Amazon’s Approved Third-Party Testing Labs: The Complete Guide for Sellers
If you sell products on Amazon, you’ve likely encountered the platform’s product compliance requirements. For certain categories – from children’s toys to portable power supplies and dietary supplements – Amazon requires sellers to submit test reports from approved third-party TIC (Testing, Inspection, and Certification) service providers. Using a non-approved lab can result in rejected applications, listing suspensions, and costly delays.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of Amazon’s partner TIC service providers, organised by product category and marketplace, to help you choose the right testing partner and get your products listed faster.
What Are Amazon’s Approved TIC Service Providers?
Amazon maintains a curated list of third-party testing laboratories that are authorised to issue compliance reports for specific product categories. These are known as partner TIC (Testing, Inspection, and Certification) service providers.
When you apply to sell in a restricted category, Amazon typically requires you to submit test reports that demonstrate your products meet the relevant safety standards. These reports must come from an approved provider – or, if you use a lab that isn’t on the partner list, its results must be validated by one of the approved TIC providers.
Amazon updates its list of approved providers monthly. You can always find the most current version in the Select a Provider menu in Seller Central.
Why Does This Matter for Sellers?
Submitting a test report from a non-approved laboratory is one of the most common reasons Amazon rejects seller applications for restricted categories. Here’s why getting it right matters:
- Avoid listing rejections: Reports from unapproved labs are automatically flagged, leading to delays or outright denial of your selling application.
- Save time and money: Choosing the right lab from the start means you won’t need to re-test with an approved provider later.
- Multi-marketplace compliance: Some providers are approved for multiple Amazon stores (US, Canada, UK, EU), which simplifies expansion into new markets.
- Ongoing compliance: Approved labs stay up to date with Amazon’s evolving requirements, ensuring your reports remain valid.
Approved TIC Providers by Product Category
The table below summarises Amazon’s approved TIC service providers by product category and marketplace. Note that the number of approved providers varies significantly by category – children’s toys, for example, has dozens of approved labs across multiple markets, while niche categories like ophthalmic drug products have only a handful.

How to Choose the Right Testing Lab
With so many approved providers to choose from, here are some practical tips for selecting the best partner for your needs:
- Match your product category: Not every lab is approved for every product type. Start by filtering for labs that cover your specific category.
- Consider your target marketplaces: If you plan to sell in both the US and EU, choose a provider approved for both regions to avoid duplicating testing efforts.
- Check turnaround times: Testing timelines vary between providers. If speed is critical, ask about expedited options before committing.
- Compare pricing: Testing costs can vary significantly between providers. Request quotes from at least two or three labs.
- Look for Amazon experience: Labs that regularly work with Amazon sellers will understand the platform’s specific requirements and report formats.
- Ask about bundled services: Some providers offer package deals that include testing across multiple standards or additional compliance services like CE marking support.
What If Your Lab Isn’t on the Approved List?
If you’ve already had your products tested by a lab that isn’t on Amazon’s partner list, don’t panic. Amazon does allow test results from non-partner labs, but there’s an important caveat: those results must be validated by one of the approved TIC service providers.
This validation process typically involves the approved provider reviewing your existing test reports and confirming that the testing methodology, standards, and results meet Amazon’s requirements. While this adds an extra step (and cost), it can be faster than retesting from scratch.
