The launch of eight national standards for intelligent lighting
With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, intelligent lighting systems have gradually become an essential component of smart cities, smart homes, and other fields. However, lighting devices from different manufacturers may use different communication protocols and connection methods. This guiding technical document aims to provide information and guidance on the operation of lighting systems and their interconnection with other systems. It will also outline various connection solutions used in lighting systems, including topology, communication protocols, and related embedded functions. The goal is to provide lighting companies with a relatively comprehensive guiding technical document.
Recently, according to the "Notice from the National Standardization Management Committee on the Issuance of the First Batch of Recommended National Standards for 2025 and Related Foreign Language Versions of Standards" (GB/T 2025-3), the Shenzhen Lighting and Display Engineering Industry Association plans to organize relevant members of the industrial chain to participate in drafting this standard.
1. Connectivity of Lighting Systems
Plan Number: 20250171-Z-607 (Draft)
With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, intelligent lighting systems have gradually become an essential part of smart cities, smart homes, and other fields. Lighting devices from different manufacturers may use different communication protocols and connection methods. This guiding technical document aims to provide information and guidance on the operation of lighting systems and their interconnection with other systems. It will also outline various connection solutions used in lighting systems, including topology, communication protocols, and related embedded functions. The goal is to provide lighting companies with a relatively comprehensive guiding technical document.
2. Digital Addressable Lighting Interface Series Standards
The five standards mentioned above are part of the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) series of standard projects for national standards. The DALI technology is a wired communication protocol specifically designed for the lighting industry, enabling precise control and management of lighting devices. The formulation and revision of these standards will help technical personnel in manufacturing companies better understand the relevant technical provisions. By aligning with internationally recognized technical requirements, these standards will further promote international trade cooperation, enhance the competitiveness and innovation capabilities of enterprises.
3. Measurement of Power Consumption in Non-Primary Function Modes of Lighting Equipment
Plan Number: 20250169-T-607 (Revision)
(Replacement of GB/T 39018-2020)
GB/T 39018 applies to smart lighting equipment powered by a supply voltage not exceeding 1500V DC or 1000V AC 50/60Hz. It specifies the measurement methods for power consumption in non-primary function modes of lighting devices, providing testing methodology guidance for performance standards of control devices, luminaires, and other products. This revision aims to offer better testing and calculation methods for non-primary function power consumption during product design and development, enhancing the overall energy efficiency of products. It also meets the market and user demand for high-efficiency energy-saving products and supports the development of green lighting.
4. Evaluation of Electromagnetic Radiation from Lighting Equipment on the Human Body
Plan Number: 20250166-T-607 (Revision)
(Replacement of GB/T 31275-2020)
GB/T 31275 provides appropriate evaluation methods, standardized working conditions, and measurement distances for determining the electromagnetic field around lighting equipment. This standard allows for the assessment of potential harm from electromagnetic radiation emitted by lighting devices on human tissues, while standardizing measurement methods and evaluation indicators to ensure that the electromagnetic radiation levels from lighting equipment are within safe limits. This revision is based on updates to the corresponding international standards, and the domestic standards should be adjusted accordingly to enhance the adaptability and competitiveness of Chinese lighting equipment in the international market.
