Recently, the US Department of Energy (DOE) intends to revise the energy-saving standards and test methods for general-purpose fluorescent lamps and reflective incandescent lamps to further improve the energy-saving requirements for lamps, which will have an impact on the export of Ningbo lamps and lanterns.
It is reported that nearly 60% of the lighting products in the US market are from China, and Ningbo is the largest outdoor lighting manufacturer in China. In 2007, the export volume of lamps, lighting fixtures and similar products reached US$663 million, of which only exported to the US market. It reached $126 million. The revised energy-saving standards and test methods for general-purpose fluorescent lamps and reflective incandescent lamps will set a higher barrier to entry for lighting products exported to the United States. By then, all lighting products that do not meet the new requirements of the US Department of Energy's lighting energy-saving will be banned from entering the US market, and the Ningbo lighting export market will also be affected.
It is understood that today, energy saving has become an important performance indicator of lighting products, not only in the United States, but also in countries around the world are actively studying and formulating new energy-saving standards for lamps. For example, the European Union will set energy-saving requirements for office space and street lighting equipment in 2008. In 2009, energy-saving requirements for household lighting equipment will be introduced; the new energy-saving standards for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan are also being developed intensively. From the current situation of the lighting market in our city, some lighting export enterprises are not enough to withstand higher energy-saving requirements.
Therefore, the quality supervision department reminds the majority of lighting manufacturers to recognize the new trend of global energy-saving technology development as soon as possible, and to accelerate the research and development of energy-saving lamps with independent intellectual property rights through technological innovation, in order to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises in the global lighting market. . The quality supervision department will pay close attention to the latest developments of energy-saving standards for various types of lamps abroad, and notify relevant enterprises at the first time. At the same time, organize Ningbo production enterprises to carry out research and evaluation on energy-saving standards, and raise unreasonable foreign standards, and how to In-depth discussion on improving the energy-saving technology of Ningbo lamps and the independent innovation capability of the industry.
