LED lighting lacks national standards industry calls for postponing home LED lamp subsidies

The lighting industry is concerned that the National Standard for LED Lighting (CNS) has not been released, but the Ministry of Economy intends to target home LED light bulbs at a rate of RMB 200 per subsidy. It is feared that bad coins will drive out good money, and those who produce poor quality goods will become the biggest winners. Zhang Kongcheng, the chairman of the Taiwan Lighting Industry Association, urged the Bureau of Standards to speed up the development of national standards for LED lighting when he led the team to the Bureau of Standards yesterday.

According to the lighting industry who did not wish to be named, the Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs drafted China's LED lighting national standard for many years to implement the government’s energy-saving and carbon reduction policy. However, it has not yet been officially implemented so far, and the lighting industry has not given inspection and testing opportunities. To this end, Zhang Kongcheng called on the Director of the Bureau of Standards Chen Jieshan on October 8. He hopes that the Bureau of Standards will accelerate the development of national standards for LED lighting. However, the industry did not expect that the Ministry of Economic Affairs suddenly announced on this Thursday that it would propose a subsidy policy for household LED bulbs within one month. The industry bluntly stated that even the standards were not available. How could it be subsidized?

The industry pointed out that in order to encourage people to save energy and reduce carbon, the Ministry of Economic Affairs intends to follow the subsidy policy for energy-saving appliances (refrigerators, washing machines, televisions and air-conditioners). It plans to allocate RMB 1 billion in funding in the near future. For household LED bulbs, the maximum subsidy is RMB 200. For households, each household will subsidize 5 to 10 LED bulbs, which is expected to be implemented before the end of this year.

The LED lighting so far has no CNS standard, and this year's two waves of energy-saving appliances subsidies, based on energy-saving marks as a subsidy basis, completely different. At present, there are at least 4 or 50 LED light bulb manufacturers in the country, but the quality of production varies greatly. The industry is concerned that if there is no CNS standard as a subsidy basis for LED lighting, there may be special production of low-cost LED light bulb manufacturers in the future, and the service life is less than the test standard. With the advantage of price, it swept most of the market, and the bad money drove the good currency.

The industry strongly urges the Ministry of Economic Affairs to first introduce national standards for LED lighting, and then subsidize home-use LED bulbs.
