On July 9, Guangdong lighting Society issued the group standard "technical specification for ultraviolet germicidal lamps", which specifies the technical requirements, safety requirements, ultraviolet radiation illuminance, ozone production rate and other items. Recently, the association has launched the formulation of two group standards, namely "technical application specification for safety and performance of ultraviolet disinfection lamps" and "safety and performance requirements for ultraviolet disinfection lamps", which are planned to be completed by the end of this year.

UVC provides the support for domestic manufacturers to protect their health.

It is widely used, but there are hidden dangers

In recent years, campus ultraviolet germicidal lamps burn students frequently. Many consumers appeal: "when can we make a rule for using ultraviolet lamps in classrooms?" In fact, UV lamp has the advantages of strong sterilization effect and mobility, and is often used as sterilization tools in large public places such as schools, hospitals, factories and so on. With the outbreak of this year's epidemic, manufacturers have taken the lead in the development of UVC led, and launched a variety of disinfection and sterilization products implanted with UVC LED or products with related functions, which has accelerated the pace of UV lamp entering the consumer market. At present, there are 250 registered products, including a variety of ultraviolet germicidal lamp, ultraviolet phototherapy instrument, ultraviolet disinfection vehicle and a series of ultraviolet light source sterilization products.

An e-commerce platform searched for "ultraviolet disinfection lamp". In the product profile which ranked the top in sales volume, it can be seen that in the certification certificate and testing standards, most of the products only showed the enterprise's "hygiene license for disinfection product manufacturer", as well as the entrusted test report of microbial sterilization of the product, the mite removal rate and sterilization rate showed as high as 99%. In the part of product operation introduction, most of the products have complete steps, and the operation process of the products in each scene is more detailed. Some products also focus on the publicity of the prompt instructions such as paying attention to ultraviolet radiation in the use process.

Some people in the industry have disclosed that as there is no relevant standard for the finished products of ultraviolet lamps in the industry, the products can be sold by e-commerce if they have relevant certification or test reports. At the same time, in terms of installation, due to the lack of standards, only businesses can remind customers, such as the control circuit of ultraviolet lamp and the control circuit of civil lighting lamp should be separated, and the danger sign should be pasted to prevent it from being opened by mistake.

Relying on standards to guide the orderly development of the market

Due to the lack of rules and low entry threshold, people from all walks of life have entered the bureau to kill the market, which makes the original market segments into a state of "disorder and disorder". In order to ensure that UV-C products have rules to follow before the introduction of relevant standards, in May this year, the global Lighting Association issued the "UV-C safety guidelines". In view of the current situation of market development and the urgent need of relevant technical guidance from the industry, the global lighting association drafted and issued the "UV-C safety guide", which will be used as a transitional guidance technical document to provide reference for manufacturers of UV-C equipment and products.

Prior to this, Shanghai Pudong intelligent lighting Federation organized more than 40 units to prepare the 1.0 version of the application guide for lamps and light sources for ultraviolet disinfection and disinfection, which was officially released to the whole industry on March 31 in the membership group, Council group, chairman group and live group of the intelligent lighting Federation. The guide comprehensively introduces the design, manufacture, selection, use and protection of ultraviolet disinfection products. It also analyzes the importance of national and industrial important standards, specifications and certification for the development of ultraviolet disinfection products, which provides a basis for consumers to fully understand and understand ultraviolet disinfection products.

Industry experts believe that with the advent of the era of big health, killing products will benefit for a long time. Among them, ultraviolet germicidal lamp will develop into a stable long-term demand due to its strong sterilization effect. The formulation of relevant standards will provide a stable development environment for the UV lamp industry. With the stability of UV-C LED technology, the UV lamp killing market will be further opened, extending from surface sterilization to household appliances (air, static / dynamic water sterilization).
