2. WHY STANDARDS???? Standards are essential for all human activity
But most people take them for granted

3. GENERAL OPINION OF PEOPLE ABOUT STANDARD
More constraints
More things to comply with
More cost
Excludes my products from other markets
Stifles innovation

4. BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS

14. NEED FOR STANDARDS ON LED
Widespread demand from all stake holders
Prospect for huge energy saving – potential mass use of LED products
Availability of wide varieties in market place vis-à-vis cost
Need to define quality characteristics
Need for quality monitoring.
Power Quality Issues

15. ADVANTAGES OF LED Green technology
Long source life (light output degrades % after 11 years of continuous operation
High lumen efficiency
Low maintenance
No moving parts
Low power consumption
Little heat; no radiated heat from light
Natural coupling for digital control
Non-insect attracting
Fast response

16. PROBLEMS FACED BY LED INDUSTRY
Some low quality product in market affecting confidence of users
Unsubstantiated and inaccurate quality claims
Lack of confidence of designers on SSL products
Inadequate information on product performance
Very high initial cost
Lack of awareness among channel members/consumers

17. COMPLEXITY OF STANDARD FORMULATION ON LED
LED technology has not yet been stabilized
Advancement taking place at breakneck pace
Reduction in Span of Product lifecycle
Any standards developed, by that time technology make it inadequate
Standard development process has to keep pace with technology development
Laboratories will have to make provision for such change

18. COMPLEXITY OF STANDARD FORMULATION ON LED
What’s the average rated lamp life for LEDs?
Do LEDs really operate for 100,000 hours?
How do we test and predict life of LED?

19. CHALLENGES IN LED STANDARDS MAKING
Life - LED has a long rated life – up to hr or more. Even with 24X7 operation, testing of led would take 5.7 years (for 50 khr)
Concept of “Useful life” introduced in the standard – depreciation up to 70% of initial lumen
An accelerated life test for 2000 hr has been introduced
Eye Safety – High-powered LEDs(multi-chip LED arrays) can cause thermal heating effect which can damage tissues in retina
