Thank you for the responses. I'll make sure the design team concerned with this topic clearly states the intent of any red LEDs they plan on using. Just to be certain, I'll ask my Chinese regulatory contact. Just an observation, isn't it amazing how prevalent LEDs are today? Ultrabright, ridiculously tiny, super low power, incredibly long-lived, multi-colored. My son has a yellow bathtub duckie who's head lights up with sequencing rainbow LEDs that are almost blinding!

Hello listmates, are there any restrictions on using red indicator LEDs in electronic products intended for export to China? The former employer of a colleague apparently had some sort of restriction placed on its OEMs, strictly forbidding the use of red LEDs anywhere on their products. The red LEDs were assumed to indicate extreme caution or similar state, according to the Chinese authorities (don't know the regulating body). I am not aware of any such restriction, but perhaps it has to do with specific product families. any insight will be appreciated! thank you, Chet Summers Pelco Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this transmission is legally privileged and confidential, intended only for the use of the individual(s) or entities named above.
