Accredited Laboratories on Amazon - How to Ensure Product Compliance and Avoid Verification Issues
24 Nov 2025
If you're a seller on Amazon, you likely prioritize staying compliant with the platform’s requirements. On July 13, 2025, Amazon announced important changes regarding compliance test results - from now on, they will only be accepted from accredited laboratories that meet specific safety standards. What does this mean in practice? If your test results come from a lab that's not on the approved list, your documentation will be rejected, and your product may be blocked. This new feature in the seller panel launched in September 2025.
These changes aim to ensure the highest quality products are available on Amazon and to protect consumers. Below, you'll find details on how to check if the laboratory you’re using meets the requirements, how the entire testing process works, and how to avoid issues with document rejection.
Why These Changes?
Amazon is committed to improving the quality and safety of the products offered on its platform. The new rules are designed to ensure that all test results come from reliable, accredited labs that meet international quality standards. This is an important step in building greater consumer trust.
With these changes, Amazon can guarantee that only products that have been tested at approved labs will be allowed on the platform.
What Happens If You Submit Test Results from a Non-Accredited Laboratory?
If your test results come from a lab that doesn't meet Amazon’s requirements, your documentation will be rejected. The result will be the blocking of your product on the platform, and Amazon will ask for the report and product to be re-verified by an accredited lab - which means double fees. For you, this translates into wasted time, money, and lost potential profits.
That’s why it’s important to make sure the lab you're using is on the accredited list before submitting any documents.
How to Check if a Laboratory is Accredited by Amazon?
Log into your Seller Central account.
Go to the Account Health section.
Select the appropriate product category. Products requiring accreditation will appear under Policy Compliance.
Check if the lab you're using is on the list of approved testing service providers.
Benefits of Working with Accredited Laboratories
Choosing an accredited lab comes with several benefits:
Faster Acceptance of Results - Tests are verified and approved more quickly.
No Risk of Document Rejection - You can be confident your test results will be accepted.
Increased Customer Trust - Products tested by reliable labs gain more trust among consumers, which can positively impact sales.
Compliance with Amazon's Policy - You avoid issues related to non-compliance with Amazon’s requirements.
Summary
The changes to Amazon’s compliance testing policy were announced on July 13, 2025, and the feature became available in the seller panel in September 2025. While the changes might seem complex, following the new rules is crucial to avoid document rejections and product verification issues.
