Pricing and certification costs

Separate document software subscriptions, expert consulting quotes and certification body fees before setting your budget.

Document automation and management

KRW 300,000 per month for your team to create, edit and manage certification documentation with Specify. This is the software service fee, not a certification package price.

Optional expert review and consulting

Request a separate quote based on the certification, product scope, existing documents and support needed. Confirm deliverables, review rounds, on-site work and tax treatment before engagement.

Testing and assessment fees

Fees are charged separately by the relevant organization and vary by scope and scheme. Check the certification guides below for published fee information and official sources. Re-testing, travel and maintenance may be separate.

Agency fees

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.
