behind, resulting in non-uniformity of product quality evaluation standards. The products on the market are shoddy and the phenomenon of fish-eye mixing is more common. Therefore, the introduction and implementation of the LED lighting benchmark system is very important to promote the development of the LED industry. In the development of the LED industry, technology development is changing with each passing day, and the market is turbulent. Based on the needs of technology and market development, in order to ensure rigor, the benchmark system of LED lighting products has also changed accordingly.

“The benchmarking system is dynamic and open. The benchmarking system is matched with the development of the product in the same period. Based on the technical and market development situation and certain forward-looking, the corresponding performance indicators are formulated.” Director Jiang introduced. The benchmarking index is more flexible than the standard, and can be updated at any time (currently three months) with parameter updates or project adjustments based on the latest performance indicators. According to the actual application and effect of the benchmark system, the benchmark system will be updated and adjusted accordingly.

According to Director Jiang, the benchmarking system is phased. Since 2010, the Science and Technology Department has organized research on the LED benchmarking system. So far, more than 800 LED lighting products of the provincial lighting companies have been evaluated by the LED benchmark system. The recommended catalogue of 8 batches of benchmark system products, a LED product benchmark system in March 2012, and a new benchmarking system in September.

"The current LED industry is in the ascendant. The LED lighting product benchmarking system is a new thing. It needs to constantly improve itself in the criticism. Therefore, in order to ensure the scientific nature of the benchmarking system, in addition to establishing a team of experts to provide service guidance, Therefore, the opinions of people from all walks of life will also be sought. Therefore, industry experts and professors are very welcome to provide valuable opinions on the development of LED lamps." Director Jiang said with a smile, "On the other hand, LED lighting is different from traditional light sources and has electronic characteristics. We also need to break the thinking inertia of traditional light sources and innovatively understand and recognize LEDs."

Energy efficiency and quality complement each other

Referring to the benchmarking system for the evaluation of new LED lighting products issued by Guangdong Province in August 2012, Director Jiang pointed out: "The new system has added two key indicators, namely organizational capacity and product early defect control, which will be based on consistency control. The organizational capacity and major defect indicators have been raised to more than 50% of the benchmark performance to fully guarantee the quality of the products entering the benchmark system."

According to the introduction, in view of the problems of “product inconsistency”, “narrow application scope”, “longer publication period” and “incomplete sampling method” in the old system, the new system has added factory on-site inspection links to ensure “send inspection”. The product is consistent with the “factory actual mass production product” and “engineering actual sales product”. And adopt the principle of “according to the inspection, follow the inspection and follow the assessment”, and at the same time increase or change some of the scoring projects. The addition of “Miscellaneous Products” to promote product innovation.

"In the past, the reason why the system's light efficiency and color temperature were placed in a more important position was mainly because the industry was more concerned about the light efficiency and color temperature, and at that time, the products with high color temperature were also compared. Much. But it can't be regarded as encouraging the sacrifice of safety quality to enhance the nominal light efficiency of LED. In fact, in the whole benchmark system, we regard product quality as the primary condition. The indicators in the benchmark system are comprehensive. The performance indicators are mutually constrained. If the product scores zero in the two indicators at the same time, it will not enter the benchmark system." Director Jiang said.

According to Director Jiang, the new LED lighting product evaluation benchmark system has been running for nearly half a year. The benchmarking system expert group visited 60-70 LED lighting companies. From the feedback of users, the effect is much better. "The combination of new benchmark system evaluation and measurement has played an important role in improving the comprehensive capability of enterprises. First, the probability of entering and exiting the products of the benchmark system and the actual use of the products is reduced, and the complaints from customers are reduced. Second, the early failure of the products. The rate is greatly reduced, which is conducive to the promotion and application of LED public lighting. Thirdly, the benchmarking system evaluates and evaluates the design level, management and technology of the enterprise, and provides technical guidance to the enterprise, which is conducive to the enterprise to strengthen the design management level. And improve the production process." Director Jiang said happily.

“In the new benchmark system, energy efficiency and quality complement each other. The new benchmark system sets up a test solution based on the working environment, and tests and screens the product for major defect indicators, which enhances the reliability and stability of the product to truly realize LED lighting. The product is energy-saving and saves money.” At the end of the interview, Director Jiang said that the indicators of the LED benchmark system are based on: ensuring the comfort and safety of the lighting based on the long life of the product.
