Update time : 2025-01-02

Currently, many sellers of electrical products are required to provide a UL report to pass the review. Is a UL report the same as UL certification? Of course, it is not. The UL report required by Amazon is a report issued by an ISO 17025 laboratory after testing the product according to UL standards. UL certification involves factory inspection and testing, with the certification issued by UL itself, while a UL report is a test report. The two are quite different. Below is a detailed introduction to the UL reports required by cross-border platforms:

 

What are the UL Reports for Amazon US and TEMU?(图1)


Why is a UL Report Necessary?

- Product Safety Proof: A UL test report evaluates and verifies the safety performance of a product, proving that the product will not cause harm to the user or others during use.

- Market Access Barrier: As major e-commerce platforms continue to strengthen their global strategic positions, the number of sellers increases, and the demand for product safety becomes higher. A UL test report has become one of the critical requirements for listing products on platforms like Amazon, TEMU, etc.

- Avoid Potential Risks: If a product fails to pass ul testing or does not provide a UL test report, it could face risks such as suspension of sales or removal of listings. Additionally, if a safety incident occurs during product use, the seller may also face legal disputes and compensation responsibilities.

Amazon's Requirements for UL Reports

Background: The US Consumer Product Safety Act was introduced in 2008 to improve the safety of consumer products and prevent injuries and deaths caused by these products. As a leading e-commerce platform in the US, Amazon is committed to providing a safe and reliable shopping environment for US consumers, hence requiring sellers to provide UL reports to ensure products meet US standards and regulations.

 

Scope of Application: Amazon generally requires UL reports for electronic and electrical products sold on its US platform, such as lighting, appliances, and electronic devices. Additionally, high-risk products such as home goods and outdoor items may also need to provide UL reports.

 

Submission Method: Sellers need to submit the UL test report to the e-commerce platform to prove the safety of their products. Typically, the report can be uploaded through the seller’s backend or support center.

 

UL Report Process

1. Identify Product Type and Testing Items: First, identify the product type and relevant UL testing items to ensure the correct UL standard is applied for testing and certification.

2. Choose a Third-Party Agency: Contact and select a qualified and experienced third-party agency for UL testing, such as Global Crowns.

3. Submit Application Form and Samples: Submit the UL report application form to the selected agency along with relevant product samples and technical documentation such as product manuals, design drawings, circuit diagrams, bill of materials, etc.

4. Sample Testing: The third-party agency conducts a series of safety and performance tests on the product based on UL standards.

5. Report Generation: If the product passes the tests, the third-party agency will issue a UL test report containing the test results and compliance statement.

6. Report Review and Modification: The applicant has the right to review the UL report and suggest any necessary modifications or corrections.

7. Report Issuance and Certification: After review and modification, the final UL report is completed and issued.

 

Differences Between UL Report and UL Certification

- UL Certification: It is a voluntary certification that requires both product testing and factory inspection, which occurs quarterly. The cost is high, the process takes longer, and the factory inspection is very strict. After certification, products can directly be exported and cleared, and the UL mark can be used.

- UL Report: It is a test report issued after a product passes testing according to the relevant UL standard. It is more affordable, quicker, and does not require factory inspections. It can be used for reviews on major cross-border e-commerce platforms.

 

Important Considerations

- Laboratory Qualification: Ensure that the laboratory selected has the proper qualifications and recognition.

- Documentation Preparation: Prepare sufficient product information and documentation to facilitate testing and certification.

- Report Review: Carefully review the UL test report upon receipt to ensure the accuracy of the information.

- Compliance: In addition to the UL report, sellers should ensure that their products comply with Amazon’s other regulations and requirements.
