Scope and applicability

Industrial data quality certification

This voluntary scheme supports confidence in industrial data quality and use. It is not a blanket legal permit for manufacturing or equipment data.

Korean certification schemes and international standards are different. A translated guide does not extend a Korean certificate to other countries. Confirm the target market, product classification and current requirements with the relevant body.

Who this is for

  • Manufacturing and equipment data owners
  • Healthcare and public sector industrial data teams
  • Industrial data suppliers
