For Swiss exporters, the regulations in Korea mean that they have to provide complete manufacturing information for every part of their product or their machine. The prerequisite for application is that the product or the machine comes into contact with food.
The information required includes name, address, representative, telephone number and e-mail address. If the parts come from different manufacturers, these have to be registered separately. The Korean Ministry demands that registration be renewed every two years. The law has been in force since 2016.
