Amazon Canada Lighting Compliance Guide: Avoid Removal Risks & Smooth Listing Strategy

For sellers looking to expand their lighting business on Amazon Canada, compliance is the top priority. As a seller, you must strictly adhere to local regulations and platform policies to avoid the risk of product removal. Below is a summary of the core points to help you navigate the process:

I. Controlled Product Scope

• Decorative Light Strings: Lighting assemblies composed of multiple bulbs connected in series/parallel via flexible wires, used for indoor and outdoor decoration.
• Holiday Decorations: Seasonal products including light fixtures and sculptures, designed for temporary installation during holiday seasons.
• Night Lights: Plug-in night lights exclusively for indoor use in non-hazardous locations, with an input power not exceeding 10 watts.
• Lighting Fixtures: Covers all types of electrical lighting equipment, including indoor (tubes, chandeliers, recessed lighting, etc.), outdoor (wall sconces, landscape lights, etc.), and workshop task lights.

II. Applicable Standards

Different lighting products must meet corresponding standards, as detailed below:

III. Core Amazon Compliance Requirements

You must meet all the following compliance requirements:

1. Product Detail Page Requirements

Ensure the page meets all basic platform specifications for lighting products (no additional special content required beyond standard listing rules).

2. Product Information Attribute Requirements

Must clearly display:

• Model, part number, or product code
• Manufacturer or brand name
• Certification from an accredited body recognized by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC)

3. Compliance Information (Required Review Materials)

Submit the following documents and images:

• Test report or certificate issued by an SCC-accredited laboratory, proving the product complies with the above standards and requirements.

Critical Notes for Document/Image Submission

• All test documents must show results of "Pass" or "Not Applicable (NA)"; results marked "Fail", "Non-Compliant", "Does Not Meet", or blank will be rejected.
• Documents must not come from temporarily suspended verification laboratories.
• All files, test reports, or certificates must be authentic, original, and unmodified.
• Product manuals, safety information, labels, and warnings must be in the language(s) of the target sales country/region.
• Images must prove consistency between the sold product, the tested product, and the product listed on the detail page.
• Images must show all sides of the product or its packaging.
• For sets or bundled products, provide separate images for each item included in the set/bundle.

Tip: Provide clear and legible documents and images to reduce the risk of approval delays.
