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. It was established in 2009 by the Korea Institute of Technology and Standards (KATS) in accordance with the Electrical Appliances Safety Management Act (ELECTRIC APPLIANCES SAFETY CONTROL ACT) The mandatory safety certification system implemented on January 1.
In order to avoid repeated certification, EMC and Safety will be managed separately from July 1, 2012. For electrical and electronic products that apply for Korean certification, they must obtain KC certificates and KCCs for their safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. Certificate (new MSIP). There are 2 KC-certified qualification certification agencies: Korea Testing Certification (KTC) and Korea Electrical Testing Institute (KTL). These two are not only KC's certification agencies, but also qualification testing laboratories.
In terms of safety standards, all products entering the Korean market need to comply with the Korean safety standard K standard (similar to the IEC standard). When using the IEC standard, it must meet the requirements of South Korea. The national differences can be found in the announcement in the IECEE CB system. In terms of EMC, the Korean EMI standard is similar to the CISPR standard, and the EMS standard is similar to the EN standard. According to the requirements of the latest "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.

Factory inspection
(1) First factory inspection: After KETI accepts the product certification application, it needs to conduct the first factory inspection of the factory and conduct a preliminary assessment of the factory's quality control system.
(2) Annual factory inspection: After the certificate is issued, the certification body will conduct an annual follow-up inspection of the factory every year. The purpose is to check the consistency of the factory's quality control system and whether it can continue to meet safety standards.
(3) Sampling inspection: There are 216 kinds of products included in the scope of compulsory certification of the KC mark so far. The Korean Safety Law stipulates that all kinds of products are sampled every year, so each product is sampled once a year.
