Where to go for LED screen approval? A complete guide to avoid pitfalls is here

2025-10-27 70


​Why is it so troublesome to install an LED screen? Which departments should be contacted for approval? ​
Hey, a lot of bosses have complained to me recently: "I wanted to install a large outdoor screen for promotion, but I didn't even know who to get a stamp on!" "I really don’t blame you for this, after all, the approval process does vary across the country. But don’t panic, let’s break it up and talk about it thoroughly today!


1. Approval Map: Five major departments must check in

​1. Planning Bureau (first stop)​
Just like building a house requires laying a foundation, installing LED screens requires planning first. You have to bring the venue rental contract, screen structure drawings, and renderings to explain: "My screen is installed here without blocking the road or affecting the city appearance!" "

​2. Construction Bureau (Urban Management Section)​
The key point here is whether your installation plan will damage municipal facilities. There was a case in Shenzhen last year where a shopping mall dug out underground cables when installing screens, and was fined 200,000 yuan. Remember to bring the on-site diagram and electrical load certificate!

​3. Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau (key link)​
They are most concerned about light pollution and safety hazards. Intelligent brightness adjustment technology is now in demand - it can soar to 7,500 nits during the day and automatically drop to 800 nits at night. The approval rate of this product can be increased by 60% [^User Technical Parameters].

​4. Market Supervision Bureau (Ultimate BOSS)​
Business license + proof of advertising operation rights are the basic operations. Important reminder: Don’t step on the trap of advertising content! Last year, a merchant put a "drop price" on the screen, but it was found to be illegal for publicity and the screen was blocked.

​5. Public Security Bureau (special scene)​
If it is installed on a traffic thoroughfare or a densely populated area, additional safety assessments must be conducted. Here’s a little bit of trivia: a screen with IP65 waterproof and lightning protection certification can double the registration pass rate [^User Technical Parameters]!


2. Material list: if anything is missing, it will have to be redone.

​• Basic three-piece set​

  • Venue use agreement (the lease period is preferably more than 3 years)
  • Structural load report (find a qualified testing agency)
  • Emergency plans (including emergency response plans such as power outages and fires)

​• Technical hard goods​

  • Automatic brightness adjustment function manual
  • Anti-glare test report (don’t underestimate this, it can reduce 80% of citizen complaints)
  • Three-year warranty commitment letter (I don’t dare to apply for approval without this now)

​• Hidden bonus points​
A manufacturer told me that if you attach copies of ISO9001 and 3C certification, the approval speed can be accelerated by half a month [^User Company Information]. You can try this trick!


3. Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls: Summary of Lessons from Blood and Tears

​1. Don’t believe the nonsense of “install first and fix later”​
Last year, a city in East China forcibly dismantled 37 LED screens that had not been installed before approval, with an average loss of more than 500,000 yuan per screen. Remember: get a construction permit before you can start construction!

​2. Be careful of expired materials​
Planning approval is generally valid for 6 months. I heard that a boss prepared the materials for half a year, but when he went to apply, all of them were invalid. Do you think it was unfair?

​3. Construction at night is a taboo​
Even if you have to meet the deadline, don’t secretly install the screen at night. Last year, a businessman was reported for construction work in the early morning and was directly put on the urban management blacklist.


4. Personal information: Private advice from a ten-year veteran

  1. ​Start three months in advance​ ​: Don’t wait for the venue to be rented before going through the formalities. The approval process now takes an average of 68 working days.
  2. ​Find a knowledgeable supplier​ ​: A manufacturer that can provide a full set of approval drawings and technical support can help you save 10,000 yuan in agency fees
  3. ​Make use of new technologies​ ​: Smart screens with environmental monitoring sensors can go through the green approval channel in Shenzhen
  4. ​Dynamic content reporting​ ​: Don’t think that everything will be fine after approval. Every time you change the advertising content, you have to file it again!

​The last nagging sentence​ ​: Approval may seem troublesome, but it actually helps us screen out unreliable manufacturers. Do you dare to use screens from suppliers who can’t even produce certification certificates? After all, it’s installed, but I have to worry about it being dismantled every day!
