Korea KC certification

What is Korean KC certification?

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 borne by product manufacturers, in July 2009, the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE) began to implement and adopt the national unified KC mark , Named "KC Mark" logo, the new logo represents Korea Certification, and South Korea’s current 13 compulsory logos will eventually be unified under this logo. One result of this move is to reduce the supplier’s expenditure on certification costs. , Using South Korea’s KC Mark has gradually become a certification of a world brand.
