D-Wap Lowers KC Certification Barriers with AI, Proving Effectiveness in Children's Products and Home Appliances

Certification Burden for Small Businesses and Online Sellers Reduced by 50%
Creating a Safer Environment for Children's Products Through Public Procurement Integration

D-Wap Co., Ltd. (DWAF), which has developed an AI-based KC certification automation platform, is drawing attention in the industry by effectively resolving certification challenges faced by small manufacturers and online sellers. This year, the company has especially strengthened its certification consulting in the fields of children's toys and household appliances (such as heating devices), thereby demonstrating both the practical applicability and safety of its technology in real-world settings.

The conventional KC certification process posed significant barriers to new certifications, as the required items differed by product, often resulting in repeated tests even for similar products. D-Wap minimized unnecessary test items by automatically determining identical equipment using AI image analysis technology based on more than 960,000 KC certification data points. As a result, the time required for certification by companies has been reduced by an average of over 30%, and related testing costs have been cut by up to 50%.

Additionally, D-Wap's AI certification solution is recognized as an example of ESG management, as it reduces the use of test materials and waste generation by minimizing test items, thereby mitigating environmental impact. The company is also creating social value by hiring women who have experienced career interruptions as sales and certification consulting staff, assigning them to on-site work at exhibitions and consultation events, and supporting their re-entry into economic activity.

Looking ahead, D-Wap plans to connect the public procurement market with its KC certification platform to provide pre-certification consulting for KC-certified products such as educational materials, toys, and household devices used by local children's centers, kindergartens, and welfare institutions. The company aims to reduce certification risks in the product purchasing process of public institutions and enhance the safety of products used by children, thereby contributing to the creation of a safer living environment.

CEO Choi Yeonho stated, "KC certification can be a significant entry barrier for entrepreneurs, social enterprises, and women business owners with limited access to technology infrastructure and information. Through our AI automation platform, we will lower these barriers and grow as an ESG company that supports safe and sustainable entry into the public market."
