DLC certification in USA

Date of issue:2020-05-13

On June 1, 2018, DLC officially released the technical requirements of network lighting control system (NLC) V3.0, nlcv3.0 is applicable to the network lighting control system of commercial or industrial buildings, roads or external environment. The technical requirements of the control system mainly include the influence of sensors, network interface and controller on the lighting changes of lamps and lanterns.
 
 
 
The lamp itself is not included. NLC V3.0 adds annual plan requirements for DC / POE control system, field control, energy monitoring and network security implementation. The changes are as follows:
 
1. Additional requirements:
 
Information available to customers: the manufacturer's written material must specify the capabilities of the system and instructions on how to configure and use these properties. This information must be posted on the website or displayed on the product packaging. DLC has the right to accept, reject and require the manufacturer to modify these materials.
 
 
 
The materials provided to DLC only meet the requirements of DLC verification, and DLC will not release them to the public.
 
The following capabilities can be exempted from table 1 and table 2:
 
Continuous dimming.
 
Individual addressability.
 
Luminaire level lighting control (lllc, integrated).
 
Networking
 
Startup and configuration party
 
Type of user interface
 
 
 
2. Energy consumption monitoring plan:
 
NLC v4.0 will be released on June 1, 2019. It is required to have energy consumption monitoring function, and the manufacturer must report the monitoring method, direct measurement or calculation. For direct measurement, the accuracy of the measurement should be explained.
 
NLC V5.0 will be released on June 1, 2020. If there is no corresponding ANSI standard to explain the accuracy of the calculation method, the energy consumption monitoring method obtained by the calculation method will not be accepted. Only the direct measurement method is accepted, and the manufacturer needs to report the measurement accuracy by himself.
 
Network security plan:
 
NLC V3.0 must report that network security meets the following standards:
 
ANSI UL2900-1:
 
The product meets ANSI ul2900-1
 
UL or ETL certificate.
 
From UL approved laboratory
 
IEC 62443
 
Certificate from isasecure
 
ISO 27000
 
NIST LOT Cybersecurity Framework
 
NLC v4.0 will be released on June 1, 2019, and compliance with network security standards must be reported.
 
The compliance requirements of NLC V5.0 to the network security standards listed in v4.0 must be reported on June 1, 2020.
 
 
 
3. The required capabilities and reporting requirements of the system are as follows:
