Amazon Updates Compliance Requirements: Low Voltage Products Must Submit CE Certification Reports Issued by Globally Recognized Institutions
Amazon has recently announced an update to its compliance policy, further strengthening regulatory requirements for Low Voltage Products sold on its platform. According to the latest notice, sellers of applicable products are now required to submit CE testing and certification reports issued by globally recognized, authoritative testing institutions. Failure to comply may result in product removal, sales restrictions, or other account-level consequences.
This policy update aims to enhance product safety and ensure that all low voltage products offered on Amazon meet the requirements of the EU Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and relevant CE conformity standards. Amazon has clarified that only reports issued by internationally accredited third-party laboratories (such as those accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 or recognized by EU authorities) will be accepted. Self-declarations or reports from non-recognized institutions will not meet platform requirements.
Key Requirements:
Scope: Low Voltage Products sold in the EU market
Mandatory Documentation:
CE testing and certification report
Issued by a globally recognized and accredited testing body
Risks of Non-Compliance:
Listing removal
Negative impact on account compliance performance
Sales or account restrictions
Amazon advises sellers to promptly review their existing product listings and conduct internal compliance checks to ensure that test reports are authentic, valid, and fully match the product models being sold. Preparing complete technical documentation in advance is strongly recommended to avoid disruptions to business operations.
Sellers are encouraged to stay informed about platform policy updates and complete CE compliance testing and documentation as early as possible to ensure continued and stable sales on Amazon and within the EU market.
