The entry of children's products into the Korean market requires certification in accordance with the KC certification system established by the Korean Children's Product Safety Special Law and the Korean Product Safety Management System, which is managed and implemented by the Korean Technical Standards Agency KATS. In order to comply with the efforts of the South Korean government to protect public health and safety, children's product manufacturers and importers must undergo KC certification before their products enter the South Korean market, so that their products meet the requirements of South Korean technical standards, and apply mandatory KC certification marks on their products.
1、 KC certification mode:
According to the risk level of products, the Korean Technical Standards Agency KATS divides the KC certification of children's products into three modes: safety certification, safety confirmation, and supplier compliance confirmation.
2、 Security certification process:
1). Security certification application
2). Product testing+factory inspection
3). Issuing certificates
4). Selling with added safety signs
3、 Security confirmation process
1). Security confirmation application

The safety certification label should be affixed to the surface of children's products for easy identification, and can also be printed or carved for marking, and should not be easily erased or peeled off; For situations where it is difficult to mark safety certification labels on the surface of products or where children's products purchased or used directly by end-users will not be circulated in the market, labels can be added to the minimum packaging of each product.
