Why does Amazon require UL test reports?
With the continuous improvement of Amazon's strategic position in global commerce, the number of merchants settling in is increasing, and the access threshold is also correspondingly improved. If the product cannot provide UL test reports, sales may be suspended, listing may be taken off the shelf, and other issues may arise. Amazon needs relevant UL test reports when the electrified products are put on the shelves, and the test reports issued by ISO 17025 qualified laboratories are required for normal sales and link recovery.
Difference between UL test report and UL certification
UL certification: voluntary certification, which requires testing products and auditing factories once a quarter, is expensive, takes a long time, and the auditing factory is very strict.
UL test report: the qualified test report shall be issued after the corresponding UL standard is selected according to the product and tested as qualified. Low cost, short cycle, no need to audit. It can be used for Amazon audit, and customs clearance is invalid.
