Scope and applicability

Artificial intelligence management system certification

Certification is voluntary and may support customer or supply-chain requirements. Applicable AI legal obligations require separate review.

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

  • AI developers and service providers
  • Organizations using AI in their operations
  • Teams establishing AI governance

Documents to prepare

AI inventory and responsibilities

Identify development, provision and use roles, scope, approvers and stakeholders.

AI risk and impact assessments

Analyze use context and stakeholder effects, linking treatment and acceptance decisions.

Lifecycle and operational evidence

Maintain data provenance, model validation, deployment approvals, monitoring and change records.

Preparation process

  1. Define scope and roles

    Identify AI systems and activities and check the body's accreditation scope.

  2. Implement and evaluate controls

    Apply risk and impact assessment findings in real operations and internal audits.
