The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) announced a proposed amendment to the Operational Guidelines for Safety Management of Electrical and Household Products. Reassess safety management categories based on risk evaluation, administrative actions/recalls, and manufacturing/usage environments. Reclassify certain products from safety certification to safety confirmation: – Electric vacuum cleaners – Electric washing machines and spin dryers – Microwave ovens (using frequencies between 300 MHz and 30 GHz) – Electric dryers – Electric devices for toilets
