1. Portable Power Bank

• Key Features: Also known as power packs, portable USB chargers, or backup battery power supplies, characterized by small size and easy portability.

2. Portable Power Supply (General Purpose)

• Key Features: Common forms include battery packs with USB outputs or car chargers.

3. Power Station

• Definition: A large-capacity, long-endurance mobile battery supporting multiple electrical output formats.

4. Portable Car Jump Starter

• Definition: Contains one or more batteries (encapsulated in a housing), usable as a portable power source without a grid, with a boost function.
• Key Features: Starts car batteries with instantaneous high current, specifically designed for emergency situations.

II. Core Compliance Requirements: Product-Specific Rules

(1) Core Testing Standards & Compliance Requirements (Directly Affect Listing Eligibility)

(2) Mandatory Information on Product Detail Pages (Non-Negotiable)

• Clearly mark the model/part number/product code and manufacturer/brand name.
• This information must be fully consistent with the test report to ensure the identity of the sold product and the tested product.

(3) Required Compliance Documents & Materials

Document Category:

• Test report issued by an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, directly proving product compliance with the above standards;
• Label images or product photos that meet labeling requirements.

Image Category:

• Must include model, brand, product label, compliance marks, hazard warnings, and product manual;
• Images must be clear and legible, supporting the consistency of the sold product with the tested product and the product on the detail page;
• Manuals, labels, etc., must be provided in both English and local Canadian languages (e.g., French). It is recommended to submit comprehensive photos of the product and packaging to shorten the approval cycle.

IV. Common Compliance Pitfalls (Must Avoid)

1. Submitting reports from non-ISO 17025-accredited laboratories: Directly rejected;
2. Inconsistent model/brand on the detail page with the test report: Review failed;
3. Single-language manual: Delays approval progress;
4. Images missing compliance marks or hazard warnings: Repeatedly required to supplement materials.
