Amazon Direct Validation Program

Ensure toy safety, streamline compliance, and speed up your Amazon product launch with QIMA.

QIMA Approved as an Amazon Direct Validation (DV) Partner Lab

QIMA has been officially approved by Amazon as part of the Direct Validation (DV) Partner Laboratory Network. This milestone, combined with our expertise in Amazon’s Fast-Track (FT) Program, reinforces QIMA’s commitment to delivering seamless compliance solutions for toy sellers across Amazon marketplaces in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

What is Amazon's Direct Validation Program?

Amazon's DV Program is a compliance initiative designed to enhance product safety and ensure adherence to both regulatory standards and Amazon-specific requirements. Focused initially on toys, the program transforms how sellers demonstrate compliance:

  • Direct submission by accredited labs: Sellers can no longer upload their own compliance documents. Instead, recognized testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) bodies like QIMA conduct testing and submit results directly to Amazon.

  • Mandatory testing: To ensure compliance and high product standard, all Amazon toy sellers are required to integrate testing into the product launch workflow.

  • Consequences of Non-Compliance: Products that fail validation or lack proper testing may be delisted, protecting consumers and upholding marketplace integrity.

This program empowers toy sellers to confidently bring safe, compliant products to millions of customers on Amazon.
