In recent decades, we have printed circuit board industry in China from scratch, since the childhood, has been rapid development. Printed circuit board industry output value since 2006 to keep the yield and output value of the world's first. According to the world famous PCB market analysis agencies Prismark company in March 2012 report, global PCB production value of $54.31 billion, in 2012 China's printed circuit board output value of about $21.636 billion, accounts for about 39.8% of the world.

PCB is the state encourages the development of industry

Restrictions to PCB and block will lead to great difficulty in enterprise development.

It can be said that the production scale of China's printed circuit board industry occupies the important position in the world. But, at present we should also clearly see their own the shortage of PCB enterprise 90% for small and medium-sized enterprises in China, compared with foreign enterprise scale is not big enough, the added value of products is not high enough, technology and management level and the gap. At present is the PCB enterprises to speed up the development and promotion of the "golden age" of self. On April 25, 2012, the national development and reform commission issued by the industrial structure adjustment guidance catalogue, will be included in the printed circuit board manufacturing again to encourage the development of the industry. Now, however, printed circuit board in our country enterprise in developing have met difficulties and embarrassment.

Along with the further deepening of the country's environmental protection work, the government department of environmental protection in energy conservation and emissions reduction, structural adjustment, promote the construction of ecological civilization has done a lot of trial and innovation work, correctly handle the relationship between economic development and environmental protection, interdependence, mutual promotion, has obtained the obvious good grades, at the same time, it has accumulated rich experience in environmental protection work. Shenzhen rising in recent years, for example, municipal pipe network construction, increase the construction of the wetland park, water treatment plants and so on many measures, make a few within the scope of shenzhen river by dark and smelly into west, blue water, close "dragon boat racing activities" for many years and therefore back up. And the economic development of shenzhen are not so affected.

However, in some parts of the government environmental protection department practice we do not agree, because they mistakenly in environmental work everyday is the same as the printed circuit board industry and electroplating industry of high pollution industry, its limitations and block, mobilize the PCB enterprises out of so-and-so area, Banks also think the risk is too big and refused to lend. These measures has resulted in printed circuit board companies were forced to move away from their familiar customers, far removed from our own supplier cooperation for many years, the enterprise development has met great difficulties.

Science set emissions standards

With the embedded component technology, the application of the new technology such as electronics, printing, PCB industry will be more environmentally friendly.

So, can you find a road of the healthy development of China's printed circuit board industry? This needs government, society and enterprise projects, ideas. We in where, the author talk about their own views.

First of all, the authorities need to review the printed circuit board industry environmental protection standard of whether is in order.

Past due to the printed circuit board plating process in the technological process, so environmental protection departments will be printed circuit board in electroplating industry and enterprise management. In fact, electroplating process in printed circuit board production accounts for only a small part, two industry there is a big difference. In our country national economy industry classification (GB/T4754-2011) in the category "manufacturing" 30 kinds of printed circuit board belongs to the computer, communications, and other electronic equipment manufacturing industry. In 2008, set by the environmental protection organization of the clean production standards - printed circuit board manufacturing "(HJ450-2008) standard has been released, in February 1, 2009 formally implemented. In the standard explicitly pointed out that, since the date of implementation of this standard, the clean production standards - plating industry "(HJ/T314-2006) involved in the relevant index to the printed circuit board class" requirements will be replaced. So directly in electroplating industry emissions standards control PCB enterprise is not appropriate, not conducive to the healthy development of the industry.

For emissions standards need to embody the principle of scientific development. For the control of emissions factor is lower, the better? On the surface is for sure, but after careful analysis, we found that it doesn't have to be. We limit of heavy metal pollution, for example, the highest emission limit value of copper ion was 0.3 mg/l, nickel ion is 0.1 mg/l, compared with many developed countries emissions standards, these are lower than their drinking water standards a lot (China national standard copper content in drinking water is 1.0 mg/l). Enterprises in order to amount to mark, you must add more potions, as a result, although the control of heavy metal ion, but the enterprise operating costs up, discharge of the salt in the water content is increased, and another new pollution. Simple and strict reduction factor concentration, therefore, does not necessarily produce the ideal economic and social benefits, should give comprehensive considerations in these aspects, can effectively promote the healthy development of the industry.

