Where does Amazon tell you which documents it needs?
In Seller Central, the compliance section of Account Health ("Manage Your Compliance") lists the documents requested for each listing. Requirements change and differ by marketplace, so check it for every new ASIN rather than relying on a general list — including this one.
Which test reports match each product?
| Product | US rule (CPC citation) | What we hold | EU |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bed rails | 16 CFR part 1224 (ASTM F2085-19) + lead & phthalates | HK24123123495R · HK24123123495-1RR | EN 71 HUT2404248009CR · CE HUT2404248009C |
| Baby gates | 16 CFR part 1239 (ASTM F1004) | ASTM F1004 report — number on request | EN 1930 — not held, ask us |
| Playpens | Depends on design: 16 CFR part 1221 (play yards, ASTM F406) or part 1239 (expandable enclosures) | No US playpen report listed — your lab classifies the design | EN 12227 C210525017001-2 |
Reports cover the products that were tested. Tell us the model you are listing and we confirm in writing which report applies.
What should the test report show?
- The same product you are selling — model or reference, photos of the tested sample and the materials.
- The lab — for the US, a CPSC-accepted third-party lab for that rule.
- The standard and its version — gate reports in particular should match the version in force (see our gate guide).
- The intended age range — compliance reviewers look for it; make sure it is stated.
Packaging and label checklist
- Permanent tracking label on the product and on the carton (source, production date or batch).
- Warning labels and instructions required by the standard — your lab checks the exact wording.
- Registration card where 16 CFR part 1130 applies to the product.
- Country of origin ("Made in China") and your brand name and address.
- Photos of the finished packaging and labels — reviewers often ask for them.
We print your logo, tracking label and warnings on the fabric panel, frame or retail box; custom packaging starts at 100 pcs.

Selling on Amazon in the EU?
Since 13 December 2024 the EU General Product Safety Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/988) applies to consumer products sold in the EU, including through online marketplaces. Distance-selling listings have to show the manufacturer and the economic operator in the EU responsible for the product, plus the product identifiers and any warnings. Plan who that EU operator is before you list.
For bed rails we hold EN 71 and CE reports; for playpens an EN 12227 report. We do not hold an EN 1930 report for gates — ask us before you list gates in the EU.
Common gaps to check before you submit
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Model on the report = model on the listing | Reviewers compare the product photos and name with the report |
| Lab accepted for the rule (US) | A CPC must rest on a CPSC-accepted lab's test |
| Age range stated | Compliance reviewers look for it |
| Label and packaging photos ready | Often requested together with the reports |
| Same materials as the tested sample | Material changes can take the product outside the report |
What to send us
Your listing link or ASIN (if it exists), the model, quantity and marketplace. We reply with the matching reports, product photos for your listing and a packaging proof.
