1. Reason for the amendment 
 
As the Electrical Appliances  Safety Control Act had been amended (Promulgated on 
December 21, 2007) to establish the ‘Korea Product Safety (hereinafter called “KPS”) System’ in order to differentiate safety management of electrical appliances by level of hazard, to establish a ‘Safety examination system’ in order to prevent the spread of hazard caused by electric appliances that are not subj ect to safety certific ation, to make laws 
easier to understand, and to complement the imperfection of system management. 
Thereupon, this amendment is to designate su bject electric applia nces for KPS and to 
define the procedure and methods  to carry out the KPS system. 
 
2. Key Elements 
 
A. Defined the electrical appliances su bject to KPS in Appendix 3, and let 
administrator of Korean Agency for Technology & Standards define and publish 
detailed range of subject electrical ap pliances for KPS (Article 3 of Proposal) 
B. Established newly the procedure and method of notifying KPS for subject 
electrical appliances, met hod to issue certificate of the notification. Also made it 
possible for manufacturer or  importer of subject electri cal appliances for KPS to 
submit batch notification when applying fo r KPS test (Article 19 of Proposal). 
C. Established newly regulations about pr ocedure and method of notifying changes 
on contents of KPS notification, and required documents that any business 
operator who notified KPS sh all retain (Article 20, Article 21 of Proposal). 
D. Regulated  confirmation procedure and requi red documents to submit for 
exemption from KPS notification etc. of subject electrical appliances for KPS, 
which are export-only and not to be do mestically marketed (Article 22 of 
Proposal). 
E. Regulated safety inspection procedure a nd required documents to submit for any 
person who intends to import and sell or leas e used electrical appliances that are 
subjects to KPS (Article 23 of Proposal). 
F. Regulated that used electrical appliances subject to safety cer tificate and subject 
to KPS should display unique product number on the safety certification mark 
(Appendix 7 pursuant to Artic le 14 and 23 of Proposal). 
G. Regulated safety certification mark a nd KPS mark for subject electrical 
appliances to be KC mark (Appendix 7 pur suant to Article 15 and 23 of Proposal). 
H. Established newly the items and method wh ich any manufacturer or importer of
