I. Introduction to Certification

As Amazon's strategic position in the global business continues to rise, all electrically charged products listed on Amazon require relevant UL reports and test reports issued by laboratories with ISO 17025 qualifications to be sold normally and have links restored. If the products purchased by competitors or customers do not have relevant safety regulations reports, the competitors or customers will entrust American lawyers to send letters to Amazon, demanding that the company stop selling its products and apply for court procedures to destroy all of its products on Amazon. This may mean that the company is basically driven out of the North American market. Many sellers have reported receiving relevant email notifications, and their products have also been suspended from sales and their listings removed due to the inability to provide UL test reports within the stipulated time.

The difference between UL certification and UL test reports

UL certification: A voluntary certification that requires product testing and factory audits. Audits are conducted once every quarter, which is costly, time-consuming, and the factory audits are very strict.

UL test report: After the product is tested in accordance with the corresponding UL standards and passes, a qualified test report will be issued. Low cost, short cycle, and no need for factory inspection. It can be used for Amazon review, but is invalid for customs clearance.
