Because of the rapid increase in demand for LED products in the domestic market, the Brazilian Committee of Electricity, Electronics, Telecommunications and lighting (COBEI), in partnership with the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) and the Brazilian Association of Lighting (Abilux ), initiated work on translation of international standards for LEDs in order to publish a national standard by the end of 2010.
The standard, which will include security requirements and performance standards will be based on IECs 61347-2-13 62 384 and, in the preparation of the Study - CE 03:3401 - Electric Lamps, which includes a Working Group that is developing evaluation criteria and analysis of technical and legal aspects of the LEDs in parallel to specialists.
According to the chief secretary of ABNT 2003 EC, Vicente Cattacini, meetings of the EC are now going to define the procedure for developing the standard, but the Group is still waiting for the translated texts. "The work will begin based on these two standards that are most important, and is forecast to text translation is finished in two months," he says.
