With the rapid growth of e-commerce, Amazon, as a global leader, continues to tighten its requirements for product compliance and safety. Effective July 13, 2025, Amazon has officially implemented a new policy: only accepting product compliance test results from qualified laboratories that meet Amazon’s safety standards. This move aims to eliminate false or non-compliant documentation, ensuring all products on the platform adhere to stringent safety regulations, thereby delivering a secure and reliable shopping experience for consumers.

Amazon’s New Compliance Policy: Opportunities and Challenges for Sellers

Amazon’s new policy clearly states that all products sold on the platform must provide compliance documentation from Amazon-accredited labs, proving adherence to relevant regulations and platform policies. Sellers who fail to submit valid compliance documents will face strict measures, including listing restrictions or even removal. Additionally, Amazon has published a list of "Suspended Verification Labs," explicitly rejecting their reports due to authenticity and standard deficiencies.

This policy underscores Amazon’s commitment to consumer safety and market integrity while presenting sellers with new challenges: How to ensure product compliance? How to choose a trustworthy lab? The answer lies with Ningbo Huabiao Testing!

At this critical juncture, Ningbo Huabiao Testing has secured a spot on Amazon’s certified whitelist of laboratories with its rigorous professional expertise, becoming a reliable partner for sellers.

✅ Behind the New Policy: Amazon Means Business!
To eliminate fake or non-compliant reports, uphold platform credibility, and protect consumer rights, Amazon has made it clear:

• Only compliance reports from officially accredited labs will be accepted

• Reports from "suspended verification labs" will no longer be recognized

• Non-compliant products will face listing restrictions or outright removal

This isn’t just a cleanup—it’s a move toward stronger regulation. If your product’s compliance report comes from a non-approved agency, you risk not only rejection but also damage to your brand reputation and long-term operations.

In the cross-border e-commerce sector, the market demand for toy products continues to grow. However, meeting stringent safety standards is a top priority for entering the European market. EN71 certification, as the European toy safety standard, is crucial for ensuring children's safety. Today, the Huabiao Testing team will share with you the standards required for EN71 certification when exporting toys to the EU.

What is EN71 Testing?

EN71 is the regulatory standard for toy products in the EU market, known as the "Toy Safety Standard." It covers various aspects of toy products, including design, manufacturing, labeling, and packaging, ensuring compliance with safety requirements when toys are sold in the EU market. The EN71 standards are divided into the following sections:

1. EN71-1: Physical and Mechanical Properties
   This section focuses on the physical characteristics of toys, including tests for sharp points, edges, small parts, pressure, tension, torque, etc., to ensure toys do not cause physical harm to children during normal use.

2. EN71-2: Flammability
   This section specifies the flammability requirements for toy materials to prevent fire hazards caused by burning toys.

3. EN71-3: Migration of Certain Elements
   Toys may contain harmful elements such as heavy metals. EN71-3 strictly limits the migration levels of these elements to protect children from chemical hazards.

4. EN71-4: Chemical Toys (Experimental Sets)
   For toys like chemical experiment sets, EN71-4 sets special requirements for the chemical composition, packaging, and labeling of the products.

5. EN71-5: Chemical Toys (Microbiological)
   This section applies to toys containing microorganisms, such as bacterial culture sets, ensuring they do not pose health risks to children during use.

6. Other Sections (EN71-6, EN71-7, EN71-8, etc.)
   These sections address specific types of toys, such as age warning labels, finger paints, and home swings, with corresponding safety requirements.

In modern catering and household life, food contact materials, as utensils that come into direct contact with food, have material safety that directly impacts consumer health. According to international food safety standards, all materials that may come into contact with food must undergo rigorous testing to ensure they do not migrate harmful substances into food. Professional testing can evaluate the chemical stability of utensils like knives and forks under various usage conditions (e.g., high temperatures, acidic environments), preventing hazardous components such as heavy metals and plasticizers from leaching into food. Today, Huabiao Testing will share insights on handling various FCM food contact materials, such as FDA and LFGB.

FDA Certification—The Gateway to the U.S. Market

LFGB certification is not only applicable to the German market but is also crucial for entering the broader EU market. Ningbo Huabiao Testing Agency has an in-depth understanding of LFGB regulations and extensive operational experience, offering enterprises a full range of testing services, including chemical composition analysis, sensory testing, and microbiological testing.

Testing and Certification Requirements for Toy Exports in Major Markets

Different countries/regions have varying safety standards and certification requirements for toys. Below are the core testing and certifications for major markets:

• 16 CFR Part 1501: Prohibits small parts in toys for children under 3 to prevent choking hazards.

Certification Requirements: Testing by a CPSC-recognized third-party lab is required, along with a Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) for toys intended for children aged 12 and under (e.g., blind boxes, stress-relief toys).
