Amazon Electronic Watches UL4200A Test Report and GCC Certificate

The UL4200A test report and GCC certificate for button battery-poweRED electronic watches are essential safety compliance requirements for selling these products on e-commerce platforms like Amazon US.

ul4200a is a mandatory standard adopted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to enhance the safety of products containing button batteries. This standard specifically focuses on consumer products that use button or coin batteries, such as electronic watches, remote controls, children's toys, and more. The goal is to ensure these products do not pose a risk to people or the environment during regULar use.

With the increasing popularity of electronic devices and rapid advancements in technology, button batteries, known for their small size and moderate capacity, have been widely adopted across various electronic products. To prevent potential harm from button batteries, especially to protect children's safety, platforms require rigorous testing for products containing button batteries.

Manufacturers need to provide a ul4200A test report issued by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. The report should detail the product's compliance with the ul4200a standard, including evaluations of product structure, battery securing methods, and abuse tests. For products like electronic watches containing button batteries, manufacturers must ensure compliance with UL4200A standards and prepare the necessary test reports for selling on platforms like Amazon.

The GCC (General Certificate of Conformity) is a written general conformity certificate required by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (cpsia). It is issued by manufacturers and importers of general-purpose products (non-children’s products) based on reasonable testing to confirm compliance with all applicable consumer product safety rules. Manufacturers or importers must maintain test records or reasonable testing procedures for their GCC. These tests should be conducted according to applicable consumer product safety rules (e.g., CPSC and ASTM standards). For electronic watches containing button batteries, manufacturers must ensure the product undergoes appropriate testing and prepare a gcc certificate to prove compliance. These certificates may be required when selling on platforms like Amazon.

The UL4200A test report and gcc certification process are as follows:

1. Contact an ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratory (e.g., JJR Laboratory in China) and fill out the UL4200A test application form.

2. Provide product specifications, parameter information, manufacturer, and applicant details.

3. Send product samples to the testing laboratory, typically two to three samples, as required by the lab.

4. The testing laboratory conducts tests on the samples and records the data.

5. A test report is issued, and the GCC certificate is compiled.
