The U.S. is a country with stringent safety requirements, and all electronic product manufacturers within the U.S. have long required relevant safety certifications. As Amazon's strategic position in global commerce continues to rise, electronic devices from overseas are flooding into the U.S. market through Amazon. However, there is no mandatory safety certification requirement for overseas electronic product manufacturers in the U.S.
A series of electronic product fire incidents occurred previously. In response, on September 24, 217, U.S. authorities issued a specific law targeting e-commerce. Amazon is obligated to notify foreign e-commerce sellers on its platform to provide relevant safety regulations reports. Amazon must order sellers to halt sales until they submit a UL standard test report. Additionally, the test report must be a qualified one issued by a laboratory recognized under the ISO17025/ILAC ISO1705 standards.
What is the difference between a UL test report and a UL certification?
UL certification is a voluntary certification that requires product testing and factory audits, conducted quarterly. It is costly and time-consuming, and the factory audits are extremely rigorous.
The UL test report is issued after the product has passed testing according to the applicable UL standards and is deemed qualified.
2. Common UL standards and testing requirements on Amazon?
Power Adapter UL60950-1 Test Report
UL60950-1 is a North American safety standard for IT power sources, primarily addressing requirements for temperature rise, voltage withstand, insulation, etc. Different products and regions have different safety standards.
Battery Cell UL 1642 Test Report
The primary test items for UL 1642 include room temperature short-circuit testing, 55-degree short-circuit testing, overcharge testing, crush testing, heavy impact testing, mechanical shock testing, vibration testing, thermal chamber testing, temperature shock testing, altitude simulation testing, and ejection testing.
How much does a UL test report cost?
Due to varying standards and testing requirements for different products, there may be some discrepancies in costs. After the engineer evaluates your product, we will provide you with a quote.
4. What is the worst consequence if electronic appliances do not undergo UL standard testing reports?
The most severe consequence of not having a North American safety compliance report for electronic devices is not being blocked from Amazon's list, but rather being targeted by competitors even when the seller is doing well. Competitors may purchase the seller's products and, if there is no safety compliance report with relevant standards, they can hire a U.S. lawyer to send a letter to Amazon demanding the cessation of sales for the company's products and initiate legal proceedings to destroy all of the company's products on Amazon. At this point, the seller not only loses all inventory but also incurs the costs of lawyer's letters and product destruction, which could mean the company is virtually expelled from the North American market. How should a U.S. Amazon UL report be handled?
