AMZ123 has learned that Amazon announced that, following the toy category, its Global Testing Operation (GTO) is officially open to the electronics and electrical appliance category from today. Sellers only need to complete one product test to meet product compliance review requirements across multiple Amazon marketplaces. This initial rollout covers lithium-battery-powered smart home devices and consumer electronics, with representative products including over-ear headphones and earbuds, surveillance cameras, and speakers. It will gradually expand to more electronics and electrical subcategories.

The core testing item for this category is the IEC 62368-1 safety test for complete devices. With GTO, sellers can achieve multi-marketplace compliance by combining a single test with country-specific deviations. Mandatory listing tests cover product safety standards, including North American UL/CSA C22.2 No. 62368-1, EU IEC/EN 62368-1, and Japan J62368-1, as well as lithium battery standards, including North American UL 1642, UL 2054, and UL/CSA 62133-2, European IEC/EN 62133-2, Japanese JIS C 62133-2, and UN 38.3 testing and certificates. These items are already subject to unified standard pricing. The more marketplaces covered, the greater the savings on duplicate testing costs.

The first laboratories connected to the electronics and electrical GTO program are Intertek, SGS, and TÜV SÜD. Compliance data obtained through GTO testing can be used for listing review on 16 marketplaces. Market access testing beyond Listing compliance is not included in GTO standardized pricing and must be quoted separately by TIC; the test reports issued under GTO can satisfy the technical requirements for subsequent certification.

SellerHome Review

Electronics and electrical appliance sellers can use GTO to cover compliance review across 16 marketplaces with a single test, significantly reducing the costs and timelines of multi-country listings. It is recommended to prioritize lithium-battery smart home, audio, and camera products, and contact the three designated laboratories as soon as possible to lock in the unified testing solution.
