Canada's new energy efficiency standard for light bulbs will be deferred two years later

Canadian authorities announced that they will extend the deadline for complying with new energy efficiency standards by two years for common light bulbs (eg 40, 60, 70 and 100 watt bulbs). After the date has been extended, the 75-watt and 100-watt bulbs must comply with the new energy efficiency regulations from January 1, 2014, while the 40-watt and 60-watt bulbs will begin to meet standards on December 31, 2014.

With the advancement of production technology and the importance of human beings for energy conservation, the energy saving and environmental protection performance of light bulbs has become the biggest concern for light bulb production and importing countries. High-efficiency lighting products such as compact fluorescent lamps, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and traditional low-halogen halogen lamps have gradually become the main sales force in the market. This year, many countries have also put forward more optimized energy efficiency requirements for lighting products: Argentina bans the sale of incandescent bulbs from June 1. The EU Ecolabelling Commission released a new “floral flower” label for bulbs in June. The regulations apply to all light sources used for general lighting with luminous fluxes ≥60 lumens and ≤12,000 lumens; in July, the US Environmental Protection Agency issued the Energy Star Specification Version 1.1 of the lamps; Mexico began nationwide on August 1 Implementation of the lighting energy saving plan will replace incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps in the next two years. Since September 1, the European Union has banned the sale of incandescent tungsten bulbs of 60 watts. Since September 2012, it will begin to ban 40-watt incandescent lamps. 25-watt traditional light bulb.

Ningbo is one of the three major lighting production bases in the country. According to statistics, from January to November 2011, a total of 3426 batches of electric light source products such as fluorescent lamps, tungsten halogen lamps, and arc lamps were exported from Ningbo, with a total value of USD 131.3 million. Among them, 2,966 were exported to Canada and the amount was US$141.37 million. The inspection and quarantine authorities reminded relevant companies that although Canada postponed the implementation date of the new energy efficiency standards, the trend of global energy conservation and consumption reduction is very obvious. Therefore, companies must first raise awareness of environmental protection and product competitiveness, pay attention to the upgrading of products, and take the initiative as the initiative. , Actively develop new markets; Second, we must strictly comply with the energy efficiency standards of various exporting countries for production, maintain communication with customers, and keep abreast of the latest standards; Finally, we must increase inspection efforts and strengthen product risk control capabilities in exports. Before the last good quality.
