Amazon Electric Space Heaters Compliance | Simply explained

Electric Space Heaters Compliance

Electric space heaters are devices designed to heat individual rooms or small areas by expelling hot air through a fan to effectively circulate warmth. Products sold on platforms like Amazon must adhere to specific compliance requirements to ensure safety and legal conformity.

  • Requirements: Electric space heaters must comply with several directives and standards, including the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. Compliance is further mandated by standards such as EN IEC 60335-1, EN 60335-2-30, and EN 50581/IEC 63000.
  • Documentation: Vendors must provide a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) issued by responsible entities like the manufacturer, containing signatures and information proving compliance.
  • Product Information: Listings must include the model or item number and display hazard warnings. Manufacturers must provide images showing compliance markings, labels, and manuals.

Non-compliance may result in removal from the platform or other actions under Vendor Terms and Conditions. Vendors are encouraged to seek assistance for compliance certifications, testing, and audits if needed.
