KC certification

The Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE) announced on August 25, 2008 that the National Standards Commission will implement a new national uniform certification mark from July 2009 to December 2010 entitled "KC Mark "logo.

The new logo is called KC Mark, on behalf of Korea Certification. The current 13 kinds of mandatory signs will be finally unified under this new logo.

As a result of this move, reducing the supplier's cost of certification costs has gradually made Korea KC Mark a global brand certification. However, there is a drawback. The recently announced KCC logo will only be implemented for a few years and will eventually be unified under this new KC logo.

2Implementation Plan

December 2008: Renewal of National Basic Laws and Existing Decree

July 2009: MKE began to implement the national unity logo

January 2009 - December 2010: Improve regulations related to certification standards

January 2011: Complete the national unity mark to all compulsory certification
