In order to enable consumers to have a clearer understanding of the certification marks on the purchased products and to reduce the various certification costs incurred by the manufacturers of the products, in July 2009, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE) began to implement and adopt the national unified KC. The certification mark, named "KC Mark", the new mark represents Korea Certification, and the current 13 mandatory signs in Korea will be finally unified under this new mark. One result of this initiative is that reducing the supplier's spending on certification fees has made Korea KC Mark gradually become a world brand certification.
KC certified product catalog
According to the "Korea Electrical Appliances Safety Management Law", since January 1, 2009, electrical equipment safety certification is divided into compulsory certification and self-discipline (voluntary) certification.
Compulsory certification means that all electronic products belonging to compulsory products must be certified by KC Mark before they can be sold in the Korean market. Each year, factory inspection and product testing are required.
Self-discipline (voluntary) certification means that all electronic products belonging to a voluntary product need only be tested for a certificate and do not need to undergo factory inspection. The certificate is valid for 5 years.
Product certification scope: electrical products with input voltage between 50-1000, including IECEE classification methods including wire and cable, electrical switches, capacitors and power filters, household insulation transformers, power tools, household appliances, etc., electronic entertainment and information technology Equipment (IT), etc.).
