Electronics carry the strictest certification and claim rules on Amazon. The 2026 checklist centers on marking, battery rules, and honest performance claims.
Marketplace note (Germany): German-language titles and bullet points are strongly recommended; CE marking and the EU GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation, effective Dec 2024) apply to most consumer goods.
US: FCC (Part 15 for digital devices). EU: CE + RoHS + REACH. Japan: PSE. Listings without valid marks risk removal in those stores.
Lithium batteries need UN38.3 transport compliance and clear capacity labeling (mAh/Wh). 'Fast charge' must cite a tested rate, not a vague promise.
'World's fastest', 'most powerful', 'military grade' need evidence. Default to measured specs: '65W output', 'IP68 rated (tested to 2m)'.
Don't use competitor trademarks or 'for [brand]' in a way that implies affiliation. Authorized-compatible language only.
No — passive accessories without electronics generally don't need FCC. Chargers and cables with chips do.
Only if untested. State the tested depth and duration, e.g. 'IP68, submersible to 2m for 30 min'.
Use 'charger compatible with iPhone' — never imply you are Apple or use their logo.
Missing FCC/CE for regulated items, false battery specs, or trademark infringement are the top causes.
