To improve the quality of lighting products made in China and ensure compliance with local product safety regulations in various countries, it is recommended to strengthen multiple aspects such as enhancing raw material and accessory management, improving quality monitoring during the production process, strengthening research on product safety regulations in overseas countries, and establishing a sound recall warning mechanism,extending quality control from the production end to the entire chain of design, supply chain, and after-sales service, so as to achieve the leap from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing" in global competition.
