Transition Information
Questions
Testing Laboratory Requirements Effective as of October 22, 2013
Changes to ISTMT and LM-80 requirements
Adoption of Interim Lab Accreditation Policy released

Grace period through January 1, 2014
DLC will accept testing from laboratories meeting either
the new or previous requirements
As of January 1, 2014, DLC will only accept testing from
laboratories meeting new requirements based on the date
testing is conducted
Effective October 22, 2013
In-situ
Temperature
Measurement
Test
(ISTMT)
DLC will accept ISTMT results from laboratories meeting at least one of
the following requirements:
Approved by OSHA as a National Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
Approved Through an OSHA NRTL data acceptance program or OSHA
Satellite Notification and Acceptance Program (SNAP).
Accredited for ANSI/UL 1598 or CSA C22.2 No. 250.0-08, including Sections
19.7, 19.10-16, by an accreditation organization that is an ILAC-MRA
Signatory.
LM-79
DLC will accept LM-79 results from laboratories listed in the DOE LED
Lighting Facts® Approved Testing Laboratories List under LM-79 sections
9, 10, and 12. Testing must be conducted within the accreditation
effective and expiration dates detailed for a given laboratory.
LM-80
DLC will accept LM-80 results from laboratories listed as EPA-Recognized Laboratories for LM-80.
Note: DLC refers to ENERGY STAR Program Guidance Regarding LED Package, LED Array and
LED Module Lumen Maintenance Performance Data Supporting Qualification of Lighting
Products when determining applicability of LM-80 data for a submitted product.
Testing Laboratory Requirements
Revision Process Overview Need to evaluate policy identified at DLC
Stakeholder Meeting October 2012
Interim LM-79 policy adopted December 17, 2012
Initial review of policy January – June 2013
1st Draft of revised requirements released July 19,
2013
Discussion at 2013 Stakeholder Meeting
Industry comment period through August 8
2nd Draft of revised requirements released
September 27, 2013
Industry comment period through October 4
Previous Requirements Review Starting Point
In-situ
Temperature
Measurement
Test
(ISTMT)
Similar to ENERGY STAR requirements from before September 30, 2010,
DLC will accept ISTMT results from laboratories:
Approved by OSHA as a National Recognized Testing Laboratory
(NRTLs).
Accredited by NVLAP for the LM-79-08 test procedure.
Recognized through UL’s Data Acceptance Program. (Referenced in
the Manufacturer’s Guide pg. 7)
LM-79
Testing must be conducted at a laboratory listed in the U.S. Department
of Energy’s (DOE) LED Lighting Facts® Approved Testing Laboratories List
under LM-79 sections 9, 10, and 12. Testing must be conducted within
the accreditation effective and expiration dates detailed for a given
laboratory.
LM-80 DLC will accept LED package in-house testing from the LED
package/array/module manufacturer.
Initial Revision Process Needs
Update requirements to reflect industry development
Ensure impartial requirements
Guiding Principles
Stakeholder Needs Data Integrity
Adequate Access to Testing Services
Industry Consistency
Process
Research and Discussion
Industry input
Review Feedback and
Revise
Initial Revisions: Announced July 19, 2013 ISTMT
Derived from temperature measurement sections of safety
standards.
Proposal: laboratories approved by OSHA as NRTLs,
including OSHA NRTL data acceptance programs
LM-79
Industry consensus that laboratory proficiency testing is
necessary
LED Lighting Facts laboratory requirements most viable
option
LM-80
Number of accredited laboratories has grown
EPA-Recognized Laboratories for LM-80 most viable option
July 19 Proposal
In-situ
Temperature
Measurement
Test
(ISTMT)
Approved by OSHA as a National Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL).
Accredited by NVLAP for the LM-79-08 test procedure.
Approved through an OSHA NRTL data acceptance program
or OSHA Satellite Notification and Acceptance Program
(SNAP).
LM-79
DLC will accept LM-79 results from laboratories listed in the DOE
LED Lighting Facts® Approved Testing Laboratories List under LM-
79 sections 9, 10, and 12. Testing must be conducted within the
accreditation effective and expiration dates detailed for a given
laboratory.
LM-80
DLC will accept LM-80 results from laboratories listed as EPA-
Recognized Laboratories for LM-80.
Note: DLC refers to ENERGY STAR Program Guidance Regarding LED
Package, LED Array and LED Module Lumen Maintenance Performance
Data Supporting Qualification of Lighting Products when determining
applicability of LM-80 data for a submitted product.
July 19 Proposal Feedback
LM-79
Supportive of proposed changes as first step
LM-80
Supportive of proposed changes
ISTMT
Supportive of expansion of DAP by and OSHA NRTL
Not supportive of LM-79 accreditation as sufficient
Suggestions to include SCC certification labs, and labs
accredited to SSL Thermal Testing (NVLAP, etc.)
Stakeholders indicated need for proficiency and
verification testing.
Revisions Following Feedback
Focus on ISTMT requirements
Clarified labs must meet one of three ISTMT options
Evaluated alternatives to NVLAP accreditation for
LM-79 test procedure
Accreditation to standards with temperature
measurements that are most relevant to ISTMT
Proposed timeline for transition to new requirements
