Introduction to KC Certification

KC (Korea Certification) certification, formerly known as EK certification, is South Korea’s electrical and electronic appliance safety certification system, that is, KC mark certification. The Korea Institute of Technology Standards (KATS) was established in 2009 in accordance with the Electrical Appliances Safety Management Act (ELECTRIC APPLIANCES SAFETY CONTROL ACT). The compulsory safety certification system implemented on January 1, from January 1, 2011, 13 certification marks have been included in the national comprehensive certification mark KC.

According to the requirements of the new "Electrical Appliances Safety Management Law" and according to the different levels of product hazards, KC certification is divided into compulsory safety certification, self-discipline safety certification and supplier self-confirmation. Among them, compulsory safety certification controls more dangerous products. High, the supplier self-confirms that the product under control is less dangerous.
