What is the Amazon TIC certification? How can I obtain the EN71 certification for Amazon’s European site?

Q: What is Amazon TIC certification?

A: TIC stands for Testing, Inspection, and Certification. It is a third-party testing system introduced by Amazon to ensure the safety of products on the platform. This certification requires that the products in the supply chain pass laboratory tests to comply with safety regulations in various countries, thereby preventing sellers from facing the risk of having their products removed from the platform due to non-compliance. In simple terms, it’s like your product’s “passport”!

Q: What aspects does the EN71 standard cover?

A: EN71 is the European Union’s unified standard for toy safety. It primarily examines the physical and mechanical properties of toys (to ensure they are durable and do not cause injury), their flammability (to prevent fires), and their chemical composition (to ensure they are harmless). This standard is widely used to assess the quality and safety of children’s toys and is a necessary requirement for sellers on Amazon’s European site.

Q: Why is it necessary to test for chemical substances?

A: Toys, kitchenware, and textiles often contain a variety of ingredients, including plasticizers, heavy metals, coupling agents, and pigment additives. TIC and EN71 tests measure the levels of these substances to ensure compliance with the EU’s REACH regulations and the US’s CPSC requirements, thereby reducing potential health hazards to children.
