Amazon policy for consumer products with button cell or coin batteries
Why is Amazon requiring compliance documents for button cell or coin batteries, that the Code of Federal Regulation does require, for pre 2023 product manufacturing dates? I submitted an appeal for an ASIN, with proof of manufactured from 2004-2012 and it was rejected.
Amazon's policy states
"We require that all consumer products with button cell or coin batteries that fall under 16 CFR Part 1263 have been tested to and comply with the regulations, standards, and requirements listed below..."
However 16 CFR PART § 1263.1 Scope, purpose, effective date, and exemption.
(b) Effective date. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, the effective date of § 1263.3 is October 23, 2023. Packages of button cell or coin batteries manufactured or imported after September 21, 2024, must meet the labeling requirements for battery packaging in § 1263.4.
The earliest regulations 16 CFR § 1700.15 for button cell and coin battery that applies, is for Products manufactured or imported after February 12, 2023.

they dont care about manufacturing dates. There is no way for Amazon to make sure you aren't sending in newer inventory that doesn't conform to the requirements.
I also appealed as all of my button cell products were produced in 2023 but Amazon would not accept that argument.
My suppliers were able to provide the documentation needed.

Hello @Seller_qtcrOMsXAQy6A,
Thank you for posting your concerns with a product compliance requirement.
Per our button cell policy, we require all products to be tested if they fall into this category:
- We require that all consumer products with button cell or coin batteries that fall under 16 CFR Part 1263 have been tested to and comply with the regulations, standards, and requirements listed below.
Although the government has set their policy, we hold a much stricter policy to ensure safety of all products listed and sold. With that said the policy page provided does offer resourced to have your products tested if you need to obtain these documents, but will be required to ensure the listing is not deactivated, or so it can be reinstated.
The forums community and I are here to support you. Please let us know how we can help you from this point forward.
