Checks to ask the factory for

  1. Ask for product-specific flammability or overheating test evidence from a competent laboratory.
  2. Confirm the specified battery, charger and thermal protection components where applicable.
  3. Ask how component substitutions and production heat-test results are recorded.

Questions for due diligence, not a certification checklist or a guarantee of compliance. Select the applicable standards and tests with a competent laboratory.

The current calendar month is partial. These are published alerts, safety reports and recalls, not a measure of all products sold or a recall rate. Hong Kong is reported separately.

Compliance

UK compliance finder · The finder snapshot has no recorded review date. Dated supporting guides are linked for each topic. Requirements depend on intended use, materials and territory; GB marking rules do not establish EU or Northern Ireland compliance.

Packaging obligations can also apply; use the finder for its universal and conditional checks.

China rebates

Changes matched at HS heading level, including historical and announced future changes. Only the listed annex codes are covered; confirm the exact China export code and effective date. These are supplier-side rebates, not UK import duty discounts or guaranteed price changes.
