Temu offers sellers third-party testing and certification services
A global e-commerce platform focused on selling low-cost items is partnering with a testing, inspection, and certification company.
Temu is integrating testing and certification services from Qima directly into its seller center. This makes independent product testing, on-site factory inspections, seller training programs, and digital compliance tools from Qima accessible to sellers on the Temu platform.
Product testing will cover four initial categories: electrical and electronic goods, jewelry and gemstones, food contact materials, and light industrial products, and be conducted against applicable regulatory and safety standards. Qima will also conduct on-site factory inspections for selected sellers to verify production processes and supply chain practices at the source.
The Temu-Qima partnership also includes structured training programs designed to help sellers better understand testing standards and regulatory, along with regular roundtables and workshops on rules, policy developments and compliance approaches.
The partnership with Qima builds on Temu's established product safety and compliance program. In 2025, the company says it invested approximately US$100 million globally in compliance, product safety, and quality control, with plans to double that investment in 2026.
"Temu prioritizes the safety of products on our platform, and our partnership with Qima is a concrete step in that direction," said a Temu spokesperson. "Together with Qima, we are focused on providing consumers with a safe and trustworthy shopping experience, while making compliance resources more accessible to sellers on our platform."
Temu also partners with Eurofins Consumer Product Testing and Eurofins Assurance, global providers of testing, inspection and certification services, in an effort to support transparency in its product safety processes, enhance quality control, and ensure that products sold on the platform meet safety and regulatory standards.

The partnership with Qima represents one of the first integrations of third-party compliance tools directly into the Temu seller center workflow. Chief Temu rival Shein has also built and implemented a multi-faceted product safety protocol designed to help ensure product compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as the company’s own product safety standards.
"As e-commerce platforms serve more markets and more product categories, independent compliance infrastructure becomes essential, not optional," said Pierre-Nicolas Disser, CEO of consumer products, Qima. "This partnership, and particularly the integration into Temu's seller center, is a step toward making compliance testing and certification a routine part of how sellers operate. That's exactly the kind of work QIMA's global network was built for."
Temu is a global e-commerce platform owned by Chinese e-commerce company PDD Holdings with U.S. headquarters in Boston and operating in more than 90 markets worldwide.
