KC (Korea certification) certification, formerly known as EK certification, is the Korean electrical and electronic products safety certification system, namely KC mark certification. It is a compulsory safety certification system implemented by Kats on January 1, 2009 according to the electric appliances Safety Control Act.
In order to avoid repeated certification, since July 1, 2012, EMC and safety have been managed separately. For electrical and electronic products applying for Korean certification, KC certificate and KCC Certificate (New MSIP) must be obtained respectively according to their safety and EMC requirements. There are two KC certification organizations: Korea testing certification (KTC) and Korea Electrical Testing Institute (KTL). These two are not only KC's certification institutions, but also qualification testing laboratories.
