What is Amazon Product Safety?
Amazon Product Safety refers to the requirements the platform imposes on sellers and vendors to ensure that products offered on the marketplace are secure and legally compliant. This encompasses various product categories including electronics, toys, protective equipment, gas products, and more.
Product Safety and Compliance Guidelines
Amazon has established specific guidelines for product safety and compliance that all sellers and vendors must follow, regardless of which marketplaces they operate on. These guidelines exist to ensure products meet applicable laws and are safe for customers.
Proof of Product Conformity
Amazon requires sellers and vendors to provide evidence demonstrating compliance with applicable laws and government certifications. This includes providing information about labeling, warning signs, and product descriptions on the product detail page. The company itself strengthens Amazon Product Safety standards.
Compliance Policy Adherence Dashboard
To simplify compliance management, Amazon introduced the "Product Safety and Compliance Policy Adherence Dashboard." This tool allows sellers and vendors to submit required compliance information to Amazon and verify that their products meet legal requirements.
New Image Variant for Product Safety and Compliance
Amazon introduced a new image type called "Product Safety and Compliance." Sellers and vendors must now display all sides of packaging along with warning labels, markings, and descriptions as product images on detail pages.
Products with CE Marking
Products bearing CE markings sold in the European Union require designation of a responsible person or company. Amazon implemented the "VP Dashboard" to simplify appointing responsible parties.
The Upcoming General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) 2024
The EU plans to introduce a new regulation called the "General Product Safety Regulation" in Q3 2024. This regulation will likely require a responsible person designation for all products sold within the EU, thereby ensuring Amazon Product Safety standards.
Current GPSR Status
The EU Parliament and Council are awaiting final approval of the GPSR text. Once approved and published in the EU Official Journal, the regulation takes effect 18 months later, projected for Q3 2024.
Impact of GPSR on Amazon Sellers and Vendors
The GPSR introduction will substantially alter product safety requirements on Amazon. Sellers and vendors must appoint a designated responsible person located in the EU for all products offered there.
Summary and Outlook
Amazon Product Safety and the forthcoming GPSR will significantly impact sellers and vendors on the platform. Early familiarization with requirements and process adaptation are essential to ensure products comply with applicable laws and remain safe for customers.
