Where should I go to apply for the installation approval for outdoor LED display?

2025-06-23 178

Have you ever encountered this situation? I spent a lot of money to buy a large outdoor LED screen, but the urban management came to my door and said that there was no approval document and it must be removed? Last year, a boss who opened a shopping mall complained to me that the P5 display he bought was fined 50,000 yuan less than a week after installing it because of incomplete procedures. Today we will make it clear where to go to the deadly outdoor LED screen approval document.


1. Understand what is an outdoor LED screen approval document

To put it bluntly, it's just​The government has given you the installation license​​, just like opening a store requires a business license. Last year, there was a case in Shanghai where a chain supermarket installed a 200㎡ display screen on the roof. As a result, because there was no approval document, not only did they have to disassemble the screen, but they also had to pay a fine of 5,000 yuan a day.
​Three situations that must be handled​​:

户外LED显示屏安装批文到底该去哪里办理?
  1. Installed on the facade of the building (such as the exterior wall of the shopping mall)
  2. Column screen with a height of more than 3 meters
  3. The total area exceeds 10 square meters

A friend who opened a gym suffered a loss. He thought he would not need approval when he placed it at his doorstep. As a result, because the screen faced the road, it was identified as a display device in the public area. It took two months to complete the procedures.


2. Three official channels for checking and approval documents

  1. ​Government Service Center Hall​​: It is safest to submit all materials on site, like Shenzhen, you can print progress on the self-service machine
  2. ​Urban Administration Official Website​​: Now 80% of cities across the country have online declaration portals, but you should pay attention to distinguishing phishing websites
  3. ​Government Service APP​​: For example, if you search for "Outdoor Electronic Display Equipment" in "Suishenban", you can find the processing flow chart

Last month, I helped a hot pot restaurant owner check and approved the documents and found that the application process in their district had been changed to "online pre-examination + on-site verification", which was half a month faster than before. However, be aware that the application system in each city may look different, so don’t click on the wrong column.


3. Prepare materials and do not miss items

I've compiled a must-have list:

  • Copy of the site property certificate (the rental contract must be provided)
  • Display technical parameter table (​​Focus on brightness adjustment function and protection level​)
  • Installation renderings (to standardize the height from the ground and viewing distance)
  • Light pollution detection report (this needs to be done by a third-party agency)

A customer who runs a car 4S store fell into technical parameters. The outdoor brightness of the screen he bought was only fixed at 5,000 nit, but he was complained of light pollution at night. Now the new regulations require automatic dimming, and models such as 4000-7500nit intelligent adjustment are easy to pass the review.


4. Guide to avoid pits during processing procedures

  1. ​Prepare three months in advance​​: It takes an average of 45 working days from submitting to obtaining a certificate.
  2. Avoid sensitive areas​: The school hospital is basically not approved within 300 meters.
  3. ​Note the screen size​​: Additional safety assessment should be done for those with more than 50㎡

Last year, a bar installed LED screens on the commercial street, but it was stuck for three months because it was too close to the subway entrance. Later, it was changed to a smaller size and made into a curved screen before it passed the approval. Now some manufacturers can provide​Pre-approval consulting services​, help you check the points before buying the screen, which can save a lot of trouble.


5. These technical indicators affect approval

  1. ​Refresh rate ≥1920Hz​​: Prevent scanning lines from occurring during shooting
  2. ​Protection level IP65​: Coping with rainy days and dust
  3. ​Fault rate is less than 0.01%​: Avoid large-scale black screen

The most outrageous case I have ever seen is that the screen used in a real estate project will be lost in rainy days, and the screen is required to be installed during approval. Nowadays, reliable manufacturers will do it72 hours continuous aging test​, this kind of screen is basically approved once.


6. Common misunderstandings

× I thought it would be necessary to install it on the roof of my own building without approval
× Save time when looking for scalpers (last year Guangzhou arrested the forgery approval documents)
× Don’t look at the parameters when buying the screen, and then modify it after approval.

A hotel owner bought a second-hand screen with a cheap picture, but he couldn't get the approval document because his brightness exceeded the standard, so he could only store it as a stock. Now many places implement​Electronic approval QR code​​, you can check the authenticity by scanning the code, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to make small moves.


7. Personal opinion time

To be honest, it is really troublesome to apply for approval documents now, but from another perspective, this is helping us screen out unreliable manufacturers. Like that can provide​Full process technical support​​manufacturers can handle everything from installation plan to approval materials. Recently I have noticed that some places have begun to pilot "commitment approval". Those who meet the conditions can install the screen first and then make up the procedures. This is good news for businesses that are eager to open their businesses.

If you are having a headache about approval, remember three points: it is better to prepare more materials than less, the technical parameters must be the latest national standards, and the installation points must be checked and planned in advance. After understanding these things, keep them safe and avoid detours.
