How to check KC certification number for electricity, radio waves, and children’s products
Beopdeokhu 2022. 9. 4. 15:36
KC certification is a certification system that integrates the certifications required for each product at the national level. For example, the Electrical Appliances and Household Products Safety Management Act stipulates that in order to ensure the safety of electrical appliances used in daily life, safety standards are set for some imported or manufactured products and a certification mark is attached to indicate that they have met these standards.
In addition, various laws such as the Radio Waves Act, the Special Act on Safety Management of Children’s Products, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act have established such certification systems and indicated each certification. You will also see familiar marks. hehe
Perhaps because they judged this to be a waste of administration, they integrated the certification marks for each field into one KC certification mark.
This is the mark right below. It is commonly found in electrical appliances such as battery chargers, hand fans, and Bluetooth products.
KC Mark = Korea Certification Mark will become a national integrated certification mark. Related organizations include the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Public Administration and Security, Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Employment and Labor, and Ministry of Science and ICT.
Nowadays, with the advancement of the Internet, you can check online whether the product you are using is certified.
1. Electrical Appliances and Household Products Safety Management Act
Electrical appliances and household goods are regulated by the above laws.

You can think of it as an item that has the potential to cause harm to people if something goes wrong.
Certification targets under the Electrical Appliances and Household Products Safety Management Act can be viewed on the Product Safety Management Institute website.

If you search using the authentication number written on the product and it does not work or it shows that a recall request has been received, this can also be considered a problem.
