Subject: DLC revises Product Family Grouping Fee
Importance: High
Dear LED Commercial Luminaire Manufacturer,
As of today, March 12, 2012, the DesignLights(tm) Consortium revises its fee for Product Family Member luminaires to $25 each from $20.
We have discovered that the current fee level does not fully cover our cost of analysis. With the increase in Product Family Grouping applications, this has become a problem, so we are making this change immediately. For applications which we have in hand as of today, the old fee ($20 each) will still apply.
DLC’s product family grouping application fee structure is stated as follows:
For a product family, the application fee shall be:
* $500 per independent lab test required under the product group application procedure, plus
* $20 per product family member listed through self-reported in-house testing.
The new statement of fee structure (updated on the website) will read this way:
For a product family, the application fee shall be:
* $500 per independent lab test required under the product group application procedure, plus
* $25 per product family member listed through self-reported in-house testing.
We thank you in advance for your patience, cooperation and support.
