The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS), operating under the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, has announced comprehensive enhancements to its product safety inspection strategy for 2025. The revised plan includes a significant expansion in monitoring both overseas direct purchases and domestic markets. Inspections of imported online purchases will more than double from 450 to 1,000 items, with a focus on blocking hazardous goods from entering Korea. E-commerce platforms will be mandated to delist unsafe items. Domestically, 4,700 products\u2014particularly those with high safety risks like children\u2019s items and electrical appliances\u2014will undergo scrutiny. Collaboration efforts will also intensify, with coordinated crackdowns involving the police and local authorities increasing in frequency and regional reach. Products covered under this initiative usually require KC certification<\/a> <\/strong>under Korea\u2019s safety and quality standards in order to be approved for import and sale in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The inspection campaign is structured into multiple phases, spanning April to November, with seasonal and high-risk products receiving prioritized attention. Over 70% of inspections will target e-commerce platforms. Additionally, enforcement against uncertified or illegal goods such as non-KC-marked electric scooters and bicycles will be ramped up through joint efforts with 24 local governments and police operations. Public participation is also emphasized, with over 150 consumer watchdogs and 20 online platforms involved in surveillance. Recall management will be reinforced through direct consumer notifications by eight major platforms and enhanced tracking in retail stores supported by 870 million KRW in funding. Educational initiatives will further amplify consumer awareness via digital media and in-store kiosks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
