No rules no standards. In the process of developing a market economy, the "rules" that symbolizes the standard. Commercial led high bay lighting fixture is a major industry development and growth of a necessary process, but also to participate in the hard conditions of the global market competition. Standards as the industry runs important consideration criteria for healthy and sustainable development of the industry has an important influence and role.
Development of standards, that is, rules of the game. As an emerging industry leading LED lighting market in the future, a greater need to improve the regulation of standards to guide the steady development of the industry. Currently, the global LED industry is in the jungle, princes disputes "war era", the lack of industry due to lack of standards and middleware problems caused by imperfect, market disorder, low barriers to entry, such as difficulty of marketing a series of unfavorable factors are becoming increasingly prominent. As an important part in the market competition, China's LED lighting industry standards in terms of participation and the development of what exactly is facing "difficulties"?
However, China's LED lighting industry related standards situation is not satisfactory. Related Insiders pointed out that the current, LED lighting product components are mostly non-standardized form of existence, lack of standards leads to no basis in product design, product technical patterns lead to confusion on the downstream supporting difficult, resulting in poor product interchangeability, compatibility and poor phenomenon everywhere, hindering the development of large-scale applications and industrial products.
In recent years, about the "lack of standards" argument can be described as rampant, and many people even chaos all boils down to the industry caused by lack of standards. However, Deputy Secretary of Guangdong Province Illuminating Engineering Society hold different views on this : "In recent years, China's semiconductor lighting standardization work are given a high priority from the national to local levels and amend the standard unit rapid progress China's semiconductor lighting and LED standards have basically covered all aspects of the industry chain, the market spread of the so-called 'standard missing' is actually a misunderstanding of the current standards are not familiar with the situation caused. "
According to Li Ximing Secretary-General introduced, in October 2012, the State Ministry issued a notice organizations to develop "comprehensive standardization of semiconductor lighting technology system." The system is divided into "General Standard" and "Materials and Devices", "chips and devices "," lighting equipment and systems "sub-system 3 of four parts. 3 sub-system in accordance with industry chain divided by product type under each sub-system further subdivided.

LED lighting is still in its infancy, rapid changes in technology roadmap, product performance quickly, so that some products can not keep up the pace of development of the standard-setting product performance, and reliability of the test methods and other basic standards the need to develop more in-depth research, standards also require a longer period.
Popular, the standard is a relatively mature product standardization, with a certain stability and relatively invariant. The LED lighting is an emerging industry, still in its early stages of development, product technology updates quickly, product standards development cycle can not keep up the pace . of technological development LED lighting industry in the current standards still exist about several issues: First, the parties harmonized standards as the product of its many links and revision process, from drafting to release the long implementation period, faced with outdated standards promulgated that situation . Secondly, because of the lag in market development and technological progress, innovation, research and development is not enough, leading to the presence of aspects of testing means and methods of LED lighting are many gaps in some key indicators. Third, LED lighting has matured many years to replace traditional lighting effect evaluation of the application is bound to face problems, such as biological safety light, light color index of the road, people light colored fitness, would require a new round of long-term evaluation, and even how to select a specific evaluation, which have been in the scientific argument.
On standards, China's LED industry is still facing many challenges. The rapid development of new industries brought the plight of the standard revision, with the inevitability and congenital, how to ease conflicts, break through the bottleneck, not only is the new standardized research topic , but also put a big question in the industry need to be urgently addressed. Improve product standards vary seize the high ground in favor of companies in the market, but also the key to ensure the development of China's LED industry. Chen Zhixiang, vice president , said the future of semiconductor light sources Industry Association of Guangdong Province will further strengthen the foundation of Commercial led high bay lighting fixture product standards, product standards and testing methods research standards, improve product testing standards, safety standards, performance standards and energy efficiency standards for sustained and healthy development of China's LED industry escort.
 In fact, the development of standards, foreign companies have already eyeing LED in order to seize the opportunity. Currently, the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), International Electrotechnical Commission, the European light engine Commission, the US Energy Star, ISA and other organizations are developing standards LED lighting industry to compete for the right to speak.
It is reported that the International Organization for Standardization and many international giants LED companies are placed in the standard issue important position. Europe and other countries also are developing their own technical standards and testing methods of research. Some international LED companies such as Philips, Osram , etc. While actively participate in national and international standardization work, but also to develop their own corporate standards, standardized parameter LED lighting products, such as voltage, current, flux, color coordinates, color temperature, color, life and other indicators. In early 2010, the coalition partner organizations ZHAGA Osram, Philips, Panasonic, Toshiba and other lighting giant established standard defines various optical engine interface. Currently, standardization has been formed, the product will also be launched in the Chinese market.
In terms of rules of the game, LED industry can be described in Guangdong province at the forefront. In order to regulate the market order to create a favorable industry environment, Guangdong Province, the first benchmarking system and standard optical components of the project, in Guangdong Province to promote the application of LED lighting products provide quality assurance for standards has accumulated a large amount of test data, which greatly promoted the Guangdong LED lighting to enhance the provincial technological progress and product quality, to create a favorable environment for industry standard foundation compacted. At present, Guangdong Province, innovative model has become a standard aspect of other provinces have followed the example of brothers and benchmarking.
In addition, Guangdong Province in the promotion and building standards have been constantly forward and explore. In 2013, the project team collaboration through optical components Guangdong Hong Kong and Taiwan LED Industry Innovation Alliance platform, standard mutual recognition of study, and ultimately interoperability standards tripartite strategic cooperation agreement. In addition, in June 2013, ZHAGA held in China during the special session, the project team and its standard optical components on the LED industry standards in depth, and in August, with ZHAGA Union signed a strategic cooperation agreement, to achieve the purpose of information exchange and eventually achieve mutual recognition of standards. Currently, the standard optical radiation component project has formed a global influence.
Three companies to sell products, second-rate brand companies do, first-class enterprise tree standards. Standards battle is actually a struggle for the market, who mastered the standard, grasps the market discourse. In the current international Commercial led high bay lighting fixture crowded market, the introduction of standards is particularly urgent. It should be noted that, in view of the development of LED technology is constantly improving, standards have combined with the specific circumstances of the domestic industry, the industry is looking forward to a more orderly, regulated market.
