With the ever-growing demand for public health and safety, UV germicidal technology has become an indispensable disinfection method in household, medical, industrial and other fields. However, you may not be aware that the old national standard GB/T 19258-2012 has been officially abolished and replaced by a more stringent and scientific new standard – GB/T 19258.1-2022 Ultraviolet Radiation Sources for Germicidal Purposes - Part 1: Low-pressure Mercury Vapour Discharge Lamps! Implemented in full on May 1, 2023, this standard marks the official entry of China's UV germicidal lamp industry into a new stage of standardized and high-quality development.

The new standard is under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee on Lighting Electrical Appliances Standardization (TC224) and administered by the China National Light Industry Council. It has comprehensively optimized the core indicators of low-pressure mercury vapour discharge lamps, including germicidal performance, safety requirements and test methods.

Amid the wave of industrial transformation, Lightbest has always been in the forefront. As a leading enterprise in China's UV germicidal lamp sector, we:
