Amazon, as a cross-border e-commerce platform for foreign trade, is welcomed by merchants at home and abroad. But what is the reason for Amazon's great emphasis on product safety certification (UL certification)? Because substandard electrical products can easily cause fires, threatening public life and property safety; similar cases have occurred before! The UL standard is also the safety testing standard in the Americas! Therefore, considering safety, Amazon has strengthened the control over electrical and electronic products with electricity, resulting in many products being removed from the shelves. This is only natural! So, what exactly is the Amazon UL report—a certification?

　　Firstly, we need to differentiate between UL certification and a UL report:

The United States is a country with stringent safety requirements, and all electronic product manufacturers within the U.S. have long been required to undergo relevant safety certification tests. As Amazon's strategic position in global commerce continues to rise, electronic devices from overseas keep flooding into the U.S. market through Amazon. There is no mandatory safety certification testing for overseas electronic product manufacturers in the U.S. A series of electronic product fire incidents occurred previously, in response to which, on September 24, 2017, U.S. authorities issued a special law for e-commerce, mandating that Amazon has the obligation to notify overseas e-commerce sellers on the Amazon platform to provide relevant safety certification reports. Amazon must order sellers to stop selling until they submit testing reports with the UL standard. Additionally, the testing reports must be issued by an accredited laboratory meeting the ISO 17025/ILAC ISO 17025 standard. What does the U.S. Amazon UL report mainly cover?

　　What is the UL certification, then?

UL certification is a voluntary safety certification in the U.S., requiring product testing and factory audits. This includes four quarterly factory inspections and one annual audit per year, along with the cost of the UL file number, making it expensive and time-consuming. Many small and medium-sized traders and factories find it difficult to afford the high certification testing fees and subsequent maintenance costs.

　　What is the Amazon UL report?

All electronic and electrical products on the Amazon platform must be strictly tested in accordance with the UL standards, accompanied by a certificate of compliance issued by an ISO 17025/ILAC ISO 17025 laboratory. No factory audit is required, the cost is relatively low, and the turnaround time is fast.
