What is required for Amazon: a UL certificate or a report?

UL test reports are typically used by customers for listing on Amazon.com in the US. Since 2019, various Amazon marketplaces have conducted rigorous product audits, resulting in many customers' products being removed from shelves and requiring the submission of various reports.

The US Amazon requires the provision of a UL test report. Some customers may ask, "Can a UL certificate suffice?" Of course, it can; the authority of a UL certificate is stronger. Therefore, some customers propose to undergo UL certification, only to abandon the idea after hearing the quoted price.

The cost of UL certification is extremely high, often ranging from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand. This includes factory audits and certification issuance, and the process can be very lengthy, with a six-month turnaround for certification being quite good. In comparison, the advantages of a UL test report are much greater. A UL test report must be issued by an ILAC ISO 17025 laboratory and testing facility; otherwise, it is not recognized. While the UL test report may not carry the same authority as the UL certification, it is accepted by Amazon and poses no issues for customers listing products on Amazon.

　　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, with audits conducted quarterly. It is costly, time-consuming, and the factory inspections are very strict.

The UL test report is issued upon the product passing the relevant UL standard test and being deemed qualified.
