The Space Safety Certification system is the only corporate voluntary safety evaluation system in Korea, supervised by the National Fire Agency and administered by the Korea Safety Certification Institute. This certification evaluation involves top experts in disaster prevention safety, architectural structure, fire-fighting equipment, and disaster prevention fields, conducting a systematic space safety certification evaluation over approximately five months, consisting of seven categories and 143 detailed evaluation items.

Shinsegae Duty Free underwent evaluation by the Korea Safety Certification Institute from early April to the end of August, about five months. Through preliminary investigations and on-site evaluations conducted by fire protection engineers and fire and safety experts, and by actively improving risk factors at the business site, it achieved high scores and was ultimately selected as a certified space safety business site.

A representative of Shinsegae Duty Free stated, "Since this space is visited by many domestic and international customers, safety is the most important factor. It is very meaningful to be the first in the duty-free industry to obtain this space safety certification. Shinsegae Duty Free will continue to make efforts so that customers can shop more safely at all times."
