Dual Applications

Who This is For

This path applies when a system is already qualified in one scope (for example, Indoor) and you want to add the complementary scope (Outdoor). It is not for qualifying a brand-new system.

Before You Start

• Your system must first be qualified and published on the NLC QPL under its initial scope. The secondary application can only be submitted once that primary listing is live.
• Confirm your system meets the “Required” capabilities for the second scope (see scope requirements below).

How to Submit a Dual Qualification

1. Complete and submit a New OEM application for the first listing (e.g., Indoor scope), following the standard qualification process.
2. Once the system is published on the NLC QPL, begin the secondary application.
3. Select New OEM as the application type, then choose “Yes, this is a new qualification for an existing system.”
4. From the dropdown, select the system you want to qualify for the second scope.
5. Complete the scope-specific questionnaire and submit.

What's Streamlined

• The questionnaire is shorter and focused on scope-specific questions. 
• The system presentation and customer interview are waived for the second listing. 

Scope Requirements

Beyond the Indoor “Required” capabilities, Scheduling is a Required capability to qualify a system as Outdoor. Review the current NLC Technical Requirements for the full list of Required capabilities by scope before applying. 

A Note on Technical Requirements Versions

V5.2 updates apply to the Indoor scope only. When you add an Outdoor scope to a system already qualified as V5.2 Indoor, the Outdoor listing is qualified under V5.0. Your Indoor and Outdoor listings for the same system may therefore reference different Technical Requirements versions.

Fees

For the secondary qualification, the fee is $5500. Please refer to the Revision Schedule and Listing Fees for details.
