This inspection is being carried out to proactively strengthen safety management of hygiene products such as kitchen detergents and diapers. It will focus on companies that have had no inspection history or have had non-compliance records in the past three years.

The main inspection items include conducting self-quality inspections, compliance with sanitary processing standards and labeling standards for wet wipes. Along with the inspection, products with high production or import volumes such as toilet paper, disposable diapers, towels, dishcloths, cotton swabs, as well as detergents with non-compliance records, wet tissues for food service establishments, and sanitary wet wipes will be collected and tested for conformity with standards and specifications.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety stated, "We plan to continuously conduct guidance, inspections, collection, and testing of hygiene products frequently used in daily life," and added, "We will do our best to create an environment where safe hygiene products can be consumed."
