Amazon, as a cross-border e-commerce platform for foreign trade, is welcomed by merchants at home and abroad. But what is the reason that Amazon attaches such importance to product safety certification (UL certification)? Because substandard electrical products can easily cause fires, endangering people's lives and property safety; there have been similar cases in the past! The UL standard is also the safety testing standard in America! Therefore, out of consideration for safety, Amazon has strengthened the control over electrical and electronic products with electricity, and many products have been removed from the shelves, which is understandable! So, what exactly is the Amazon UL report—a kind of 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 required relevant safety regulations testing. 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 regulations testing for overseas electronic product manufacturers. Following a series of electronic product fire incidents, on September 24, 2017, U.S. authorities issued a specific law targeting e-commerce, mandating that Amazon notify foreign e-commerce sellers on its platform to provide relevant safety reports. Amazon must order sellers to halt sales if they have not submitted a UL standard testing report. Moreover, the testing report must be a qualified one issued by a laboratory recognized under ISO 17025/ILAC ISO 17025 standards.

　　What is the UL certification?

UL certification is a voluntary safety certification in the U.S., requiring product testing and factory audits, including four quarterly factory inspections and one annual audit per year, plus the cost for the UL file number. The expenses are high and the process is time-consuming, making it difficult for many small and medium-sized traders and factories to afford the high certification testing fees and subsequent maintenance costs.

　　What is the Amazon UL report?

Amazon requires all electronic and electrical products to be strictly tested according to UL standards, with a valid report issued by an ISO 17025/ILAC ISO 17025 laboratory. No factory inspection is needed, the cost is relatively low, and the turnaround time is fast.
