What is the Amazon UL report?
The United States is a country with very strict safety requirements. All electronic product manufacturers in the United States have required relevant safety inspections many years ago. With the continuous improvement of Amazon's strategic position in global business, overseas electronic devices continue to flow into the US market through Amazon, and the United States does not have mandatory safety inspections for overseas electronic product manufacturers. A series of electronic product fire incidents have occurred before. In response to this situation, on September 24, 2017, the relevant US departments issued a law specifically for e-commerce, requiring Amazon to be obliged to notify overseas e-commerce companies selling on Amazon. Regulation report, before submitting the UL standard test report, Amazon must order the merchant to stop selling.
At present, Lexun institutions have helped many Amazon sellers successfully cope with the crisis of product delisting. All reports are issued by ISO17025 accredited laboratories.
Some sellers inquire: What is the most serious consequence if the electrical and electronic equipment does not do the UL standard test report?
The most serious consequence of not making North American safety reports for electronic equipment is not being blocked by Amazon. Rather, it is targeted by competitors on the premise that the merchant sells well. The competitor buys the merchant’s product if the product does not have relevant standards. Safety regulations report that competitors will entrust US lawyers to send letters to Amazon, requesting to stop selling the company's products, and apply for court proceedings to destroy all of the company's products on Amazon. At this time, the merchant not only lost all its inventory, but also needed to pay the cost of the lawyer's letter and the cost of destroying the product, which may mean that the company was basically driven out of the North American market.
The seller received an email from Amazon regarding UL2089/UL60950/UL2054/UL1642:
The sale of all cellular phone chargers, and laptop computer batteries and chargers on the Amazon website must meet specified certification standards. Note that Amazon may remove your selling privileges for failing to meet these standards. To sell these products on Amazon, you must apply by submitting the following information to electronics-safetyamazon.com:
Company name
Seller/Vendor ID
Email address
Phone number
A list of ASINs you are applying to sell
A document confirming that your product was tested according to the standard listed in the following table by a laboratory that is certified to the ILAC ISstandard:
Product Certification Requirement
Laptop Battery UL 2054 or UL 1642
Cellular Phone Replacement Battery UL 2054 or UL 1642
Laptop Charger and Power Adapter UL
Cellular Phone Wall Charger UL
Cellular Phone Car Charger UL 2089
In other words, laptop batteries/mobile phone batteries must comply with UL 2054 or UL 1642 certification standards! Mobile phone chargers/power adapters must comply with UL60950-1 standards! Car chargers must comply with UL2089 standards!
About the handling of UL reports
UL certification requires testing products and auditing factories, auditing once every quarter, the cost is high for a long time.
The UL test report is a qualified test report issued after the product is selected and tested according to the corresponding UL standards.
Amazon generally requires sellers to submit documents within 14 days, and Amazon also knows the certification time and costs, so it requires a qualified report issued by a laboratory accredited by the ISO17025/ILAC ISO 17025 standard
