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.
