The guests included Howard Wolfman, founder and chairman of Lumispec Consulting, and Nie Pengxiang, president of LTL's testing and testing, Pan Yurong, director of global market development of Shenzhen Zhongming Semiconductor Lighting Co., Ltd., Edward J. Schmidt, president of MCR, and Beat Kreuter, general manager of NMKO Shanghai operations. Dunndee Jones, Asia Quality Manager, International Purchasing Company Dixons Retail PLC in Hong Kong DSG (Asia) International Procurement Co., Ltd., Zhang Hong, Director of Semiconductor Lighting Technology, NOPIS National Optoelectronics Center, and senior representative from UL.
Zhang Hong, director of semiconductor lighting technology at NOPIS National Optoelectronics Center, said that US laws and regulations are relatively sound and more stringent than those in Europe. For domestic companies to enter the US market, the three standards of the US Energy Star, Lighting Facts and DLC must be taken seriously. Today, we mainly talk about Lighting Facts and DLC certification requirements.
Lighting Facts: If you want to sell LED products in the US market, you need this label. There are 5 indicators in Lighting Facts that you must fill in. 1. Luminous flux. 2. Power. 3. Color. 4. Color temperature. 5. Color rendering index These 5 items must be filled in and out.
The Lighting Facts indicator is a commonly used certification indicator before March of this year. Also indicate the warranty for several years. It is very convenient for companies to fill in the Lighting Facts website. As long as your product specifications are met, the system will automatically publish them online. All indicators of Lighting Facts are sourced from the IESLM-79-2008 standard.
In order to reduce the cost of the manufacturer, as long as the company provides samples to test. There is no description of life in the United States. All standards in the United States do not assess life, but only LM per watt. In addition, Lighting Facts only accepts its own reports, and all you want to get Lighting Facts certification must go to the laboratory approved by Lighting Facts.
Lighting Facts will be tested according to LM79, LM80, ISTMT, TM-21 standards, so it is best to find a senior person to fill out the recommendations in the domestic report. At present, the Lighting Facts website is still being revised, and it will be more standardized and comprehensive. There is also a search tool for you to find.
Of course, there will be related fees starting in November 2012. For the first time, you will be required to pay $150 in Lighting Facts and $100 per year in certification fees. In addition, the E26 lamp holder in the United States is mandatory inspection, and the US federal government pays great attention to the energy conservation and safety of products.
Next, DLC, the main purpose of the United States to promote DLC is to improve energy efficiency, DLC is mainly for commercial lighting, lighting outside the building, of course, in the United States commercial lighting is greater than the market share of home lighting. Firstly, the test of the lamp is very demanding, the luminous flux is not lower than 2200LM, and the color temperature is limited to 5Years. The CRI is greater than 80 and the warranty is 5 years. The development of this standard shows that all manufacturers have the same platform, and everyone is in a fair competition.
Here, Zhang Hong suggested that domestic companies should not wait for all products to be certified before they are done. Be sure to understand before doing this, otherwise many things will need to be changed. In addition, the requirement of DLC is that the warranty is 5 years and the service life is 50,000 hours. Of course, Energy Star is guaranteed for three years. So although it is possible to pass the ENERGY STAR certification and then to detect the DLC, it may not work because the DLC requirements will be higher.
In addition to applying for DLC, companies can provide technical information, light source declarations, and warranty declarations. However, it is important to emphasize the LM indicator of the whole lamp. DLC places great emphasis on the standard data of LM-79.
Apply online for DLC process: Determine whether the product category is within the scope of DLC--Read the application guide to prepare relevant technical documents--Create a login account--fill in the application form, submit the technical report--payment--DLC audit data-- . Of course, if you fail to pass the information, you can submit the information for free - review the information - receive the email notification - the approval is passed, such a process. 
Zhang Hong: US market access and performance requirements
Recently, the "2012 Quality In Light-Overseas Strategy Summit Forum" co-sponsored by Shanghai Incentive Testing Technology Service Co., Ltd. and Gaogong LED was held in Guangzhou Poly World Trade Center in conjunction with the 2012 Gaogong LED Exhibition. This forum brings together domestic and foreign elites in the LED industry to discuss foreign market management strategies, as well as explanations and strategies for relevant certification standards in various countries.
