3C" Oversight of LED Manufacturers

3C certification chaos when off?

Speaking of 3C certification, this is definitely an old topic without any freshness. The reason why the Spring Lighting Fair was such an important node to revisit this topic that was almost forgotten by many small and medium-sized lighting lighting companies was because it was a big issue concerning the healthy development of the industry and the sustainable development of the company. It was also because The more lighting and lighting companies pay a huge price and wake up the responsibility and conscience.

CCC certification, optional?

The 3C certification is actually the abbreviation of the English name "China Compulsory Certification" (China Compulsory Certification System), and is also the unified symbol of the country's use of compulsory product certification. As the national safety certification (CCEE), import safety quality licensing system (CCIB), China's electromagnetic compatibility certification (EMC) triple "CCC" certification authority. It is a product conformity assessment system implemented by the Chinese government to protect consumers' personal safety and national security, strengthen product quality management, and implement them in accordance with laws and regulations.

The 3C mark is not a quality mark, but just a basic safety certification. It is mainly trying to solve the long-term problems of multiple exits and repeated reviews in China's product certification system through a package solution such as "Unified Catalogue, Unified Standards, Technical Regulations, Conformity Assessment Procedures, Unified Certification Marks, and Unified Fee Collection Standards". , Duplicate charges, and the issue of non-division of certification behavior and law enforcement behavior, and the establishment of technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures that are consistent with international rules can promote trade facilitation and liberalization.

Although 3C certification is a mandatory product certification system and has been implemented for more than 10 years, the current lighting and lighting industry, the vast majority of small and medium lighting lighting companies characterized by "screwdriver" for this certification Little is known about it. Although some companies are also on the company's promotional materials or product packaging marked "the product has passed 3C certification", but they do not even know why to do 3C certification, not doing 3C may bring risks to the company; there are some companies that know However, the risk still exists but the luckily psychological delay has not been applied for 3C certification; some companies rely on themselves to have "backends" and "relationships". Even if they are related departments, they can also use low-cost public relations means to settle. Ever since, 3C certification has almost become a dispensable system in the lighting lighting industry.

Chaotic 3C certification

One of chaos: "low-key public relations." 3C certification, in line with the good things to benefit the country and the people, has become a tool for some department officials to seek rent and greed. The reporter found during the program's unannounced visits that most of the certification agencies claimed to have a background. Even if the company encountered “problems” in the certification, as long as they accept their certification consulting services and make appropriate corrections, they can ensure the smooth adoption of products. Certification. At the same time, they clearly transmit information and provide timely “PR” services when the company is under investigation.

The second chaos: "low-cost certification." In order to reduce costs as much as possible, some small and medium lighting lighting companies do not apply for product certification, but directly purchase certification marks. Also for the sake of reducing costs, there are many lighting and lighting companies with slightly stronger awareness of certification but weak awareness of the legal system. They will “spot” and only certify individual products, and then put the certification marks of these products on certain products. Dealers and consumers do not particularly care about this certification mark, which makes them time-tested, but do not know, once identified, it will face a typical fine of 50,000 yuan, weighed at 200,000 yuan.

Chaos of the three: low-cost scam. Because many small and medium-sized lighting lighting companies hope to get 3C certification at the lowest possible cost, fraudsters use this feature, using low prices as bait, setting up bureaux to make money. When companies use money, they no longer have access to the appropriate service personnel. It is understood that there are quite a few companies that have been deceived this year.

In short, with the further advancement of 3C certification, the gray value chain with 3C certification as the axis will also be opened.

Certification supervision makes public manufacturers sweat

In April last year, the Leliu Branch of the Market Security Supervision Bureau of Shunde District launched a three-month mandatory product certification campaign to rectify the new production enterprises that have been launched since 2011 and those that have failed spot inspections since 2011. In June, a total of more than 40 companies were inspected, 6 cases without 3C certifications were investigated, 2 cases were falsified with 3C certification marks, and the penalty amount was 220,000 yuan. The investigated and punished enterprises covered switchgear, lighting fixtures, home ventilation equipment, etc. Multiple industry areas.

It is understood that in all parts of the country, the 3C certification supervision work is in full swing, as the 3C certification arising from the manufacturers disputes also occur from time to time. It is worth mentioning that since the end of last year, there are no less than 100 lighting and lighting companies in the town because of 3C certification problems encountered supervision troubles, 3C certification has also attracted media attention.

3C certification gets more and more attention

Zhongshan is the most concentrated lighting lighting industry, with more than 15,000 lighting and lighting companies. Lighting products accounted for half of the country’s total sales. The certification status of lighting and lighting companies is therefore highly valued by the governments at all levels in Zhongshan City and related departments. On March 17th last year, the National Luminaire Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Zhongshan) was approved by the National Certification and Accreditation Administration to become a designated national compulsory product certification lighting electrical product testing laboratory, which can provide lighting and electrical appliance manufacturing enterprises within Guangdong Province. CCC certification testing service. The relevant person in charge of the Quality Supervision Bureau of Zhongshan City stated that, as designated by the National Certification and Accreditation Administration, the National Luminaire Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Zhongshan) has started to fix the lighting products and ballast products covered in lighting electrical products since the date of approval. General-purpose lamps, portable general-purpose lamps, recessed lamps, aquarium lamps, night lights installed in power sockets, recessed-in-place lamps, portable lamps for children, fluorescent ballasts, and discharge lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps) The CCC safety certification testing and electromagnetic compatibility certification testing for 10 types of products, such as current transformers and AC electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps.

In response to this, more and more lighting and lighting companies have actively applied for 3C certification this year. In an interview with several certification agencies in the ancient town recently, the reporters found that the staff of these certification agencies are busy. .
