KCs is a system that checks the safety of harmful or hazardous machinery•apparatus through notification according to Occupational Safety & Health Act. KCs can evaluate not only the performance of the machinery but also the range of the manufacturer's technical capabilities and production systems. The certification which is provided by the Occupational Safety & Health Act. includes safety certification, safety inspection and Reporting on Voluntary Safety Verification.


What is Safety certification?
Safety certification is the system that the Minister of Employment and Labor reviews the safety performance of machinery•apparatus subject to safety certification and the manufacturer's technical capability and production system meet safety certification criteria.
What is Reporting on Voluntary Safety Verification?

How to get KCs certificate?
If machinery•apparatus which manufactured and imported is products of Reporting on Voluntary Safety Verification, necessary documents and test reports issued by an authorized testing laboratory shall submit to agency. Necessary documents are document related with technology of product such as design drawings. After document review, technical ability and production ability are reviewed and if the product is reviewed and verified as appropriate, the certificate can be issued.
