USA DLC certification-东莞市鑫四方检测科技有限公司

1、 Introduction to DLC Certification in the United States

DLC (Design Lights Consort) is a joint organization composed of utility companies and regional performance agencies, which holds a high position in certifying the quality and performance of energy-efficient lighting. The goal of DLC is to promote the popularization of high-quality and energy-efficient lighting design in all commercial lighting fields. The DLC certified product catalog is used by public utility companies to promote high-performance solid-state lighting fixtures that have not yet been covered by the Energy Star standard across the United States.

For non Energy Star lighting products, the DLC certified product catalog is the practical criterion for measuring high-quality, energy-efficient lighting products. For products that currently Energy Star cannot produce, DLC certification can also be done.
