Product Qualification Process
The DLC qualifies commercial LED luminaires, retrofit kits, linear replacement lamps, mogul screw-base (E39 /E40) replacement lamps, and four pin-base replacement lamps for CFLs for inclusion on the Solid-State Lighting QPL. Products must meet the DLC's Technical Requirements and be marketed for specific product categories. Manufacturers should provide complete model numbers for all application submissions.
Eligibility Review
Before submitting an application, it is crucial to review Product Eligibility, Technical Requirements, and any additional testing and reporting requirements for the target product categories. This ensures that the product meets all necessary criteria for qualification.
Application Evaluation
Applications are assessed based on the Technical Requirements version effective at the time of submission. Re-submitted applications are evaluated against either the original or the latest version of the Technical Requirements. The DLC reviewer determines the version for re-submissions.
Product Image Submission
Submitting product images along with the application is optional and does not incur additional fees. The Requirements for Submitting SSL Product Images provides guidelines on file formats and styles. Accepted images are displayed on the SSL QPL.
Policy Alterations
The DLC retains the right to modify program policies, including Technical Requirements. Such changes could lead to removing products from the QPL at the DLC's discretion. Applicants are advised to stay informed about any policy updates.
