Brief of the Framework Act on Product Safety
① The government may conduct safety investigations of the products distributed on the
Korean markets to verify their safety.
② The government may analyze product incidents and conduct inspection to prevent recurrence
of the incident.
③ The government may recommend the enterpriser to carry out a recall of the products
which have minor defect.
④ The government may order the enterpriser to carry out a recall of the products and announce
the case to the press for products having major defects.
⑤ If enterprisers are aware that their products are unsafe, they should report it to KATS and
carry out a voluntary recall.
⑥ Where enterprisers do not conduct a product recall, the government may conduct a manda-
tory recall and then claim expenses to the enterpriser.

KATS
IIPresent status of major policies including market surveillance
Conduct safety investigation coopera-tion with certification bodies, con-sumer groups and local governments
Enhance control of imported prod-ucts by expanding scope of the products which should get safety confirmation from a custom director.
Support R&D on advances in safety to solve original problems of product safety accidents- Fund 5 billion won(KR) for 34 projects in
2009- Fund 3.8 billion won for 30 projects in 2010.
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR PRODUCT SAFETY MANAGEMENT
* 153 items including 22 child products, 129 electric appliances
KATS
Strengthen safety investigation of products distributed in the market
Expand consumer participation for product safety monitoring
*Safety investigation of products (‘07) 842 cases (‘08) 1,003 cases (‘09) 3,049 cases (‘10) 3,035 cases
Place safety monitoring observers and safety keepers in the market
* Safety keepers : (‘10) 150 people
Strengthen safety management of imported products in cooperation with the Korea Customs Service
Give support to develop difficult common technologies for weak areas of product safety
▶ Establish an integrated DB for analysis of product safety information including product hazards and
recalls.▶ Prohibit sales of hazardous products in stores or online shopping by using e-blocking
system.

CHANGE OF PARADIGM FOR PRODUCT SAFETY MANAGEMENT
Early industrialization Economic Growth(1980~1990)
Entry of developed countries (since 2000)
Expand self-regulatory safety management system
Strengthen social responsibility(recalls)(since 2010)

ㅇ Before a product is released : Expand self-regulation of enterprisers from Safety Certification System to Self-regulatory Safety Confirmation System and Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity System
ㅇ After a product is released: Encourage enterprisers to take corporate social responsibility by strengthening market surveillance according to the Framework Act on Product Safety
After product is released,Market

Before a product is released,
Pre-regulation system(Individual acts)
<Safety Certification, etc,.>
