Update time : 2024-06-18

Recently, Amazon released a new announcement titled "New Requirements for Consumer Goods Containing Button Cells or Coin Batteries". The announcement outlines the GCC certification compliance requirements for products containing button batteries in the US. According to the new regulations, all sellers of consumer goods that include button cells or coin batteries must provide proof of UL4200A certification and list a general compliance certificate (GCC) that meets the UL4200A standard. Failure to provide valid compliance documents will result in the prohibition of displaying the respective products.

 

Affected Products

These include flat, round, single-cell button batteries and coin batteries with a diameter typically ranging from 5 to 25 mm and a height between 1 to 6 mm.

 

Consumer goods containing button cells or coin batteries include, but are not limited to: calculators, cameras, flameless candles, flashing apparel, footwear, holiday decorations, keychains, flashlights, musical greeting cards, remote controls, and clocks.
