| 0:00.0 | If there's a regulation, if there's a compliance issue, it means you're going to have to prove that. |
| 0:05.0 | Oh my gosh, like I gotta do material testing, blah blah blah. |
| 0:08.0 | A lot of these factories, especially the good, big, well-established ones, like they already have all the paperwork ready for you. |
| 0:15.0 | It's just a matter of doing it up front instead of getting hit with a surprise six months down the road when you're selling and Amazon audits you and they're like, yo, we can't find your test documents and you're like, wait, what test documents? |
| 0:24.6 | So you're not going to get caught with your pants down on that one. |
| 0:30.6 | You're listening to another episode of selling on Amazon with Andy Isam in this episode, we're going to talk about how do I know if my product needs to be material |
| 0:41.9 | tested by my factory? |
| 0:44.2 | This is a question that comes up quite a bit to me, so I thought that would be a good |
| 0:47.4 | idea to do a dedicated podcast episode on this topic. |
| 0:51.2 | Now, this episode could get a little technical. This might be a little confusing, |
| 0:56.1 | but I'm going to try to break it down simply for you so that you're aware of testing that you may |
| 1:02.3 | need to do for your products. We're going to talk about how to go about doing that so that you |
| 1:06.2 | don't have anything to worry about. I've had friends and sellers sell products in categories that required |
| 1:12.4 | testing, but they weren't aware of that. They didn't think about it. And then, you know, |
| 1:16.9 | six months down the road, their product listings got shut down because they didn't have the |
| 1:20.6 | testing. Then they had to try to go to their factory and get it tested. And then there's a huge |
| 1:24.5 | delay. And it can really, really crush your momentum. So we want to |
| 1:28.4 | make sure that we're doing our due diligence up front to make sure that if we do need testing done |
| 1:33.1 | for our products, that we're getting that done in advance so we don't have any issues down the |
| 1:37.3 | road. Before we get too deep into this episode, though, I do want to take a quick chance to say |
| 1:41.7 | make sure you're checking out the show notes below these episodes. I've got links in there for you guys to grab Jungle Scout, the Amazon software |
| 1:50.1 | at discounts. I've got links to my ebook, links to my coaching program. So make sure you're checking |
