Introduction to KC Mark Certification
The South Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE) announced on August 25, 2008 that the National Standards Committee would implement a new national unified certification mark called the "KC Mark" mark from July 2009 to December 2010.
The new logo is called KC Mark, representing Korea Certification. The current 13 mandatory signs will be unified under this new sign.
One result of this measure is to reduce suppliers' expenses on certification fees, gradually making the Korean KC Mark a certified global brand. But there is a drawback, the recently issued KCC logo will only be implemented for a few years, and * * * will eventually be unified under this new KC logo.

December 2008: Update of National Basic Regulations and Current Laws and Regulations
July 2009: MKE began implementing national unified labeling
