The Seoul-based center, the Environmental Technology Research Institute (ETRI), has received CSA’s Witnessed Manufacturer's Testing for Certification (WMTC) certificate, meaning Coway has officially become a CSA-qualified witness laboratory.
During the certification process, CSA undertook a rigorous analysis of the testing laboratory's analytical capabilities. The certification means Coway can test new products within its own R&D center.
"Our qualification as a CSA witness laboratory demonstrates that Coway's in-house testing system adheres to the highest global requirements, enabling us to act swiftly in gaining CSA certifications in the North American market," said Park Chan-Jeong, head of the ETRI.
"In the future, we'll continue to provide our customers with reliable products while contributing to product safety as a comprehensive global safety certification testing laboratory."
Coway’s ETRI had already been recognized for its test and analysis capabilities by other certification bodies, including as a designated testing laboratory by TÜV SÜD.
