Under the trend of cross-border e-commerce compliance, TEMU, as a rapidly developing cross-border platform, is continuously strengthening product inspection and certification control at its global sites, clarifying policy standards, category scopes, and institutional qualification requirements. Compliance has become the core prerequisite for sellers to list products and operate stably on the platform. This article will comprehensively break down the core requirements of TEMU's inspection and certification, helping sellers efficiently adapt to the platform's rules and avoid compliance risks.

I. Core Requirements for TEMU Platform's Inspection and Certification

The inspection and certification requirements of TEMU are structured around four major dimensions: global policies and regulations, target sites, key product categories, and designated institutions. The rules are clear and strictly enforced. Non-compliant reports will directly result in review rejection, product delisting, and even account restrictions.

1. Core Applicable Policies and Regulations

TEMU strictly adheres to the mandatory compliance policies of major global markets, covering multiple areas such as safety, environmental protection, and control of hazardous substances. The core policies are as follows:

Global Policies: This covers UN38.3 (Lithium Battery Transport Safety), MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (Textile Environmental Standard), etc.

2. Key Coverage Sites

TEMU's inspection and certification requirements are implemented differently for each site. The EU, the US, and Canada are the core sites with the strictest controls. At the same time, it also covers mainstream cross-border markets such as the UK, Australia, and Japan. The specific requirements are as follows:

EU sites: Covering countries such as Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, CE certification, REACH compliance, and EU representative/UK representative information are mandatory. For electronic and electrical products, additional RoHS and WEEE registration is required. Toys must comply with EN71 series standards.

US site: Covering the entire US region, children's products require CPC certification and ASTM F963 test reports. Electronic and electrical products need FCC/UL reports. Textiles must pass the 16 CFR 1610 flammability test.

Canada site: Must comply with SOR/2016-193 regulations. Electronic products need energy efficiency certification. Toys and food contact materials must meet both US and Canadian standards simultaneously.

Other sites: The UK requires UKCA certification, Australia requires SAA certification, and Japan requires PSE certification. All sites must comply with local specific compliance regulations.

3. Key Product Categories under Strict Control

TEMU enforces mandatory testing and certification for high-risk and highly sensitive product categories, covering core categories such as toys, electronic appliances, and food contact products. The specific requirements are as follows:

Toys (products for children aged 0-12): The most strictly controlled category, including plush toys, plastic toys, educational toys, and baby products, etc. It is necessary to provide test reports on physical and mechanical properties, flammability, heavy metals, phthalates, and other harmful substances.

Electronics and electrical appliances: chargers, small household appliances, LED lighting, smart wearables, computer peripherals, battery products, etc., require CE-EMC/LVD, RoHS, FCC, UN38.3, MSDS and other certifications.

Apparel & Textiles: including children's clothing, adult apparel, home textiles, luggage, footwear, etc., need to comply with OEKO-TEX Standard 100, REACH Annex 17, flammability tests, harmful dye detection, etc.

Food Contact Materials: including tableware, kitchenware, food packaging, water cups, baby bottles, etc., need to meet the standards of EU 1935/2004/EC, US FDA 21 CFR, etc.

Other Categories: including jewelry and accessories, light industrial goods, cosmetics, household items, etc., need to provide compliance reports such as REACH, California 65, PFAS testing, etc.

4. Requirements for Compliance Testing Institutions (TEMU White List)

TEMU implements a strict white list institution system, only recognizing test reports issued by authoritative institutions screened by the platform. For the categories under platform control, sellers must use test reports issued by institutions on the platform's approved white list.

TEMU white list testing institutions typically have the following characteristics:

Internationally recognized qualifications: Hold laboratory qualifications recognized by CPSC (such as CPSC-recognized third-party laboratories), CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) certification, ISO 17025 system certification, or EU Notifier qualifications, etc.

Officially certified by TEMU: After strict review by the TEMU platform, they have been successfully included in the platform's approved testing institution white list, and their relevant qualification certifications can be verified on the platform's seller end.

Covering target markets: They can issue test reports in formats that comply with the regulations of the destination country/region, such as reports that conform to the EU CE conformity assessment process or test reports with CPSC standard formats.

Important Notice: For controlled product categories, the test reports submitted by sellers must be issued by institutions on the TEMU whitelist. Reports issued by non-whitelist institutions will be rejected by the platform. Identifying and choosing compliant whitelist institutions is the first crucial step in TEMU's compliance operation.

NBTS is an officially certified white-listed testing institution by the TEMU platform. It holds multiple qualifications such as CNAS, CMA, and CPSC, and is also an Amazon TIC recognized institution and a recommended laboratory by AliExpress. The reports are directly recognized by the platforms, facilitating sellers to pass the compliance review quickly and smoothly.
