LED lights to improve the standard of Korean exports

　　Recently, South Korea issued a number G/TBT/N/KOR/408 informed ( on the draft standard fluorescent replacement LED lamps (K 10025)). The draft involves straight tube can be replaced , townhouses and ring type fluorescent lamp LED safety standards , and also provides the security and functional requirements , temperature extremes and compatibility requirements of the standard , once introduced , will probably related products exported to South Korea have a significant impact .

　　According to reports, the draft standard may involve replacing the straight tube , safety standards townhouses and ring LED fluorescent lamps . The draft standard also provides a safe and functional requirements LED fluorescent replacement lamps , including security requirements such as insulation resistance, dielectric strength, creepage distances, clearances , heat and fire , etc., performance requirements , including luminous flux, color temperature and point / off lifetime .

　　Experts suggested that the draft standards will improve the survival cost of LED lamps . Bulletin No. G/TBT/N/KOR/408 explicitly mentioned , as specified in the draft standard insulation resistance , dielectric strength, creepage distances, clearances , heat and fire and other safety requirements are different types of existing lamps requirements and current applicable IEC standards. But in fact, the draft standard in the " light weight" , "light distortion ", " rise " significantly improve the safety and other aspects of the indicator in the IEC standards and criteria on the basis of JEL . These lamps require high demands made materials , will greatly enhance the production cost of the lamps .

　　The new standard will result in unnecessary barriers to trade. LED lights at both ends of the draft standard lamp cover color specified as white , but in fact , security at both ends of the lamp cover LED light colors and products are not necessarily linked , these do not involve the design and performance characteristics of safety , should be traded Manufacturers of both self- regulation or self-designed according to the target market, consumer preferences , such as the inclusion of common standards , will likely cause unnecessary barriers to trade in the sales contract.
