DLC certification system
Outline for DLC certification system
DLC(DesignLights™Consortium) is a program carried out by NIST: National Institute of Standards and Technology. System assure high quality of light system and high function through certain test. It is Energy Rebate program in U.S. like Energy Star. To save energy in Northern America it has similar charateristics with high efficiency certification system in our country. Currently 1800 products produced by about 250 manufacturer are registered and managed.
For export in Northern America, with NRTL certification, it is one of essential certification and through Lighting Fact Program running by National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and U.S Department of Energy (DOE), test can only be conducted at officially registered test facility.
