The company said the Alzip Mat production plant in Hwaseong, south of Seoul, underwent a two-day on-site audit from April 20 to 21 as part of the CCC process. The review covered raw-material controls, production processes, finished-product inspections and the overall quality management system.
CCC is a mandatory Chinese government certification program intended to ensure the safety and quality of products sold in China. Without it, sales and imports in China are restricted. The system requires not only document screening but also factory inspections and follow-up oversight.
Infant mat products fall under child safety rules and must be evaluated on multiple criteria, including material safety, control of harmful substances and shock-absorption performance. In South Korea, infant products must also obtain KC certification under the Special Act on the Safety of Children’s Products, and the company said China’s CCC is viewed as a similar safety framework.
JWorld Industry said the audit is intended to verify consistency in its manufacturing process and its quality controls, laying groundwork for entry into the Chinese market, where safety certification is widely seen as a key factor for distribution.
The company cited industry views that the infant mat market has continued to grow as interest rises in reducing noise between floors and improving indoor safety. Demand has also been increasing for mats using high-density foam and products with antibacterial and water-resistant features.
“This CCC audit is a process to have our product quality confirmed against global standards,” a company official said, adding that the company plans to consider expanding overseas markets, including China, after obtaining certification.
JWorld Industry produces and sells infant mats and play products centered on Alzip Mat and operates a quality management system based on domestic production.
