KC Certification The KC Certification (Safety Certification) system is a system that certifies the safety of the products and production facilities for electrical appliances, household goods, and children’s products. In other words, it is a procedure to check the safety of a product by testing it to ensure that it is safe for use by users, that is, the public. The product certification process is carried out by a nationally recognized professional company, and the KC certification mark can be obtained only after passing a specific test.
First, we will tell you how to check KC certification information. If you look at the product information window online, etc., products subject to KC certification must have the certification information displayed in the product information section. The authentication number, etc. must be entered as shown in the image below. KC 인증 정보 조회

Go to Product Safety Information Center
After accessing the Product Safety Information Center, a search window will appear as shown in the image above. Here, if you search for the product’s model name or certification number in the product details in the full search, product information will appear. After actually using it, I found that it is more accurate to search for the model name in the overall search, and I used a method of comparing it with the authentication number that appears on the product.
