On the Amazon platform, compliance is not just a basic obligation for sellers—it is also a powerful tool to enhance your store's competitiveness. This article provides an in-depth explanation of Amazon's compliance requirements, including the significance of CPC Certification and ISO 17025 testing reports, helping you easily navigate the platform’s compliance challenges.
When selling products on Amazon, you may be required to provide:
- Company name and seller ID
- Contact information (email and phone number)
- Product and packaging images
- Product testing reports that comply with relevant regulations
- Compliance certificates such as CPC, GCC, or DOC
- Test reports issued by ISO 17025 accredited laboratories
These requirements ensure that your products meet local regulations and offer a safe shopping experience for consumers.
CPC stands for Children’s Product Certificate. It is a mandatory certification for products intended for children aged 12 and under. The CPC is based on testing results from laboratories recognized by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and certifies that the product meets all applicable safety standards.
Common product categories requiring CPC certification include:
- Toys
- Children's clothing
- Car seats
- Strollers and bicycles
Why is CPC certification important?
Without a valid CPC certificate, products risk being removed from Amazon. Sellers targeting the U.S. market must ensure that their products hold this certificate.
ISO 17025 is the international standard for laboratory accreditation. Test reports issued by ISO 17025 accredited labs are widely recognized for their authority and reliability.
For Amazon sellers, ISO 17025 reports offer several advantages:
- Increased credibility of product testing reports
- Assurance of product quality compliance
- Higher success rates in product listing approval and enhanced customer trust
Working with ISO 17025 accredited laboratories not only accelerates Amazon’s compliance review process but also strengthens your brand reputation.
Different product categories have different applicable standards. Here’s a breakdown:
- Must comply with standards such as astm f1447 (for recreational cycling and skating) or ASTM F1898 (for stroller use).
- Other acceptable standards include Snell B-90A, B-95, RS-98, or S-98.
- Must comply with 16 CFR Part 1512 (bicycle requirements), CPSIA lead regulations, tracking label requirements, and small parts regulations if applicable.
- Bicycles designed for young children must meet extra small parts and labeling requirements.
- Must comply with 16 CFR Part 1512 and electrical system standards such as ANSI/CAN/UL 2849, ANSI/CAN/UL 2272, or EN 15194 (EU standard for e-bikes).
Important Note:
