Where can I get a UL4200A test report?

To obtain a UL4200A test report, you can consider the following options for finding a suitable laboratory:

1. Through UL's Official Laboratories: The UL website offers testing services, and since the UL4200A standard is issued by UL, you can contact UL directly. However, the downside is that UL's testing process can be lengthy and costly. Currently, the minimum quote from a UL laboratory for the UL4200A test starts at $850.

2. Finding an Authorized Third-Party Laboratory: UL authorizes testing laboratories that meet specific requirements. You can seek out these third-party laboratories for UL4200A testing. In China, for example, UL has authorized JJR Laboratory. Compared to other laboratories, our fees are lower, with standard UL4200A testing costing between $450 and $680. (We are also an IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.)

Considerations When Choosing a Laboratory:

1. Certification: Ensure that the laboratory you choose is ISO 17025 accredited, which is essential for conducting the UL4200A test report.

2. Service Scope: Confirm whether the laboratory has the capability to conduct the UL4200A test and if they offer a fast turnaround time.

3. Costs and Timeframe: Inquire about the laboratory’s fees and service timeframes to make a reasonable budget and schedule. At JJR, the testing cycle is one week, with costs ranging from $450 to $680.

Preparing and Submitting Test Samples:

After contacting the laboratory, prepare and submit samples according to their requirements. Usually, you will need to prepare the samples following the UL4200A standard and submit them as guided by the laboratory.

The UL4200A test report is crucial for ensuring the safety of consumer products containing button or coin batteries. Specifically, for selling on platforms like Amazon, the platform requires sellers to provide a UL4200A test report issued by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. This ensures that the products sold meet safety standards, protect consumer rights, and maintain the platform’s reputation. Therefore, choosing the right laboratory to apply for a UL4200A test report is essential.
