Industrial Standardization Establishment of Korean Industrial Standards (KS)
 
KATS establishes KS by consensus in the Korean Industrial Standards Council (KISC).
KATS reviews KS every 5 years for confirmation, revision or withdrawal depending on the
needs of the industry. KATS may take appropriate actions regarding KS within 5-year period,
if it finds it necessary, to ensure harmonization with international standards or facilitate the development of new technologies.
Standardization activities are focused on new business fields like information technology, environment and recycling to keep up with technological progress.
