How to through the "UL" certification of LED enterprise

  United States product safety standards UL standards as one of the world's most stringent quality standards for a number of different devices and electrical appliances to form a complete testing program. While meeting UL standards and LED companies to open United States market an important "key", but due to the line box, long period and need to spend a lot of money, many enterprises cannot be LED China into the United States market. Next to those preparing to enter the United States market, need certified LED enterprises with some advice:

  In recent years, China's LED market showed an upward trend, increasing world market share. Currently domestic LED lighting export market still by United States, and European, and Japan three big traditional market accounted for led status, and North America occupy global LED 23.1% of market share, future, with United States banned incandescent policy of in-depth advance, its market will rendering more high growth, is expected to years composite growth up 20%, to 2020 LED lighting market scale up 27.3 billion dollars, became global LED lamps export first object, is LED lighting export Enterprise competition fierce of market.

  In the United States safety standard is LED products to enter the United States the primary condition of the market, mainly the implementation of UL safety certification or ETL safety certificate, both of which are based on United States national UL1993 LED bulbs and LED module UL8750. The very strict requirements of standards for products and certification costs are very expensive and long cycle, many LED prohibitive export enterprises in China.

  It is understood that the UL Standard in structure can be divided into: the range of products covered by the standard, the product structure of requirements, requirements for using raw materials of the products, the product used component of request application, test equipment and test methods, test equipment requirements and test methods of the factory of the manufacturer, product labels, and the specification of requirements and so on. As the industry's recognized authority lighting safety codes and standards development, UL Standard has become one of the world's hardest test standards.

  Enterprises need to strictly control every step in the production process, in order to reduce the wastage rate. Especially the UL certification, needs from raw materials to finished the whole process of strict control.

  Products through UL standards is a very large and detailed engineering, the functioning of the internal management and quality control have very high demands, from supplier selection, monitoring of incoming inspection of raw materials, manufacturing process control, shipment tracking service required according to standard audit provisions, policies and procedures. Also, certification bodies through the quarter going to send their staff to conduct field audits of the factory, based on the sample application for certification, documentation and ISO processes to check one by one, if any exception will open the correction list, otherwise it will eliminate eligibility for certification.

  Companies if you want to UL Standard certification process to increase efficiency, and can be done in the following improvements:

1. strengthen the UL standards for training of engineering research and development personnel, allowing engineers to participate in UL or ETL certified training institutions training courses or other third parties, at the product development stage that the import requirements of UL standards;

2. in accordance with the requirements of UL standards, establish the necessary testing laboratories, product testing before the pre-screening the pre-screening or in laboratory;

3. establishment of a sound quality management system, doing the test instrument calibration records, do the work of data records;

4. ensure product consistency, Parts control and track record.
