Japanese firms to set standards for LED lighting

Nichia, Toyoda and Matsushita are working on LED lighting standards with Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Japan-based LED manufacturers Nichia, Toyoda Gosei and Matushita Electric Works are working with the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to draw up a common set of standards for LED-based lighting equipment.

According to Japan’s Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper, the consortium will finalize the standards within the next year. The Japanese companies are hoping to take the initiative in setting global standards, it reports.

The report says that the LED manufacturers are planning to establish a standardization organization this spring. Once this group is set up, it will invite Toshiba, Matsushita and other LED manufacturers to join the standardization process.

It is thought that as many as 100 companies globally will become involved in drawing up the standard.
