Amazon US is becoming increasingly strict, and recently, many customers selling products like bathroom fixtures, showerheads, etc., have received notices of de-listing (or are unable to be shipped to areas showing CA). Customers are baffled and unsure of the reason, only knowing that Amazon requires these products to provide CEC energy efficiency certification. So, how do these products apply for CEC energy efficiency certification?

CEC Certification Application Process:

1. Initially, the applicant submits certification needs for water heads, showerheads, etc., under the CEC, and provides relevant product information.

2. Engineers determine the required standards, testing cycles, and certification costs based on product specifications.

3. Provide the applicant with a final quotation.

4. Applicant signs and submits the quotation, and pays the relevant surcharges for CEC certification, such as water heads and showerheads.

5. Applicant provides CEC certified samples and documents for water heads, showerheads, etc.

6. Arrange for sample testing of water heads, showerheads, etc., with CEC certification.

7. Provide CEC certification test reports for water heads, showerheads, etc.

8. Submit documents, test reports, and apply to the certification authority for CEC certification and product registration.

As widely known, the previous CEC energy efficiency certification requirements were primarily aimed at power charging systems.

Now, under the new regulation: CEC-2019-140-002, it is required that:

The requirement is for non-electric bathroom products, with showerheads needing to undergo CEC energy efficiency certification and registration. It mainly stipulates that bathroom products such as showerheads, washbasins, consumer kitchen water taps, and metered water must meet certain requirements. Therefore, if you need to sell these products on Amazon US, you must first obtain certification to avoid delaying your regular sales.
