1 Safety Management System under Electrical Appliances Safety Control Act Overview of Electrical Appliances Safety Control Act For the purpose of public safety against danger of electric shock, fire hazard and injury, and radio interference suppression occurring from the poor quality or illegal products, the Electrical Appliance Safety Control Act was enacted in In 1999, the Electrical Appliance Safety Control Act was amended in order to transform a Type Approval System supervised by the government into a Safety Certification System implemented by designated safety certification bodies, based on international criteria such as ISO and ISO/IEC Guide 65. The designated certification bodies shall carry out product testing, factory inspection and also regular inspection (once a year) to ensure the safety of electrical appliances subject to the safety management designed for use with a voltage rating between 50V to 1000V for AC. The amended Act went into effect as of July 1, Some of DC electrical appliances including foot warmers and electric mattresses were included in the scope of the safety certification system on January 1, 2011, In order to apply with different safety control procedures according to hazard-levels, KATS has implemented a Self- Regulatory Safety Confirmation System simultaneously with the existing safety certification system starting on January 1, 2009, considering changes in circumstances such as the development of electrical and electronic industry, an increase in putting newly developed products on the market and the need of eased restrictions of the government for enterprises, etc. 1

2 KATS designates high-hazard major electrical appliances as the products subject to the safety certification and has implemented the safety certification system allowing sale of electrical appliances received safety certification after undergoing product testing and factory inspection from the safety certification bodies. For the products subject to the safety certification, the certification bodies implement the annual inspection. Regarding the electrical appliances subject to the self-regulatory safety confirmation, the product testing is only required once every 5 years. Safety Certification Bodies KATS designates certification bodies which meet the requirements of ISO and ISO/IEC Guide 65. Additionally, certification bodies shall be designated in accordance with Article 9 of Electrical Appliances Safety Control Act. We have three certification bodies as follow: KTL (Korea Testing Laboratory) KTC (Korea Testing Certification) KTR (Korea Testing & Research Institute) , Guro3-dong, Guro-gu Seoul, Korea 692-8, Keumjeong-dong, Kunpo-city, Kyeonggido, Korea 88-2, Yeongdeungpo-dong 8-ga, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, Korea TEL: FAX: WEB: TEL: FAX: WEB: TEL: FAX: WEB: 2

3 Procedures of Safety Certification and Self-Regulatory Safety Confirmation Systems Ⅰ. Safety Certification System KATS (Government regulatory agency) KATS: Designating certification bodies which meet the requirements of ISO and ISO/IEC Guide 65 Certification Bodies(Certificate Issuance, Product Testing, Factory Inspection) * KTL: Korea Testing Laboratory, KTC: Korea Testing Certification, KTR: Korea Testing & Research Institute 1 Apply for safety certification 2 Product testing and initial factory inspection 3 Issuing a safety certificate 4 Annual factory inspection Applicants (Manufacturers: For foreign manufacturers, they have an option to submit the application directly or through representatives whose residency is registered in Rep. of Korea) Sell products (Use of the national integrated certification mark: (KC: Korea Certification) 3

4 Ⅱ. Self-Regulatory Safety Confirmation System KATS (Government regulatory agency) KATS: Designating certification bodies which meet the requirements of ISO and ISO/IEC Guide 65 Certification Bodies (Certificate Issuance, Product Testing, Factory Inspection) *KTL: Korea Testing Laboratory, KTC: Korea Testing Certification, KTR: Korea Testing & Research Institute 1 Apply for a declaration of 2 Product testing 3 Issuing a confirmation letter of a declaration of self-regulatory safety confirmation self-regulatory safety confirmation 4 Product testing(once every 5 years) Applicants (Manufacturers: For foreign manufacturers, they have an option to submit the application directly or through representatives whose residency is registered in Rep. of Korea.) Sell products (Use of the national integrated certification mark: (KC: Korea Certification) 4

5 Labeling Requirement KATS launched a "National Integrated Certification Mark, KC(Korea Certification)" system, so the existing EK mark was changed into KC mark for electrical appliances. According to the system, manufacturers shall place the KC mark on the products newly received safety certification starting on January 1, 2009 in accordance with Article 6 of the Electrical Appliances Safety Control Act for the appliances subject to the safety certification and Article 13 of the Act for the appliances subject to the self-regulatory safety confirmation. The mark with certification number, product name, model name, voltage rating, etc. shall be indicated on the appliances and their packages. * NOTE: We allow to use the new KC mark ( ) in parallel with the existing EK mark ( ) by June 30, 2011 to provide enterprises with a longer preparation period. Scope of Electrical Appliances subject to the Safety Certification and the Self-Regulatory Safety Confirmation Please refer to the below Attached Table 1 and 2. * NOTE: The interpretation of the below product list is just arranged to assist understandings of the products subject to the safety certification and self-regulatory safety confirmation in Korea. 5
