Update time : 2025-07-09

The KC (Korea Certification) mark is a mandatory safety certification mark in South Korea. It indicates that electronic and electrical products, consumer goods, and children's products comply with Korean safety standards. To obtain the KC mark, products must undergo safety testing through internationally recognized testing laboratories and may also require factory audits. The mark typically includes the KC logo, certificate number, model name, manufacturer (or importer) information, date of manufacture, after-sales service contact number, and other safety-related details. All information must be clearly visible and labeled in Korean or English.
