Recently, the Zhongshan Export Lighting Quality and Safety Demonstration Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "Demonstration Zone") successfully passed the acceptance of the provincial export industrial quality and safety demonstration zone, becoming the first export lighting product quality and safety demonstration zone in the province. The demonstration zone will promote the improvement of the overall quality and safety level and core competitiveness of Zhongshan's export lighting, and further promote the transformation and upgrading of Zhongshan's lighting industry. It is reported that after more than 30 years of cultivation and development, Zhongshan Lighting has formed the world's largest lighting industry cluster with an ancient town as the center, covering 11 towns in three surrounding cities, and an annual output value of over 100 billion yuan.

Demonstration area welcomes national acceptance next year

In October of this year, Zhongshan issued the "Zhongshan City Construction "China Export Industrial Products (Lighting) Quality and Safety Demonstration Zone" Implementation Plan". The demonstration zone is not a physical industrial park, but a virtual concept. The relevant person in charge of the Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that after passing the provincial inspection and acceptance, the demonstration area will welcome the national inspection and acceptance next year.

The bureau revealed that the demonstration zone has identified the first batch of 47 enterprises entering the zone, most of which are the industry's leading enterprises. Previously, Wang Hong, deputy director of the Zhongshan Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, said: “Priority will be given to enterprises with large export volumes and strong quality control capabilities. After these enterprises have been identified, they will play a role of demonstration and guidance.”

The municipal government has issued supporting policies to support the construction of the demonstration zone. The demonstration zone will increase support and provide preferential policies for exporting lighting enterprises in the zone in participating in overseas exhibitions, international certification and testing, land arrangements, personnel recruitment and training, scientific research, brand building, independent intellectual property rights, marketing, etc., and provide preferential policies to promote the region The enterprise groups in the inner demonstration zone continued to grow and develop.

Experience, policy preferences may be copied in the future

It is reported that currently 44 quality and safety demonstration zones in the country have been awarded the title, and more than 10 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province are currently building quality and safety demonstration zones, such as the motorcycle demonstration zone in Jiangmen, the home appliance demonstration zone in Shunde, and Chaozhou ceramics. Demonstration zone, Zhongshan started to investigate and plan the construction of export industrial quality and safety demonstration zone in 2012. It started early and started construction down-to-earth. The lighting industry was selected as the first quality and safety demonstration zone. Where is the mystery?

Wang Hong said that the country has basic requirements for export quality and safety demonstration zones, and the demonstration zones must form a scale effect. Therefore, they have basic requirements for export scale and proportion.

At the same time, as one of the pillar industries of Zhongshan, the lighting industry has maintained a good growth trend in recent years under the current economic downward pressure and the domestic and foreign markets are not ideal, and has made great contributions to the development of Zhongshan. . Statistics show that Zhongshan's lighting industry accounts for 70% of the domestic market's sales, and exports account for more than 50% of the international market. Zhongshan is the gathering place of my country's optoelectronic industry. The ancient town is known as the "Lighting Capital of China". The annual output value of the lighting industry is more than 100 billion yuan, and the export value is over 10 billion yuan. So choose the lighting industry.

On the other hand, Zhongshan’s lighting industry has encountered many difficulties and problems in the development process, and there are also weak links, especially small, medium and micro enterprises have encountered more difficulties. In terms of quality and safety control, they have encountered old problems. Completely overcome the dilemma of new problems. Therefore, through the construction of the export quality and safety demonstration zone, the overall quality and safety level and core competitiveness of Zhongshan's export lighting will be improved, and new breakthroughs will be found for the innovative development of Zhongshan's lighting industry. Wang Hong revealed that after exploration, the experience and policy preferences gained in the lighting export quality and safety demonstration zone may be replicated in other industry demonstration zones in the future.