Second, the industry association should actively coordinate with relevant government departments and professional organizations formulate suitable for the printed circuit board industry standards for pollutants discharge. Printed circuit board industry has a unique production technology, professional institutions should based on the industry's production process in detail, combined with the current environmental protection processing technology development, develop the appropriate standards for pollutants discharge. In this way, can make environmental protection effect, and can make the printed circuit board industry get rapid development. With the progress of environmental protection technology and printed circuit technology, constantly enhance the pollutants emission control target, make our country's environmental protection cause in stages orderly move forward. Embedded components, for example, technology, digital ink-jet printing printing electronic technology, the production wastewater biochemical treatment technology such as the application of new technology, can make the PCB industry more environmentally friendly.

China's printed circuit industry association has cooperate with relevant government departments and professional organizations in doing this work. In 2009, the complete set for the industrial pollutants emission standards - electronic components and printed circuit board, the examination and approval of the national standard draft. Now, again after evaluation, plan incorporating electronic industry five standards for the electronic industrial pollutants emission standards - special electronic materials, electronic components and printed circuit board, semiconductor devices, electric vacuum and flat display device, electronic terminal products national standards. Our expectations as soon as possible the standard come on stage, can effectively guide the printed circuit board and the whole electronics industry pollutant control work.

Finally, we appeal to PCB enterprises to strengthen self-discipline and requirement, enhance corporate social responsibility, the environmental protection cause in the first place. Enterprise only seriously according to the standard operation, increased the investment in environmental protection enterprise, actively introduce new technology and advanced technology, strengthen management, establish a new image in front of the public, to get more development opportunities, to get more support by the government and the society.

So by that time, China's PCB industry is really on the path of a healthy development.

Let the PCB industry chain on national brand management era

Today, the development of Chinese PCB has not ullage, no shortage of number, more do not lack proportion. Number of PCB companies in China, a couple of thousand, is the largest; Production, production area of the world's highest number of China; Proportion, China PCB accounted for 40% of the world, the world's largest; Output, China PCB production value 152 billion yuan (2011), has for many years in the world.

China PCB, what need? Lack of high value-added, PCB, into the world's highest PCB enterprises, lack of enterprise brand has world influence.

In addition, China also lacks a complete PCB industry chain. Our dedicated equipment, instruments, specialty chemicals and materials, copper clad material enterprises, in the product varieties, performance parameters, precision, reliability, stability and world famous products brand and big gap. Give some cases, such as laser drilling, laser cutting, laser imaging equipment, characters, resistance welding, spray line printing machine, biaxial drone, plating (nickel, gold, silver, tin, OSP, etc.) thickness gauge, thermal resistance tester, etc., and photosensitive dry film, film negative, photosensitive solder resist ink, all kinds of performance chemicals additives batch with bulk materials, special copper clad plate performance, these devices/instruments and materials are also failed to meet the needs of the development of PCB technology, PCB companies still think imported foreign brands to use.

At the third national brand campaign is for the sake of our entire PCB industry and its industrial chain to realize localization and national brand bigger and stronger. China's economic rise, must be supported by the national brands; National brand image, we can not live without national brands; A powerful PCB without strong national enterprises in China.

We see that the global competitive enterprises have their own brands. To build national core competitiveness depends on brand, good brand image is the enterprise precious tangible assets. National brand enterprise represents the industry elite, the pride of the nation, is sure of the enterprises and products, is the honor and the symbol of enterprise.

We are committed to the establishment of national brands and building, is to realize our PCB industry strong, keep pace with the world first-class enterprise, is to build our whole PCB industry chain powerful revival effective ways and methods of dreams.

We are Chinese, to China national excellent enterprise and brand should be respected, let us with air, air support, first choose product of brand of a nation, let the PCB industry chain from product management stage on the era of brand management.

We have on the road, the road is very long, we believe that our destination one day can achieve, PCB national enterprises in China will be among the world advanced one.
