The State Supports the Development of Semiconductor Lighting Industry and Introduces Policy Measures

The State Supports the Development of Semiconductor Lighting Industry and Introduces Policy Measures To promote the healthy and orderly development of China's semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry, cultivate new economic growth points, expand consumer demand, and promote energy-saving and emission reduction. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the construction of urban and rural housing The Ministry of Supervision and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine jointly issued the "Opinions on the Development of Semiconductor Lighting Energy-saving Industry" (hereinafter referred to as "opinions").

The policies and measures to encourage the development of the semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry are focused on resolving the problems in the development of the industry and giving full play to China’s comparative advantages. The Opinions propose seven policy measures.

1. Overall planning and promotion of healthy and orderly development of industries The competent authorities should strengthen guidance on the development of semiconductor lighting energy-saving industries, strictly implement national industrial policies and project management regulations, plan scientifically, and rationally distribute them, avoid blind expansion and low-level redundant construction. Increase industrial concentration and promote regional industry specialization, specialization, and cluster development. Strengthen the demonstration of urban road lighting, landscape lighting new construction and reconstruction projects, unified planning and design, avoid blindly replacing and excessive lighting.

Second, continue to increase the intensity of semiconductor lighting technology innovation support The relevant departments should continue to increase support for scientific research and technological applications in the field of semiconductor lighting; effective integration and use of existing scientific and technological resources, strengthen the national key laboratories, national engineering laboratories Construction of the National Engineering Center. Through the introduction of digestion, absorption, and innovation, all parties involved have focused on capturing core technologies such as MOCVD equipment. Organize and implement the "Ten Cities, Ten Thousand" Project. Further implement the patent strategy, establish a patent pool, and enhance the core competitiveness of the industry.

III. Steady increase in the development level of the semiconductor lighting industry Relevant departments and local governments must increase investment, actively guide social investment, and focus on supporting a certain scale and technical strength, especially those enterprises with independent intellectual property rights, to expand production scale through technological transformation and improve Core competitiveness and industrialization level. Organize and implement the semiconductor lighting pilot demonstration project, support a number of demonstration projects through the central budget, including the construction and renovation of functional lighting such as roads, industrial and mining enterprises, commercial buildings and homes, and strengthen supervision and evaluation. Support the merger and reorganization of superior enterprises, increase industrial concentration and scale, and foster the formation of a group of leading enterprises and famous brands.

IV. Actively promote the development of semiconductor lighting standards, product testing and energy conservation certification. The relevant departments should strengthen research on basic standards, product standards, and test method standards for semiconductor lighting products, increase investment in testing equipment, and improve the national testing agencies' semiconductor lighting products. Testing and testing capabilities. As soon as possible, we will formulate technical specifications for supporting and promoting semiconductor lighting products. Research and establish a semiconductor lighting standard system, and gradually introduce product testing standards, safety standards, performance standards and energy efficiency standards, and actively participate in the formulation of international standards. Focusing on different semiconductor lighting products, we will carry out energy saving certification work in a focused and systematic way.

V. Encouraging policies to actively promote the development of semiconductor lighting energy-saving industries Relevant departments should promote the implementation of national enterprises that produce new-type energy-saving lighting products, engage in state-provided projects for import and use of self-use equipment, and import technology and accessories and spare parts in accordance with the contract. , Exemption from preferential tariffs on import tariffs within the prescribed scope. We will encourage the purchase of domestic MOCVD equipment, establish a risk compensation mechanism for the use of domestic equipment, and support the localization of key equipment. Promote the inclusion of semiconductor lighting products and key equipment in the energy conservation and environmental protection product catalog, and enjoy the corresponding incentive policies. Promote the integration of semiconductor lighting products into the list of government procurement of energy-saving products. In the areas of roads, industrial and mining enterprises, commercial buildings and households, they have chosen to promote relatively mature semiconductor lighting products, and when conditions are ripe, they will be included in the scope of financial subsidy policy support.

VI. Extensive promotion of education and personnel training for energy-saving semiconductor lighting. Various regions and relevant departments must actively promote scientific public opinion, correctly understand the advantages and disadvantages of semiconductor lighting products, invest in science, and rationally consume, and create a sound semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry. Public opinion environment. We must do a good job in cultivating talents and support higher education institutions, vocational schools, and research institutions to set up related discipline education. Guide the reasonable flow of talents and create a good environment for personnel training, introduction and mobility.

VII. Enhance regional and international exchanges and cooperation The relevant departments shall research and introduce relevant measures to accelerate exchanges and cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in the areas of standards, testing, and applications. Actively promote cooperation with the United Nations Development Program, the Global Environment Facility and other international organizations and relevant national governments in the phase-out of incandescent lamps and the acceleration of the promotion of energy-saving lamps. Develop international technology exchanges for semiconductor lighting, establish cooperation mechanisms with relevant international organizations and countries, and introduce advanced foreign technology and management experience.
