South Korea’s Green Product Certification recognizes products that meet defined environmental performance standards and the companies that manufacture or sell them. Below is a concise overview of what it is, who qualifies, what it signals, and how it appears in KOBDi.
What is Green Product Certification?
Administered by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute (KEITI), Green Product Certification verifies that a product satisfies eco-criteria such as reduced resource use, lower emissions, and environmentally responsible materials or processes.
Who can receive this certification?
Korean Manufacturers or distributors whose products pass KEITI’s environmental and quality review against published green standards. Applicants must submit technical documentation and evidence for product evaluation; certifications are time-bound and subject to renewal/review.
What does the certification indicate about the business?
It indicates the firm has at least one certified green product, demonstrating verified environmental performance and compliance with KEITI’s criteria. Practically, it serves as a credibility marker for buyers, partners, and public programs that prioritize environmentally preferable products.
