The hottest LED lamp recall cases occur frequently

LED lamps and lanterns "recall" cases occur frequently, and the LED industry urgently needs to solve quality problems

in recent years, LED lamps and lanterns with energy conservation, environmental protection and longer service life have gradually replaced traditional lamps and lanterns, and the market share is rising. China has also become the world's largest lighting product manufacturer. According to the statistics of the LED Institute of higher industry and Research (GGII), in 2017, China's LED lighting was close to $22billion, an increase of nearly 40% year-on-year

in 2017, China's position as the first export destination of LED lighting products was further strengthened, and its proportion increased to 25 Special shaped copper strip is lsquo of our company; Supply side reform rsquo; 3%。 While the LED lighting imports of Brazil and India increased by nearly 157% and 49% respectively, becoming the top ten export destinations of LED lighting in China. In addition, South America, the Middle East, Vietnam and other regions have become the regions and countries with the fastest growth in LED lighting exports

however, with the increasing export volume of China's LED lighting products, some product quality problems are also worrying

in the past two years, many led export products have fallen into the quagmire of "recall" due to quality problems, which has also become a major pain point for LED export enterprises. Although at present, led enterprises have strengthened the control of the quality of export products through injection boxes and the measurement technology of newly developed mixing heads, there are still many recalled cases

according to the observation of senior engineer led, since 2018, there have been many recall cases in less than 3 months. The details are as follows:

the lamp strings exported to Slovenia were recalled

in January 2018, the European Commission rapid warning system for non food products (RApex) recalled the lamp strings made in China. The notification country of this case is Slovenia

the product is (electrical appliances) in the OECD portal category. Recall reason: the wire is easy to break, which is easy to cause the risk of electric shock, and the product does not meet the requirements of low voltage directive and en 60598

domestic LED lamps exported to Finland were recalled

in January 2018, the European Commission's rapid warning system for non food products (RApex) recalled LED lamps made in China. The notification country of this case is Finland. The product is (electrical appliances) in the OECD portal category

recall reason: the wire is easy to break, the insulation is poor, which is easy to cause the risk of electric shock, and the product does not meet the requirements of low voltage directive and en 62560

three LED lamps made in China were recalled

in February 2018, the European Commission's non food rapid warning system recently recalled three LED lamps made in China. Among them, the electrical insulation between the live parts of "atopsun" lamps and "GT industrial" lamps and easy to contact metals is insufficient, and users are in danger of electric shock. The two products do not meet the requirements of the EU low voltage directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598

another "party lighting" brand lamp contains short chain chlorinated paraffin, which has teratogenic, pathogenic and mutagenic toxicity, and the detection value is as high as 1.1%, which does not meet the requirements of the EU regulations on persistent organic pollutants

portable LED lamps exported to Hungary were recalled

in February 2018, the European Commission non food rapid warning system (RApex) recalled portable LED lamps made in China, with the brand name of JH. The notification country of this case is Hungary. The product is (electrical appliances) in the OECD portal category

recall reason: the cross-sectional area of the inner and outer cores of the conductor is too small, the lampshade is easy to disassemble when charging, the size of the socket and plug is not enough, the wire may overheat, and it does not meet the requirements of the low voltage directive and the European standard EN 60598

led ceiling lamps exported to Sweden were recalled

in March 2018, the European Commission non food rapid warning system (RApex) recalled led ceiling lamps made in China. The notification country of this case is Sweden and the brand is oedgroup limited. The product is (electrical appliances) in the OECD industrial classification code (oecdportalcategory)

recall reason: poor insulation. When replacing the light source, what should be done after the user's electronic universal testing machine accessories are damaged? Electric shock may occur, and the product does not meet the requirements of low voltage directive and EN60598

a domestic searchlight exported to France was recalled

in March 2018, the European Commission's rapid warning system for non food products (RApex) recalled the searchlight made in China. The notification country of this case is France and the brand is Ceba. The product is (electrical appliances) in the OECD industrial category

recall reason: the resistance to humidity is insufficient, and water may penetrate into the product, causing the user to have the risk of electric shock, and the product does not meet the requirements of low voltage directive and EN60598

a domestic searchlight exported to Spain was recalled

in March 2018, the European Commission's rapid warning system for non food products (RApex) recalled the searchlight made in China. The notification country of this case is Spain and the brand is luzeuropa. The product is (electrical appliances) in the OECD industrial classification code (oecdportalcategory)

recall reason: the cable is too thin, and the product does not meet the requirements of low voltage directive and EN60598

domestic lamp strings exported to Latvia were recalled

in March 2018, the European Commission rapid warning system for non food products (RApex) recalled Chinese lamp strings. The notification country of this case is Latvia and the brand is multi function. The product is (electrical appliances) in the OECD industrial classification code (oecdportalcategory)

recall reason: the cable is not properly designed and manufactured, which may fall off, resulting in easy electric shock, and the product does not meet the requirements of low voltage directive and EN60598

as for the recall case of LED lamps, experts from Jiangsu inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that although China's LED lamps have developed rapidly, formed a large industrial scale and have great market potential, the lack of core and key technologies and the scattered, small and chaotic industrial organization pattern still restrict the improvement of international competitiveness and improve the quality of recycled materials

and experts also pointed out that through the case analysis of European and American countries' recall of LED lamps in China in recent years, the main reasons are no more than the following four aspects of quality problems:

first, the waterproof performance of products is not up to standard, which is easy to be affected by moisture, resulting in the internal damage of lamps. Such products mainly appear in outdoor LED lamps

second, the anti electric shock protection of the product does not meet the standard requirements, mainly due to the design defects of some manufacturers, the hidden danger of electric shock in the structure, and the poor insulation of the cable may also cause fire

third, there are quality risks in the internal and external wiring of the product, which is easy to cause electric shock, fire, falling injury and other hazards, endangering the personal and property safety of consumers

fourth, the products contain toxic and harmful substances, which do not meet the requirements of relevant foreign laws and regulations

therefore, led export enterprises should timely understand the standards of LED lamp products in developed countries in Europe and the United States, and effectively improve product quality from the aspects of product design, raw material procurement, assembly and production
