What is the Amazon EN 55035 Standard?

EN 55035 is a harmonized Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard issued by the European Union for Multimedia Equipment (MME). Its full name is "Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia equipment — Immunity requirements".

It primarily answers one question: Will your electronic product crash, reboot, produce noise, disconnect, or malfunction under external electromagnetic interference?

For Amazon sellers, EN 55035 is usually not treated as a standalone requirement, but rather forms part of the overall compliance package for electronic products on the European marketplace, alongside en 55032, EN 62368-1, the CE DoC (Declaration of Conformity), and EU Representative information.

Which Amazon Products Does EN 55035 Apply To?

It applies to almost all multimedia equipment with a rated voltage not exceeding 600V AC/DC:

1.Computers, laptops, tablets, monitors, keyboards, mice, printers

2.Routers, switches, network cards, hard drive enclosures, docking stations

3.Smart TVs, set-top boxes, projectors, audio systems, soundbars

4.Game consoles, cameras, live streaming equipment

5.Smart speakers, LED lights with main control boards, smart home hubs

6.Consumer electronics equipped with WiFi / Bluetooth / Zigbee

Products usually NOT directly covered by EN 55035:

1.Automotive electronics (Have dedicated standards)

2.Medical devices (iec 60601 series)

3.Purely industrial equipment (en 61000 series is more appropriate)

4.Wireless devices with more specific EMC standards (e.g., EN 301 489 takes precedence)

EN 55035 Testing Items

Performance Criteria are typically classified into A / B / C:

Criterion A: The product must continue to operate as intended without abnormalities during the test.

Criterion B: Temporary abnormalities are allowed during the test, but the product must recover automatically afterward.

Criterion C: Temporary abnormalities are allowed, provided the function can be restored via manual user intervention (Note: Not all products are allowed to use Criterion C).

What Amazon Sellers Care About Most: How Does EN 55035 Relate to Listing Products?

Amazon US Marketplace The US marketplace primarily looks at fcc part 15:

1.Regular electronic products: fcc sdoc

2.Products with WiFi/Bluetooth: fcc id

EN 55035 is not a legally mandatory standard in the US, but:

1.Factories usually test it simultaneously when manufacturing the EU version of a product.

2.Amazon reviews, overseas buyers, and B2B purchasers may look for it.

3.When selling the identical SKU globally (North America + Europe), EN 55035 is part of the European compliance package.

Amazon Europe Marketplaces (Germany / France / Italy / Spain / Netherlands, etc.) Under the EU CE-EMC framework, the common requirements for multimedia equipment are:EN 55032 (Emissions) + EN 55035 (Immunity)

Products with wireless functions must also comply with the RED directive. During European marketplace reviews, Amazon often requires:

1.Test reports that include the standard version.

2.Clear laboratory qualifications (ISO/IEC 17025, CNAS/ILAC-MRA).

3.Exact consistency across the report model, nameplate, Listing, and DoC.

4.EU Representative information + Technical Documentation + CE Declaration of Conformity.

Amazon UK Marketplace Under the ukca framework, the standard logic is similar to the EU, but it must be processed according to UK Approved Bodies and applicable UK versions. Post-Brexit, you cannot simply submit unmodified CE documents to pass as UKCA documents.

Amazon Japan Marketplace Japan primarily looks at VCCI / TELEC:

EMC: VCCI

Wireless: TELEC (Giteki)

EN 55035 is not the primary standard for the Japan marketplace, but the immunity design logic of the product itself is universally interconnected.

Amazon Compliance Document Checklist

It is recommended to prepare a complete compliance package:

1.Product Manual (Including model, input voltage, and functions)

2.Nameplate Design (Model, brand, input, CE, WiFi logos, etc.)

3.Schematics / PCB Layout / BOM (Bill of Materials)

4.en 55032 test Report

5.EN 55035 Test Report

6.EN 62368-1 Safety Report (Common for Audio/Video/IT/Multimedia)

7.CE Declaration of Conformity (DoC)

8.eu authorized representative (EU Rep) Information

9.RoHS 2.0 Report

10.For Wireless Products: RED + RF + EN 301 489 + Health Assessment

11.WEEE / EPR (Supplemented per country, e.g., Germany, France)

FAQ

Is EN 55035 a mandatory certification?

It is not a "certificate name," but rather a harmonized standard under the EU EMC Directive. It is typically adopted when conducting CE-EMC conformity assessments for multimedia equipment.

Do EN 55035 and EN 55032 have to be tested together?

For multimedia equipment, emissions (EN 55032) and immunity (EN 55035) usually constitute a complete EMC assessment together.

Does Amazon US require EN 55035?

The US primarily looks at the FCC. EN 55035 is not legally mandatory in the US, but it will be utilized for the European marketplace, buyer audits, and identical global product models.

Is testing only EN 55035 enough for products with WiFi/Bluetooth?

No, it is not enough. You also need RED, RF, the EN 301 489 series, safety, and chemical compliance.
