Certification Process

Application and Sample Submission: Submit product information, company details, and samples to an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory;

Testing and Reporting: The laboratory conducts tests and issues a compliant test report and GCC certificate;

Document Requirements: Provide information about the importer, manufacturer, product, and laboratory. The certificate must accompany the shipment.

II. Key Considerations
Document Authenticity: All submitted test reports and certificates must be original and unaltered;

Timeliness: Test reports must be submitted before Amazon's specified deadline. Late submissions may result in product delisting;

Multi-Standard Coverage: Prioritize standards with broad coverage (e.g., UL2849) and ensure compliance with other supplementary standards (e.g., 16 CFR 1512).

III. Additional Notes
Certification Body: Testing must be conducted by a laboratory accredited by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC);

Applicable Scenarios: Primarily applies to personal mobility devices such as electric bicycles and scooters. Children's bicycles only need to meet the 16 CFR 1512 standard.
