The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS)<\/strong><\/a> under the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy has announced the 4th Basic Plan for Children’s Product Safety (2025\u20132027). This initiative aims to strengthen safety management for children’s products by addressing hazardous overseas direct purchases and establishing new safety standards for emerging smart and hybrid products. The plan consists of four main strategies and nine key tasks to enhance child safety. Currently, all products intended for children under 13 years old must obtain KC certification before being sold in South Korea. However, while product recalls have declined, violations of safety regulations remain high at approximately 60%. The government is also concerned about a 43% increase in imported children’s products through direct purchases over the past four years, as many of these items do not meet local safety standards. Children’s products typically require KC Safety certification<\/a><\/strong> to be approved for import and sale in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key strategies of the plan include enhancing safety management systems, strengthening online and direct purchase safety measures, creating new standards for hybrid and smart children’s products, and improving industry compliance and consumer awareness. Actions will include introducing new warning labels, adjusting certification levels based on product risk, requiring foreign e-commerce platforms to remove hazardous products, expanding inspections of overseas recalls, and establishing a Children’s Product Safety Research Center. The government will also support manufacturers by simplifying certification procedures and providing financial assistance for product safety checks. The initiative seeks to reduce accident rates, prevent hazardous imports, and ensure a safer market for children’s products in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
