The FDA wants to regulate LEDs and scare a group of LED export companies. The real situation is this.

Recently, some media have reported that LED lights will be included in the scope of FDA supervision.

Original excerpt: It is understood that after the implementation of this rule, LED light products will face double "level check" audit, in addition to customs clearance, customs clearance may also require FDA release. However, this change only involves the LED lamp itself, and does not involve the use of LED lights (such as lamps without the LED lamp itself).

In this regard, Zhang Hong, general manager of the incentive test, said that this is the wrong news, not the FDA's request, some people misunderstood, to rumor.

"This statement should be a misunderstanding from the manufacturer or distributor. This is an article from Amazon. We divide the commonly mentioned lights into two categories, one is called Lamps, the other is called The luminaire has a casing with a light source inside, and the mistake made in this article is that the lamp and the lamp are not separated. It has been said that the LED lamp does not contain LED lights, which leads many people to understand." Zhang Hong explained.

In addition, for light bulbs, there is always a requirement for energy labeling in the United States. According to the Federal Decree 16 CFR PART 305, the US Federal Trade Commission has posted an “energy label” for the bulb requirements of the E26 lamp.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is a federal agency that enforces multiple antitrust and consumer protection laws. The US Federal Trade Commission FTC issued an energy efficiency labeling rule in 1979 under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA).

The rules require energy labeling for consumer products such as major appliances to help consumers compare various types of products. When the rules were first published, the eight product categories were standardized: refrigerators, freezers, freezers, dishwashers, water heaters, washing machines, room air conditioners and stoves. Later, the FTC expanded the scope of the rules, including central air conditioning, heat pumps, plumbing products, lighting products, ceiling fans and television sets.

The FTC issued a final amendment to expand the regulatory review of the bulb label. At the same time, the specific issues raised during the litigation process, such as product coverage, exemption, package size, product identification, testing, voluntary labeling, performance period, power claims and color appearance are discussed and analyzed.

The following is an FDA note:

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are different from laser diodes and are not subject to the federal laser product performances tandard.

Therefore, LED lights have nothing to do with the FDA. It is not that the FDA has a new thing to manage LED products. First, the FDA has not sent any news. Second, other organizations have not reported that they are managing LEDs.

Energy label

Zhang Hong suggested, "This energy label is actually a lot of years ago. It is not a new requirement for LED products. We have been asking for training when we are training companies. Products should be labeled Lighting Facts, if it is a light fixture. Class, can apply for voluntary certification, is a colored label, for the bulb category, you need to post a black and white label, which is what most manufacturers in the United States know, there will be on their product box This label."

Therefore, the energy label referred to by Amazon is actually the energy label required by the FTC. It should be heard by people and the FTC should be heard as FDA.

In addition, the FDA has requirements for laser-based products. Just like blue-ray radiation, it can not cause harm to human body. However, LED products are not lasers. There are also clear explanations for LEDs in FDA regulations. LED products are not suitable for FDA. Some requirements mean that the LEDs are thrown away in the FDA's requirements for radiation products.

Zhang Hong said that LED bulb products will not cause harm to the human body, nor laser, so it has nothing to do with the FDA, that is, two things are confused.

All in all, the FTC was not issued this year or recently. This regulation was established long before the federal law. Only LED bulbs are exported to the United States, and a black and white label must be posted in accordance with federal regulations. The range of requirements is very narrow, just the E26 lamp head of the bulb type.
