In the past several years, LED roadway lighting application in China was fast progressed, during which the big gap between LED lighting manufacturing industry and other stakeholders like consumers, designers and etc. is revealed. In view of this situation, a project was initiated to develop a standard on LED roadway lighting application to better bridge different participants of the area and guide sustainable development the industry. This standard was finally issued by the government of China in 2015 with the standard code of GB/T 31832-2015, which provides solutions for challenges we face in LED roadway lighting application and also makes regulations on interchangeability and performance of LED roadway lighting products. This paper will make a systematic introduction and technical explanation on the classification method specified by this standard.
