CSA Held Seminar on CSA022-CSA026 Standards

In order to ensure technical rationality of CSA standards, to improve adoption rate of CSA standards and support the implementation of relevant national policies, CSA held the seminar of CSA022-CSA026 standards of interface requirements for LED lighting in Shanghai on August 31, 2013. Ruan Jun, Deputy Secretary-General of CSA and Secretary-General of CSAS, said that the enterprises were the main body of industry and the main user of the standards, and that they were encouraged to participate in the standards developing course by putting forward more recommendations. More than 70 representatives from Epistar corporation, Nanjing Handson Co. Ltd, Philips, Shanghai Sansi, Shanghai Yaming lighting Co., Ltd, Ningbo Sunpu, Jiuzhou Optoelectronics, Dongguan Institute of OPTO-Ekectronics Peking University, the China Metrology Institute, National Semiconductor discrete device QC Center, China CESI (Guangzhou) Laboratory, Centre Testing International Corporation, China Certification Center for Quality Mark, EVERFINE Corporation, etc. attended the seminar.

Zheng Chenglong from the State Key Laboratory of Solid-state Lighting (SKL) Changzhou base explained CSA022 The Compliance Measurement of the Interface for LED Lighting Application - Street/Tunnel Light Consisting of LED Module with Heatsink and Separated Control Gear (consultation draft), CSA024 The Compliance Measurement of the Interface for LED Lighting Application - Downlight Consisting of LED Module with No Heatsink and Separated Control Gear (Consultation Draft) And CSA026 The Compliance Measurement of the Interface for LED Lighting Application - Spotlight Consisting of LED Module with No Heatsink and Separated Control Gear (consultation draft) during the meeting. He briefed the background of the project, testing methods, progress and feedback of the project and its modification process. Zhou Xiang, vice-president of the Changzhou SSL Lighting applications Laboratory and State Key Laboratory of Solid-state Lighting (SKL) Changzhou base explained CSA023 LED Interface Requirements for Application of LED Lighting - Downlight Consisting of LED Module with No Heatsink and Separated Control Gear (consultation draft) and CSA025 Interface Requirements for Application of LED Lighting - Spotlight Consisting of LED Module with No Heatsink and Separated Control Gear (consultation draft).

Based on the consultation drafts' content, participants had in-depth and careful studies, actively raised questions on specific test methods, definition, data, indicator, etc. They had lively interaction with the members of the working group regarding the CSA standards. Representatives acknowledged the achievements of CSA standards, and also put forward many constructive opinions in support of draft revision and improvement.

Ruan Jun said that the development of solid-state lighting was very fast with interchangeability as an important feature. From the view of industry development, enterprise should be the main body of standardization work. However, considering that the innovation capacity and standardization level of present enterprise , a joint operation on generic technology research of specifications interface was being conducted through State Key Laboratory together with backbone enterprises, promoting CSA standards at the same time. It was said that the CSAS had established CSAS Interface Standardization working group from State Key Laboratory members in 2013, responsible for the standardization of LED lighting product interfaces, and had developed CSA016, CSA018 and other standards.
