Compliance Guide for Portable Batteries on Amazon Europe

Recently, Amazon Europe has officially included portable power supplies (including functional products such as jump starters) in the Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) audit programme. Seller self-submitted test documents have been eliminated, and Direct Validation by designated third parties is fully implemented. All existing and newly listed portable power supplies must pass inspection/validation by authorised bodies before they can be sold!

This requirement applies to multiple European marketplaces, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Poland and the Netherlands. Regulated products must pass compliance review by 15 March 2026, otherwise they will be removed by the platform.

Product Definition and Classification

Amazon defines a portable power supply as a device with a built-in lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery, used to supply power when no standard power source (e.g., wall socket) is available. It mainly includes the following two categories:

• Power Bank

Small portable rechargeable battery used to charge mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets.

• Portable Outdoor Power Station

Powered by rechargeable batteries, it can supply power to multiple electronic devices and small appliances, usually with AC/DC output. Some models also support functions such as car jump start and solar charging.

How Sellers Can Achieve Compliance

Organise Products and Prioritise Key Items

Sort out portable power supply ASINs in your store, clarify product types and compliance standards. Prioritise ASINs that have received test requests in Account Health to avoid removal due to overdue compliance.

Prepare Complete Documentation to Ensure Compliance

Compile compliance documents for each ASIN: core reports must be issued by an ISO 17025-accredited body and valid within 12 months. Prepare UN 38.3 reports, BTS documents and compliance graphics/text descriptions.

Take Initiative on Compliance to Mitigate Risks

Complete compliance preparation for all ASINs in advance even if no test notification has been received. Amazon conducts regular inspections and random sampling; proactive compliance avoids listing removal risks.

Monitor Updates and Adjust Timely

Follow platform announcements and industry news, keep up with changes in compliance policies, and adjust strategies dynamically.
