A Note About DLC V5.1 and V5.0 Delisting
March 30, 2022
December 2021 is when products that don’t meet the DLC’s current V5.1 requirements, which went into effect in June 2020, will start being delisted.
The DLC has extended their dates for the delisting of products that don’t meet V5.0 in recognition of the ripple effects across the global supply chain from COVID-19. Their research found that manufacturers are experiencing component shortages of integrated circuit (IC) chips needed for electronics, including LED drivers, and they adjusted dates accordingly. The new final delisting date for V5.0 products will be June 30, 2022, but the delisting process will begin in December 2021.
