This agreement marks Temu's second partnership with a domestic certification body, following the quality inspection agreement it signed with the KOTITI Testing and Research Institute earlier this year.


KTC is a leading domestic certification organization operating under the Electrical Appliances and Consumer Products Safety Control Act. Through this partnership, KTC will provide regulatory testing and certification services to ensure that products sold on the Temu platform meet domestic safety standards.


Temu is implementing policies to protect local consumers' safety by cooperating with domestic institutions. In May 2024, the company also signed a "Voluntary Product Safety Agreement" with the Korea Fair Trade Commission.


In addition, Temu operates its own quality management system. The company conducts rigorous seller screening procedures and utilizes a 24-hour algorithm-based online monitoring system. Potential issues are further identified through manual reviews. When products with potential violations are detected, Temu takes immediate action to remove these products and protect consumers.



A Temu representative stated, "Our collaboration with KTC further strengthens Temu's commitment to building a transparent and trustworthy e-commerce ecosystem," adding, "We will continue to work with reputable institutions to raise quality standards and provide reliable value to consumers."
