The certification process for Korea is back to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions. During the pandemic, many foreign manufacturers suffered from the fact that Korean auditors could not travel to the production sites. During the pandemic, audits were either held remotely, paused, or in some cases carried out by third parties, depending on product type and process. Since the lifting of the travel restrictions, the auditors can once again travel internationally, and the alternative certification and re-certification processes have been discontinued. However, foreign manufacturers are still advised to obtain approvals for exports to Korea at an early stage, as almost all authorities still have a backlog for international travel and a limited personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a recent visit to South Korea, representatives from MPR International discussed the innovations in process flow with KOSHA<\/strong><\/a>, KGS<\/strong><\/a>, KTL<\/strong><\/a>, KTC <\/strong><\/a>and the relevant test labs .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korean standards and product-specific implementation rules are regularly revised or reissued by the authorities, which sometimes has significant implications for the corresponding product manufacturers. New releases and updates are generally not announced publicly and must be tracked and implemented independently by manufacturers. Failure to comply can result in severe consequences, including certificate cancellation and\/or a sales ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the harmonization of approval standards in the area of KCs-Ex<\/strong><\/a> to the IECEx system is currently being pursued but has not yet been fully completed. Separate KCs Ex certification will still be required but should further simplify the process. In addition, there are many great innovations in the area of approval of equipment in the hydrogen sector and the test facilities required for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
