Recently, the Mexican Ministry of Energy issued a mandatory standard NOM-031-ENER-2012 " roads, highways and public areas used for outdoor LED lighting energy efficiency specifications and test methods" in its official gazette , and May 05, 2013 from the date of entry into force , all covered by the scope of the standard LED lighting products into the Mexican market in accordance with this standard for testing.
The minimum standard for outdoor use LED lighting energy efficiency requirements , classification , test procedures , labeling and market supervision , etc. to make a detailed request. Minimum requirements in terms of luminous efficiency , low luminous efficiency LED lamps for street lighting requirements of 70lm / W, LED Wall light effect for outdoor use minimum requirements for the 52lm / W, LED flood light outdoor use minimum luminous efficiency requirements 70lm / W. Flux mark on all outdoor lighting total flux measurements of not less than 90% of the standard value of the product tag . Standard also power factor and harmonic distortion requirements do require all outdoor LED lighting power factor of not less than 0.9 , the total harmonic distortion less than 20 %.
Mexican Standard NMX standards and criteria are divided into two types of NOM , NOM standards are mandatory standards issued by the Mexican government agency , responsible for the development by the Mexican Committee for Standardization , the draft and the official text shall be published in the Official Gazette of Mexico . NMX standards are written in a non- mandatory standards issued by the agency officially recognized by the Mexican standard NMX standards only when NOM become standard reference , or reference to the relevant laws and regulations , it becomes mandatory standards. Department of Energy through the National Energy Conservation Commission issued national standards for energy efficiency in Mexico , the Mexican National Energy Conservation Standards Advisory Board is responsible for the Mexican national energy efficiency standards , implement and supervise the implementation of standards.
Here, inspection and quarantine departments to remind outdoor LED lighting manufacturers : one familiar with mandatory standards. The standard LED products for a wide ranging requirements , be sure that products meet the requirements of all the indicators . Second, strictly control product quality. As the standard of the technical indicators are high, so need to work hard in all aspects , especially for the lowest light efficiency indicators , be sure to meet its energy efficiency requirements . The third is to identify an appropriate product labeling . When Mark luminous flux and life , to be based on the actual product , must not blind identification , be sure to identify and prevent excessive mainly the result in the return. Fourth, pay close attention to industry trends of other countries , the establishment of standards and access to foreign technical trade measures channels and mechanisms .
