How to conduct the EN71 testing for Amazon’s European site?

Amazon EN71 Standard: “Direct Verification” Ensures No Falsification  

At the heart of Amazon’s “Direct Verification” system is the principle that the ultimate authority to determine compliance lies with independent third-party testing institutions. You can no longer upload any documents yourself; the entire process is carried out directly between the TIC institution and Amazon’s backend systems.

 A Critical Misconception about Amazon EN71: The “Shelf Life” of Test Reports  

Many sellers assume that a valid test report can be used indefinitely. This is a fatal misconception. Under the “Direct Verification” system, Amazon explicitly requires that test reports be current. There are clear indications that reports older than one year are likely to be deemed invalid. While the final decision rests with the TIC institution, sellers must adopt the utmost caution.  

Strategies for Complying with Amazon EN71: Three Immediate Steps  

1. Self-Verification: Immediately check the date of issue and the standard version of the test reports you currently have.   2. Contact the TIC Institution: Proactively reach out to the third-party testing organizations recognized by Amazon (such as Ningbo Huabiao Testing) to inquire about report updates or retesting.   3. Prepare Necessary Materials: In advance, gather product samples, technical documents, and any previous test reports, just in case they are needed.
