Global LED lighting specification will be gradually implemented since 2013

LED gradually into indoor and outdoor lighting market, LED lighting prices have sharply declined, but has also led to uneven quality of many problems, it was noted that country have set LED high bay light specification, a number of mandatory lighting standards from 2012 onwards on the road, will be expected to accelerate the elimination of inferior vicious competition, and thus promote the LED lighting market reshuffle.
As the LED lighting applications are increasingly common and diversified, Taiwan's "Ministry of Economic Affairs' Bureau of Standards, have worked in recent years, a number of standards for LED lighting, LED lights normative following the footsteps of the leading countries in the world announced by the end of 2010 and issued three common LED interior lighting standards, including LEDT8 straight tube lamp, LED flood light, and light steel frame light (including plate lights), etc., the industry pointed out that, although the relevant standards have been set, but the LED lights after years of promotion, until 2012 is expected to expand to install, as the Government Importing slow plus budgeted operations, estimated to be 2013 to 2014, we expect to release procurement tenders.
Despite the development of LED industry in full swing, but because of the large regional differences in climate and environment, so the industry standard has not yet entered the national standard project, led by the respective provinces to promote establishment of regional standards for LED lighting, but it was noted that the NDRC will soon be through the LED lighting technology specification to indoor LED downlights for priority projects, is expected to be finalized in the technical specifications, the 2012 five-year plan in China, driven by central grants announced LED interior lighting will be expected to expand the implementation of the financial plan.
As for the LED lighting products enter the EU must pass CE certification, while taking into account the electromagnetic radiation may cause harm to the human body, the European Union also announced that starting in 2013, to enforce the human body electromagnetic radiation standards of safety.
With the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced in October 2011 the new solid-state lighting and lighting products to market norms, the industry pointed out that the recent concern LM-80 bad light test, expected to increase from April 2012 onwards to enforce the new norms on the road after coming North American market luminaire manufacturers will give priority to purchase verified through LM-80 LED products, for unverified Taiwan LED packaging and die factory, fear of the future into the U.S. market will suffer obstacles.
As the light fades LM-80 and subject to verification 6,000 hours of testing, consuming up to 6 to 8 months, part of the LED high bay light industry believes, LED products, specifications and technical advances, after a long few months later, LED lighting validation criteria may well will change, so hold this certification remains in doubt, but Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute said that, LM-80 is considered a ticket to enter the U.S. market, the manufacturer must be issued LM-80 (LED lumen maintenance) test report certificate in order to achieve the Energy Star mark,

Currently Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, (IES) has also been set out LM-80 light attenuation testing standards, not only for LED application products provide measurement standards, but also provide consumers with quality assurance, will become the world's common testing standards.
