Strengthening the KC Market Surveillance System
To enhance consumer protection, there are plans to conduct an in-depth investigation of "24-year product safety" by purchasing more than 1.5 times the usual number of products (planned to investigate over 4,600 products in2024).
After obtaining KC certification, continuous customer management is essential, as administrative measures such as recalls and cancellation of safety certification may follow if manufacturers or importers arbitrarily modify products without appropriate change notifications or use components not listed in the KC certificate.
South Korea
South Korea has well defined (reformed from previously many different) certification schemes for electronic and electric products, as wel for radio and telecom interfaces.
KCC approval

KC approval
KC certification concerns all Safety and EMC aspects and the related equipment can be classified in type 1 or 2. Approvals can only be issued to a local entitiy. Equipment shall be maked with the KC logo and approval number. Depending on the product specification, we can make a correct judgement of what needs to be done. Special attention must be paid to power adapters, as these must meet the MEPS requirements (energy efficiency) before importation!
